We are about halfway through Autumn (01 Sep to 21 Dec). The vegetation is starting to turn. It is that which has drawn members of the Gosport Camera Club out for a Sunday Morning walk.
Today’s expedition is Swanbourne Lake. Quite often, lakes like this are the resuly of quarrying, typically for gravel. But Swanbourne Lake appears to be natural. There are mentions of a lake in the area from the date of the Norman Conquest.
Surrounded as it is by hills, covered in trees, many of which are starting to assume their autumnal colours. I think it hasn’t quite reached its full glory, so perhaps we were a little bit early. But I am really glad we came.
As is usually the case we ended up at a pub, which had a surprisingly large collection of alcohol free beer – usually it’s only one or two, this pub had half a dozen, which was very nice.
We thoroughly enjoyed the morning.
