Since Farmleigh will close at the end of the month, when today dawned bright and sunny (and frosty) with blue skies we thought we'd try to fit in a trip there this morning. But the car wouldn't start, and rather than spend a long time trying, we went for a walk along the canal instead. It hasn't done my cold any good, but it was better than staying indoors on such a glorious morning. The strange thing is that when C got the battery charger out and tried the car once more before connecting it up, it started perfectly first time and doesn't appear to need charging at all. Maybe we'll get to Farmleigh tomorrow if the good forecast holds. Maybe we just weren't meant to go to Farmleigh today.

Bolts and Braces - a new railway bridge
Man was this horse hungry - I was waiting a long time for it to raise its head
Just for fun - ghost bird
We're still trying to identify that bird - I do have a better picture for ID purposes, but this was just as it flew off. We had a delightful time watching a whole bunch of long-tailed tits flitting around (the first time C has seen any in years), but this bird was too big for that, too long and blocky a tail to be a sparrow, too big for a wagtail, not yellow enough for a grey wagtail. A mystery bird, all in all.
Isn't it a most glorious time of year. There's so much color to be found. I keep forgetting my good camera in the morning as the view on the way to work is spectacular in the sun. You've managed to get some great photos. That bird picture is amazing - the bird itself is something but you snapped it so perfectly framed within those lines. Wow!
ReplyDeleteI love your reflections photo. Gorgeous colors.
