Amazing, is that an actual blue sky?

My third return to Nidd Gorge (there was too much rain on the second trip to even take the camera out) was greeted by a wonderful blue sky. Being relatively early I managed to get my first sunburst as the sun edged over the gorge and did not even mind that the exposure is a bit dark. Taking some pictures of the extremely rare blue sky I also tried some initial fungi shots with an obliging fallen log.

You may have noticed that my practice pictures have been a bit light on wildlife of late. The simple reason is that I bought my Canon R10 with the longer 18-150mm kit lens, but unsurprisingly this does not have a fraction of the reach of my old Lumix Bridge camera. Fortunately help will soon be on the way in the form of a Canon RF 100-400mm full frame zoom lens.
