Nice to see the wildlife on your canal tour. Swans like floating islands and that lovely little squirrel in his winter coat. Have a Happy New Year and go easy on the booze, you may see too many squirrels!
I love anything to do with canals and these photos are great. Not a canal I've heard of before, looks a great place to visit. Thanks for sharing your world with us.
I love the swan picture and in years gone past Nigel & I often did barge boat holidays and I particularly loved the locks - nothing beats walking along a canal :) Happy New Year, Judith
So this is what you were up to, instead of helping with the Christmas dinner & washing up afterwards!
ReplyDeleteLooks just perfect for a walk Imac.... nice and flat.. unlike my belly ;o)
ReplyDeleteA place to wander for a photographer - I would have styed out all day.
ReplyDeleteThe swan picture is brilliant.

ReplyDeleteI still remember changing the locks along midland canals, but not such pretty scenes as these.
ReplyDeleteLove the synchronized ducking the swans are displaying. (Er, those are swans, right?)

ReplyDeleteI would love to walk there today. The swans look like part of a synchronized swim team.
ReplyDeleteimac, at first I thought you were photographing a bridge that was sinking in the middle, duh! The ducks' end up is a great catch! :)
ReplyDeleteI didn't mean "end up" I meant "bottoms up," imac! Ha!
ReplyDeleteMaybe they're looking for food :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a funny picture!
The locks look small and quaint, yet a major drop in water level.
ReplyDeleteGreat animal shots.
Thanks for taking us along on your walk. I love the squirrel - so cute!
