Dragonflies at the tarn

Sitting quietly at the side of Moss Eccles Tarn near Claife Heights to the West of Windermere, a dragonfly came to sit in the sun on the tip of my boot. I felt very privileged.

These are the 'new' boots which I bought at New Year - looking pretty well worn after just 8 months, but still really comfortable and still waterproof. So I'm relieved (given the price of boots these days) to be able to say that they were a good buy.

This is a little known area, judging by how few people were there, with some tranquil tarns and tremendous views: this one looks towards Crinkle Crags and Bowfell, a destination for later in the week.
