By early afternoon, the sun had come out again so I grabbed the camera and headed off for Bushy Park - the wind was still a gale so I headed for the Woodland gardens for some shelter.
Unintentionally, the camera setting was on Black & White which I noticed after I'd taken this picture!! It's "different"!
The Red Deer are more relaxed now the rut is over although the males are still with the females. I suspect before long, the males will be on their own again.
Needless to say, the gulls were posing as normal whilst trying to catch the bread thrown up by children.
(for Paul :) )
Not much after that as the sun was covered again by grey cloud so I headed off home. So a quiet afternoon..

You did get some lovely photos as you ventured out between storms! Hope you stay warm and dry.
Thats a lovely B&W shot Tricia. Always worth taking such such shots as they provide a different perspective.
It was a day that those call a wet one. You were lucky to find enough sun to get photos. Yours are quite splendid.
Hi Tricia,
I guess we are all in these gloomy days, but you managed to get a nice set of pictures there. Congrats, I've been trying to do so too, but was unsuccessful!
Didn't that rain come down Tricia! I like the black and white squirrel, I might try that out.
Lovely set of images in-between the stormy weather Tricia. B&W is definitely underated..we should try more of these. FAB
You take such marvelous pictures. The autumn colours in the backgrounds of some of the photos are wonderful.
Sun? Blue sky? What are they?!!
Great photos again Tricia, love the Cygnet.
Great shots of the gulls in flight and I love the male Mallard peering intently in to the water.
Lovely pics Tricia, particularly the black and white squirrel!!! Lovely x
Tricia, your blog is lovely. Nice pics and very good technically too. Keep up the good work. I don't know how you find time to do it all!! Best wishes.
