Sailing

We met up with friends and their dog for a walk this morning.  There were quite a few people in the park (you can see some on the path to the left of this picture), but the swan appeared to have the lake largely to itself. I love the way it held its wings slightly lifted as it sailed along.

I don't know why I bother looking at weather forecasts.  Yesterday evening the forecast for today was clear skies and sunshine.  When I woke up, it was dull and rainy, so I checked the forecast again: it now said it would be cloudy all day.  While we were out, the cloud cleared and it became sunny with a lovely clear sky.  When I got home I checked the forecast and it now said there would be sunshine.  I conclude that weather forecasters just look out of the window occasionally  and decide that what ever they see will be the forecast for the rest of the day.
