My World (12)

Continuing our walk along Granthams Canal - Taking in the plant life - A little rest - leaning on the fence and just gazing around -


Until we reach the Watering Hole - The Dirty Duck. We take our pint outside and watch -






The graceful swans on the Canal.




Grantham Canal to be continued at a later date. - Next week - we visit Belvoir Castle for an outside concert with Catherine Jenkins.... so hope to see you all there?.


My world and Skywatch - Goes hand in hand.


The Team = Klaus - Sandy - Ivar - Wren - Fishing Guy - Louise.

I'm enjoying the walk around the canal but it'll be fun to take a short break and visit a castle next week.

Now that's a lovely walk culminating in a little time at the pub. The Dirty Duck is a fine name for such establishment I believe. Out here, there is a Mallard Room, which is a watering hole as well. Now why are these establishments named after ducks?????

A nest place to walk. Very relaxing. Thank you for sharing.

From one duck to another ... I think you win, though - mine didn't have a liquor license.

The fluff of a cattail brings warmth in the midst of winter. Thanks for bringing us along on your stroll through Nature.

You're feeding us one worm at a time! They are pretty good worms though so we always come back for more. The first is just yummy.

Sandra said...

So many beautiful photos, but the swan is definitely the best!
