So there is a watery theme to today's pictures, that and woodland of course. All of the pictures were taken this past weekend at Mere Sands Wood in Lancashire and it is a favourite place of mine. It is really peaceful and on a day like Saturday it was especially nice to be there. Walking around listening to the sound of birds in the trees and the chatter of newly hatched chicks in the many bird boxes scattered throughout the woods was just wonderful.
It is predominately a nature reserve and there are a number of hides from which it is possible to observe the wildlife and although I didn't take any pictures of the birds on Saturday it was nice just taking some quiet moments, it was what I needed.
I hope you like the pictures I have chosen, the small pond was so peaceful and calm, if you enlarge the first image you will be able to make out some of the many fish that were basking in the afternoon sun. The final two images are similar but of different stretches of woodland stream. I love the colour of the trees and undergrowth in the sunlight and the reflection in the still water.
