Mono Monday: Water

I had one of those days today - I seemed to be endlessly busy, but got almost nothing done. Never mind - tomorrow's another day.

I had errands to run in Stratford in the afternoon, and as the River Avon meets the Stratford-upon-Avon Canal in the middle of the town it seemed like a good opportunity to get a shot for today's Mono Monday challenge. In the event I was spoiled for choice: I loved this mallard preening, but it didn't look as good in mono; I spent more time than I could actually spare watching this pair of swans tidying their nest and its environs, and I had another meeting with Grumpy Cob, who seems to exist in a permanent state of rage (much like myself at that age, I must confess). In the end I chose this shot because of the added bonus of the water droplets falling from his beak.

Many thanks to notowennewitt for hosting the MM challenges this month.
