5 in 5 | A Quick Trip to the Marina

I'm joining in with Sandie's 5 in 5 monthly link up. 

This is how the monthly challenge works:

1. Choose a location

2. Have your camera ready

3. Set a mobile timer for 5 minutes

4. Take as many photos as you can until the time is up

5. Choose 5 of those photos to share via the link on Sandie's blog on the 5th of the month

The marina is about five minutes walk from my home, in the opposite direction from the pathways in this post. When you get to The Slipway you have the choice of turning down one of the access paths on the right which take you to the canal towpath but I'll save that for another post. If you carry straight on or take one of the pathways on the left you will very quickly arrive at the marina.

I was surprised to see so many narrowboats - it's rather crowded at the moment  

... due in part to the fact that many of the hire boats are still at their winter moorings. I was expecting them to have been moved out and moored along the canal by now.

There were no sign of the swan family, which is what I was hoping to photograph, but there were some ducks.

So I'll leave you with a couple of shots of the ducks. 

Many thanks to Sandie for organising the monthly link up.

Yesterday's trip to The Hall was a huge success but it deserves its own post, hopefully next week.
