We had a wonderful walk round Corstorphine Hill in Edinburgh today. The weather was very springlike though changeable, windy with the occasional flurry of rain but mostly bright and clear. The trees are still only in bud, though there are some fine displays of catkins and the birds are definitely in spring mood! We saw bullfinches, chaffinches, goldfinches, song thrushes, robins, blackbirds, blue tits, great tits and coal tits. We also had a very good view of a low flying buzzard that swept across the sky above our heads.
The path in that photo looks as though it too is springing to life to welcome the sun...
ReplyDeleteThe shadow from the fence nicely delineates the path below. A place to gather your thoughts during a walk in the changeable weather conditions. The steps winding around the corner are great, a nice mix of angles and arcs. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteIt seems like a very beautiful and peaceful place to me. Nice shadows!
ReplyDeleteI think my favourite shadow shots are those with trees!
ReplyDeleteWhat great shadows! Would have been a lovely place for a walk.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds lovely, and looks very interesting too from the photo! Your new banner photo is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteIt looks cold, but bits of spring are peeking around every corner, soon Spring will be in full force!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing the walk with me! What a lovely path and how wonderful to have heard and seen such a nice variety of birds.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shot.
Really nice! Love the way the shadow changes with the various levels below it.
ReplyDeleteLovely shadows across the path in your photo! I've enjoyed catching up on your more recent posts this afternoon. Kudos on your book ... it looks wonderful ;-)
ReplyDeleteHugs and blessings,
This great Shadow Shot makes me want to wander that path with my dogs and sweetie!
ReplyDeleteI like the shadow it stands out against all the naked trees. ^_^

I love this shot, Juliet! The path, and those neat shadows-perfect.
ReplyDeleteWow! I thought this is the Philippine Rice Terraces §;-)
ReplyDeleteWith a second look, it's a wrought iron fence? Gorgeous!
Happy SS...
That is a lovely pathway with many nice shadows. Wonderful place to see birds and enjoy nature.
ReplyDeleteooh - not been there since I was taking a break from classes at QM. Saturday was very changeable right enough - must have been a bit chilly up there.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a wonderfully peaceful place to spend an afternoon!
ReplyDeleteI love a walk in the woods! That looks and sounds like the perfect place for regular photowalks.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting. Warm greetings from Florida!
