Lovely weather for this week's walk along the Water of Leith on Monday. Lots of birds too, including large numbers of redwings hiding in the shrubbery and a large flock of long tailed tits flitting amongst the bare branches of the trees, looking like animated musical notes. Dippers and a heron on the river. Also a kestrel being mobbed by a crow. Several grey squirrels leaping amongst the trees. It was a lovely day for photos too, clear and sunny......
for Weekend Reflections and Shadow Shot Sunday. There are also some nice reflections in the photo in this post.
Beautiful! It's wonderful to see the seasons change in your part of the world.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! We've had some beautifully sunny days here also, but they have been a bit windy. Have really enjoyed seeing the sun. We know it will disappear for awhile...never to be seen for several months!
ReplyDeleteIdeal.
ReplyDeleteVery romantic post!I loved the path and the reflection, you can think about poetry in this adorable place!
ReplyDeletepurrs, love and Happy weekend reflections
Luna
Beautiful pictures, loved the reflection in the water
ReplyDeleteVery nice reflection is a pool of leaves :-)
ReplyDeleteI love long-tailed tits - they sound so perky as they work their way along the hedgerow. Lately we are beginning to see them on our birdtable, which is a new and quite exciting development.
ReplyDeleteI love that pool! Great photo, Juliet.
ReplyDeleteJuliet, the reflection is colorful! Love it! :)
ReplyDeleteI like the reflection but that top photo is truly outstanding.
ReplyDeleteSometimes it pays off to look down, up or around.
ReplyDelete2nd photo looks like the shape of an upside down heart.
ReplyDeleteI love how everyone has a different view of the world. My very first thought was, "very cool ~ an upside down heart". I assumed everyone else would have seen and commented on it. Hmmmmmm.....guess I'm just looking for love in all the watery places.
ReplyDeleteNice work :-)
Weekend Reflection ~ Evening Canals
Herons and Puffins feel like y family birds, just like elephant seems o be the family animal... We all love them so much.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures.
Amazing where reflections can be found!
ReplyDeleteA visited reflection! How nice!
ReplyDeleteThat is a lovely reflection in your Water of Leith. I love all the overhanging greenery and the scattering of autumn leaves. I think I would have loved the musty smell of the earth while taking the photograph.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Love the shadows on the bridge and the pond/puddle reflection - the colours!
ReplyDeletegreat photo
ReplyDeletegood w end
That pathway looks so inviting and I love the colors reflected in the water!
ReplyDeleteLovely atmosphere.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful place and reflection. :)

ReplyDeleteHello
ReplyDeleteLovely! I always enjoy seeing the seasons change in your blog!!
I like the pretty pond in the second photo very much!
Here tree leaves have turned blazing red now!!
What a lovely spot ... most inviting! Beautiful reflection ;-)
ReplyDeleteHugs and blessings,
It looks like you could jump into that puddle into another world!
ReplyDeleteLovely!
A great shadow shot as well! Looks like a great path for a walk.
Oh I miss the beauty....snow has arrived and we are now looking at a totally different color palet.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful series of photos!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely creation! The reflection on the water is very colorful, looks like a glass prism!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
Aaaah, lovely! Wish I could take a nice long walk here.
ReplyDeleteWow, do I spy blue sky? That second shot is gorgeous, very impressive to make a puddle pretty! London is so, so wet that I haven't ventured outside this week and have chosen old pictures. Even our car is flooded!
ReplyDeleteBoth the shadows and the reflections are magic.
ReplyDeleteWhat marvelous shots for the day! I love the reflections! And the shadows on the bridge are terrific! Isn't it wonderful to have enough sun to find shadows everywhere? We're having a day like that today!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your weekend!
Sylvia

ReplyDeleteWhat great photos these are my friend. :) Well done and such a good reflection :) Love it. Have a wonderful weekend :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful winter walk - such an air of serentity about these shots
ReplyDeleteThe shadow along the path is wonderful - the railing shadow emphasizes following the path. As if it is telling us that if we do not stray from the trail, we will be rewarded with so many views of beautiful avian species. What a lovely place to forget about the mundane and trials of our lives.A place of beauty...
ReplyDeletewhat a nice place to walk. very nice photos.
ReplyDeletepaz
