The canal was frozen! Chunks of ice were floating over large parts of the water and some sections were frozen solid. Not solid enough for even ducks to walk on, though. Certainly nowhere near as solid as it was the last two winters, but it offered some nice photo opportunities.
The cygnets are growing up now!
It was a beautiful clear day and the light was wonderful by the time we got to the Water of Leith.
The sunset was particularly beautiful.

Lovely pix, indeed, and, funny you mentioned the Union Canal, your post brought me back immediately to a dear friend closely associated with its renovation, Stanley Ross-Smith, who used to accompany his lady wife, June, to our Westside Writers Group here. What a wonderful man!
