Searching For The Shoveller

A shorter bike ride this morning down to Wanstead Park and back.. The muddy tracks on the paths are drying out so fast. Some of them are now like concrete lanes through the woods. Great for cycling.

Down by the lake this chap appeared and set up his device. I think it must be some kind of telescope. I asked him if he could see the heron or an egret that frequent the locality. He said he was trying to see a shoveller. I had a good look but couldn't see anyone digging. But when I got home I looked it up and found that it is a bird. 

In Photo Processing news, following the society Cross Processing meeting last night I had a play with the new Sky Replacement tool in Photoshop that I learnt from Hilary. It’s amazing and I was able to replace the rather flat and uninteresting sky in this photo with some nice puffy clouds. Who new?
