Church Lock Grove Buckinghhamshire and Puttenham Hertfordshire - Frozen Canal

Freezing morning during the clear and cold snap on the last day of November this year.   Two days of this weather had caused the canal to freeze overnight which gave me an opportunity to take some more photographs of the canal, initially at Church Lock at Grove, and a little later at Puttenham Hertfordshire (not to be confused with the Surrey village of that name).
 
The Grand Union Canal at Grove as the sun was beginning to break through the early morning mist.
 
Narrow boats at Puttenham...
 
....with narrow boats awaiting repair.
 
Frost on the cobweb at Grove.

Ice on the canal at Puttenham....

 
... with a Mute Swan finding the conditions challenging as it half slid and crawled to a small patch of open water next to a habitated narrow boat, hoping to be fed.

Finally I spotted these frosty leaves lying on the worn stones by the side of Church Lock.  Reminded me somewhat of Bugs Bunny
