38/366 - Peacock

Another shot from Maryon Wilson Park - this time of a regal peacock in the animal park - I love the contrast of his tail against the snow.

36/366 - Silly Snowballs

A raft of photos from our walk today, but I couldn't go past this one of BoyWonder.  He's made an enormous snowball and is throwing it in the air waiting for it to explode when it lands.  Between work, house renovations, the allotment, study and being a husband and Daddy, he doesn't get enough time to be silly - this was one of those rare occasions, and it was a delight to watch

I'm a strong believer that silliness is a good thing, and extremely important for mental health.

Cheers, KangaRue :)

28/366 - Watching Ducks

I discovered the existence of Maryon Wilson Park by accident when I took Pickle to the playground last week.  It's across the road from the playground, and is more of a wood than a park, though it has cleared areas that will be great for picnics when summer comes.  But most importantly there are animals!  Goats, sheep, peacocks, a pig, a herd of deer... and ducks.  Quacking, flapping, swimming ducks!

Pickle slept through our first sojourn to the park, but on our second try, I strapped on the Moby, bundled us both under the wrap and jumped on the bus. I snapped this shot of us just as the ducks made a ruckus that grabbed Pickle's attention. 

Cheers, KangaRue :)
