Cirrus Clouds

Oh dear, I have lost my camera, my favourite Cannon G 1 X.  I left it on a park bench, and when I realised it was missing, went back and it was gone!!  I hope it is making it's way to the local Police Station.  So I went home and got our my old camera, which is an Olympus E330.  It is a lovely camera, but very heavy.  I met up with Piano Lady and The Tuner by the Marina, she took her photo to the west, while my photo is looking south.  

I went to church this morning, on creche today, looking after 4 little children.  They were very well behaved.  The hymn for today is 'Come let us sing for joy to the Lord'. 

Looking forward to our walk tomorrow, but rain is in the forecast.  We'll see!!
