Around Derwentwater 1 - The beginning


Last Sunday, Dad, Ben and I took a day trip to Cumbria to see Mark. Ben took up all of his climbing gear and while they were spending their afternoon hauling themselves up a rock face, Dad and I went for a rather more sedate walk.

We dropped off the lads in Borrowdale and headed for the east shore of Derwentwater.


Boots on; flask in rucksack; camera over shoulder. What could be better?

  1. Both of these shots are perfect. The first portrays the entrance beautifully. The second captures the dreamy watercolor feel of the place.

  2. Reminds me of my boyhood, we stayed in the Lake District one summer holiday and I did my first watercolor of a little stone bridge with Derwentwater in the background. Lovely photos on a windless day. Is Dad your father or your husband? English is sometimes confusing!

  5. Hi H!

    I was away all of yesterday and am only now beginning to catch up on my blog reading :)

    Your pictures are STUNNING! I wish I could be telepathically transported there. Nothing warms the soul more than a great day outdoors in pristine surroundings!
