Walking the Essex way

Its been a wile that I've visited my blog. Have been a little busy doing other things< but still walking and taking photographs...
But not today its raining quite heavy the wind  strong to. Yesterday My friend Paula and I walked to the gravel works, being bank holiday Monday we were able to walk to the men made lake, due to the extraction of gravel the lake was the end result.

We walked right by its edge, the waters so clear, a lot of plants is taking hold  beautiful to see so many different types of wild flowers and the geese and swans, its just like an oasis in the desert...
