Me and my shadow

I'm not a great lover of hot sunshine unlike these beauties, and there were plenty about today. I could quite happily have spent most of the day watching them but the 12 o clock sun was beating down and the lake was fully in the sun. So I then carried on to a local national trust garden, partly shaded, had a walk round but have now retreated to my back garden under a brolly. It is nice to get out in the fresh air after being inside all week.
