The flooding has gone down enough for me to resume my walk to work along the river. There was a beautiful sunrise this morning which I just have to share with you all.

Also - Flood water has now dropped almost enough to get back into the park

We are now enjoying a freeze and a dusting of snow. (While most of the rest of the country get enough to call a snowfall.)

View Island has re-emerged from the thames and is nearly accessable.

We have snow here, but it is now being washed away by the rain. :(

Saticon, do you know if that island was once on a program, I don't know whether it was animal hospital or pet rescue, but there was a donkey stuck on it and they had to get it off. It was maybe about a year ago now.
Nice pics again.

LARAMANIAC - I always knew that saying as Shepherds warning. :)
Jeffers - I can't recall a donkey ever being on that island. When I was a kid, it was a public park, then it became a private marina for many years and only recently re-opened to the public as a nature reserve. Of course, there are many small islands in the Thames and I'm sure there are more than one called View Island. :)
Love the pics, Staticon! The sunrise is gorgeous!! http://www.imagemagician.com/images/rook/Smileys/tup.gif

Wonderful pix.
Though there really isn't enough snow there to shake a shovel at.
Yep, it's sailors alright. Unless you live in Kansas.
Shepherd or Sailor. Both are acceptable. I've heard it both ways, many times over the years.
The collection grows....

Very stunning Vincent VanStaticon! :p I love the sunrise picture, although I myself prefer sunsets (especially now that it's winter, and we get the most beautiful skies you've ever seen) :)

Beautiful! The one with the half sunken bridge is wonderful!
