Wednesday 12th May 2010

Another clear morning followed an unseasonably cold night, so I headed up to Blea Tarn for a gentle stroll as it was a good bet it would be lovely up there today - and I was pleased that I was right! I'm glad I got there relatively early though as the cloud quickly began to build in a similar way to yesterday and brought the rather flat sky with it. Apologies for the amount of similar looking views, I didn't wander very far!

The Langdale Pikes and Side Pike.

I waited around for the sun to come out, the Langdales to come out of shade and the ripples to cease on the tarn before taking this shot - the Langdale Pikes across Blea Tarn.

Blake Rigg.

More reflection shots.

Of course I had to keep the dogs in the car at Blea Tarn otherwise there would be no reflections, so next it was down the road to Slaters Bridge to give them a bit of a run.

Great Carrs and Greenburn.

Wrynose Fell across Little Langdale Tarn.

Heading down to Slaters Bridge.

Slaters Bridge - it has started to cloud over quite heavily now.

Later, more Water Lilies on Loughrigg Tarn but it has almost completely clouded over now.
