Runcorn Bridge.

Just recently I took advantage of the nice weather to take a walk around Spike Island with my grandson, great views of the Runcorn Bridge and across the River Mersey to Widnes.  Further up the river the progress that is being made on the "The Mersey Gateway Project" (The New 6 Lane Bridge) can be seen, work started in May 2014 and is due for completion in the Autumn of 2017.

 

For comparison 3 photos taken the next day when the tide was in, it was very calm day again the water looks like a mill pool.

A Long While.

Well it has been quite a while since I last posted, I have still been going out walking as usual but these days as I tend to have 2 dogs accompanying me the photography has taken a bit of a back seat, however these were taken recently on a walk.

Feeding The Ducks.

Still no noticeable improvement in the weather, it seems to be raining on and off every day.  Went on a trip to local reservoir with my grandson to feed the ducks, before very long the seagulls turned up to join in.  Some signs of warmer weather to come on the way back. 

 

Looking Forward To Spring.

It has been a long time since the last update, we have still been going out, just not as far.  I am sure it has not rained every day since, but sometimes it seems that way. Here we are now in 2014, two thirds of the way through January and I for one am looking forward to spring and some warmer and dryer weather. Any walk is a good walk but much more enjoyable in even half decent weather, here's hoping for 2014.
