Nice weather for ducks…

waterfall steps

…personally if I was a duck and it had pissed down non-stop for over a week I’d be pretty bleedin’ miserable. A light shower on an April afternoon and I’d be fluffing and preening and looking all jolly in a ducky ‘I’m quite waterproof’ way but on a freezing cold afternoon halfway up a mountain with a force 7 ramming precipitation up my lightly feathered derriere. Not likely…

Anyways – the excessive downwards water delivery has supplied excellent photographic opportunity with the overflowing river bursting over some stone steps above Lousã castle. Very pretty it was too…

More pics at my flickr page.

I didn’t surf today. Pfft.

    Does the phrase ‘you can prise it from my cold dead hands’ mean anything to you? That’s not an immediate invitation by the way…

    That’s a jolly nice photo old chap.

    (p.s. you might want to try using a tripod…helps eradicate all that blurring)

    Thanks Mr List. If wisdom were a tree sir – you would be a bush sir (name that movie for 17 bonus points).

    It was quite spectacular. And cold. And loud. And you should never start a sentence with and. Or end it.

    Despite the fact we thought you’d fallen into the river at the time this shot was taken, it’s a loverly photo from a loverly day. And I’m glad you didn’t get your feet wet :-) xxx
