I know everyone is eagerly awaiting the rest of the photographs from my Everest Base Camp trip, I promise I'm working away getting all of the photo's sorted and the web pages done. But it was far too nice to be stuck in the house today, with all the lovely blue skies and warm sunshine. So we decided to have a very relaxing stroll around Tarn Hows and Hodge Close, it was my choice, I knew we could have gone much higher, but with the weather the way it was I thought it would be the best place for photos. I wasn't wrong, it was just about as perfect as it gets, I thought I was lucky when I did a similar walk back in March, but I think someone was looking down on me today. I could have spent hours and hours taking photo's this morning, the reflections on the tarns were stunning to say the least. I'm not going to ramble on and on, I will leave you to make your own minds up, I just hope you enjoy the photo's as much I we have ......
