A short walk along this short stretch of the old Bardsley Canal reveals much greenery on the surface. 'Yellow water-lily. Scientific name: Nuphar lutea. Look for the Yellow water-lily in still and slow-moving water, such as ponds, ditches, lakes and canals. Its lily pads and cupped, yellow flowers float at the water's surface.' (The Wildlife Trustswww.wildlifetrusts.org )

As we here in England take the first steps to normalisation in this C19 lockdown, we get natures reply. Taken on a recent isolation exercise walk, this is along a place I know as ‘Roger Rocks’. In reality it is part of the larger Country Park area called ‘Park-Bridge’ in Ashton-under-Lyne. Running down the centre of the photo from left to right is the River Medlock, almost in draught condition. Of course the colours and verdant wild-flowers of late May in this beautiful lighting attracted me to this. As usual best view full screen on black.
