a summer punting outing


It had been far too long since we last went punting, and this week has been properly summery (finally!) so several of us met up today to spend a leisurely hour on the river. 









The river isn't much for wildlife (unless you count ridiculous tourists which we passed in plenty, flailing, tangled in trees, and clinging to bridges) but i got to feed chips to the  ducks swimming alongside our punt (as you will see if you look closely at the above picture) and  I saw tiny fuzzy baby ducklings I wanted to kidnap (or, ducknap, I suppose)...


In the background, you can see the old glasshouses of the historic botanical gardens, as well as Magdalen college bell tower. 





Great afternoon on the water- a perfect summer afternoon in Oxford:)

(Thanks to everyone on the outing for sharing these fantastic photos!)
