Default The most beautiful late autumn day ...

..was this Tuesday morning .. I awoke to the sun streaming in through the bedroom window, and it was mild too, very mild ... so I took
the camera and got these late autumn shots down by the canal ..hope you like :-)

The swans were further up but they came down by the lock ..when they have young they normally hiss but they let me get in real close
for a few piccies :-)

I just can't get over how much your locale looks likeit's straight out of afairy tale Jules. I'd kill for a mild day like that right now. The leaves over here are all gone and it's about 22 degrees and snowing. [:@]

Beautiful pics Jules. You never let us down.

Is that a chipper/shredder on that one barge?...lol

Well its set to get much colder here in the UK this weekend ..that day was just one of those perfect autumn days and I doubt I will see that again now .. once winter sets in I am kinda hoping for a bit of snow because when it snows here it really is fairy tale :-)

Heres a closer view of that British waterways work boat for you :-)


Jules


The length of these things is amazing!!

Boy, working a chipper/shredder is dangerous enough without doing it on a rocking and swaying boat. That makes it official. All of you Brits aretotally crackers!!

Lovely pics again Jules.. a very nice time of year , till it turns cold
Thank you Steve ..but I like the seasons here, I would hate stinking hot and sweating all the time ..besides when winter sets in there is nothing like a bracing walk in the winter sun then back to my cosy wee cottage to sit in front of a real fire with tea and hot scones and the latest bike magazine ..ah bliss!! :-)

on a side note ...I think you just set a record for the heaviest web page ever miss...
about 7meg of download in one page ... woooooweee ...a biggie

You can help peeps with slower speed connections by reducing the kb's for the web with little effort ..
Sorry Steve I know nothing about computers, I am a photographer and the only bit I know is how to get them off the camera and onto the PC, resize them to 1024 for photobucket ..voila picccies!! :-)
