The Willows of Watermead by

Watermead Park is a Nature Reserve very close to Leicester. The willows are beautiful at the moment, and on this slightly overcast, breezy day were a sight to behold dancing across the water. They look so wonderful to my eyes, just like ballerinas skirts with the same lightness and flow.
I felt that a watercolour medium would suit the scene.

About almaalice

I am 70 years young, and getting younger thanks to the new skills I am learning from the wonderful red bubble community. I came here as a competent photographer, no more, and discovered all the joys of manipulation. I now work for hours creating unique images from my photographs and then submit them for the never failing kind comments from the wonderful friends I have met on red bubble.

    Beautiful scene and treatment, Alma. Love the mood and composition.

  • Thank you for this lovely comment and for the fave Bev, I really do appreciate them both. At the same park I saw a grass snake swimming across the lake, something I have never seen before in all my 70 years. Alma x
