Dip

I don't think I'd seen the Dipper since the spring, but one was there at the usual spot having a dip in the beck  today.

I'd had the day off work so spent a good chunk of the morning finishing off some painting, before heading down to Tong Park in the afternoon. Despite the rainy conditions there were Southern and Brown Hawker dragonflies on patrol. 

I came back through the woods and arrived by autopilot at the stepping stones, forgetting we'd had a couple of days of heavy rain. There was not much sign of the stepping stones (extra) but I made my way across in my wellies and with my brolly as a stick.
