Some Mondays are definitely better than others

We both had the day off today, forecast fabulous, plan - head for the river and swim.
This we did, the ducks paddling around us, curious at the new inhabitants of the river. We sat and watched the dippers and wagtails, listened to the rush of the waterfalls and the sound of the thrushes in the trees. It was quite blissful. Then we heard a splash, M shouted at me to look, luckily I had the camera and was able to catch the deer bounding across the river, stopping to look at us and then bounding off and up the bank and into the woods. It was a fairy tale moment.

* Not sure what variety of deer it was, and only had the 55mm lens so see what you can make of it.
