5 in 5 - May 2016 - Messing about on the river

Welcome to '5 in 5' where on the 5th of

each month I post 5 photos that I have

taken in 5 minutes.

In my last post here I wrote about how I took part in a video interview. This took place in one of my favourite locations and after the filming was complete I decided to give myself some quiet time to reflect. I sat by the river for a few minutes then decided this was a good time to take some photos for '5 in 5'. Come join me:

This bridge provided the backdrop of the filming. The metal construction is not elegant, but this narrow bridge has stood the test of time and has needed strengthening to carry todays traffic.  

 

This old granary mill stands at the mouth of the river. At the top is a tea room, I could sit here all day looking out of the window at the winding river. If only I had time.... (sigh).

And as a lover of boats and water I am at my happiest here. Boats come and go, and every year there is a raft race with much mayhem!

On the bank I found cowslips. A treat for the eye and not often seen, sadly.

I went home with a big smile inside, feeling a sense of achievement and peace. I wonder what gives you this feeling?

Thank you for visiting, and to Eileen, Melanie, Miriam, Maggie, Barbara, Karen and Borqna for joining in last month. It is always lovely to have company and if you feel inspired to take part yourself here is what you do:

1.  Choose a location.
2.  Have your camera ready.
3.  Set a timer for 5 minutes (I use my mobile phone).
4.  Take as many photos you can until the time is up.
5.  Choose 5 photos to download and share by using the link tool below. 

   Please note:

You have until the 25th of the month to add your photos to the link and you can take  your photos any time. They do not have to be taken or posted on 5th!
