Cascade

Wild West Yorkshire nature diary

There's a pale rainbow at one stage this morning but it's windy and wet for the whole afternoon. The lawn is now soggy and slippy and it's not surprising that moss grows so luxuriantly at the front of the house, where the grass hardly sees the sun in the winter.

The river is cascading over the weir, rather than fanning out in braids around the rocky debris.

Two mutes swans are where they always seem to be these days: on the calm canal by the entrance to the canal basin.
