Water crowfoot felt ball installation.

You may already be familiar my felt ball project - if not click here. The summer before Storm Desmond I had been to Smardale and seen a fantastic display of water crowfoot. I subsequently made a felt ball, but when we returned the year after to photograph the ball in situ Storm Desmond had ripped all the crowfoot out. This year was the first year we have seen the crowfoot back there....not much but enough! Photography wasn't easy, but at least I'd taken flip flops and a towel so I could paddle - I ended up sitting in the beck to take the photos, which was very cooling on an extremely hot day!
