Blea Tarn

There are at least three Blea Tarns in the Lake District, one above Watendlath, one in Eskdale and the best known, this one in the Langdales. Blea is an old Norse word for blue, and tarn is a small lake or jewel; meaning that Blea Tarn is a little blue jewel.  Today it was a slightly grey jewel, but it's my first visit there this year, and it felt good to be back.
