I went for a walk in a local spot that which has the interesting distinction of being incredibly marshy and also cover with huge areas of sand.  This place has more different species of dragonflies than anywhere else in the country, and was so sandy that polar explorers used it to train as the best surrogate for walking through snow.  Today it was very wet and we simply couldn’t walk the route I’d planned so we just followed the driest path, out over the board walks over the marsh, until we found a drier path into the sand ‘dunes’.  The light was simply wonderful; the frost made all sorts wonderful patterns on the trees and, as you can see, the ice over the ponds and mires was just incredible!

All-in-all we had a perfect walk, in the most beautiful light followed by a rather nice lunch.  The lesson for me is sometimes, not knowing where you are going can bring all sorts of unexpected delights your way, so maybe we should not be so distressed when our plans can not be implemented…. So if your plan gang agley today, I hope that it bring unexpected gifts your way too!
