Day 23 - 30 Days Wild - An evening canal walk


* Today's random act of wildness - canal walk *

Day 23 we ventured down the canal which is only 10 minutes from where I live. The time was around 7pm so the light was fading a little. When we got there, there were lots of bull water lilies flowering and lots of insects around. Here's what we discovered on the small stretch of canal we walked...
