WEEKEND REFLECTIONS - Bird Group Walk to Helen'sTower (Part 2)

This post is following on from part 1 of yesterday’s post. CLICK HERE for a full understanding for some of today’s shots.   I am continuing with my bird group on a very foggy morning as we walk to Helen’s Tower.  I don't really think I need any more explanation on any of the shots so enjoy the reflections you see in most of the photographs.  



Some of my bird class.  We always have great fun and 
very often learn something from each other.























I hope you did enjoy the beauty of nature we saw on this walk.  

I am linking this post with WEEKEND REFLECTIONS

Thank you for visiting and also many thanks for all those who leave comments on any of my posts. 

Even though Eileen's computer isn't fixed to host Saturday's Critters tomorrow, I will be showing you MEERKATS.

  2. Next time you get the Bird Group ask them to dip their toes in the puddle and then crouch down. It's a good shot but could have been a great one.

    Take some kitchen roll out next time. I was having my breakfast when I saw all that snot. Those horses must have a duct blocked, cheap seedy hay does that.
    I'm not squeamish but I was hungry and the porridge wasn't cooked quite long enough. Looked like poorly horse eye snot. I ate it but can't say I found it enjoyable......You weren't to know so it's not your fault.

    1. HI Adrian Yes I really needed a tissue although I really don't think the horse would have let me wipe his eye! . Have a great weekend.

  3. Hi Margaret, looks like a fun group but a real "bird" group would all stand on one leg. LOL Maybe you can get them to try it for fun. I love all the berries, will the birds eat them, or other animals? Have a great day.Here's hoping the fog lifts.

    1. HI Carol Now I will tell them what you said. You never know them might do it for me the next time we are out!! Three of them are over 80 years old so i think they are great. Thanks for you comment. Have a great weekend.

  7. Grand photos Margaret. Those close ups of the horse are marvelous, great reflections and I loved the back view of the swan with so much detail of its spread feathers. The mottled colored swans were very pretty also and your first shot was very artsy.

  8. A very entertaining series of images. Your bird group makes a good reason to be out there enjoying the birds, but also getting some interesting shots.

    1. HI Janice I was as close as the horse would let me. Of course it moves away a lot, so I had to be patient although not too long as my class was waiting for me!!! Have a great weekend.

  18. All the serie is great, but I'm so fond of the first one : I find the composition formed by those drops quite amazing, Margaret.

  19. Wonderful! Your reflections in pictures two and three are gorgeous! What is that in the first picture, and is it a reflection? It is so pretty and mysterious. Number six may be my favorite, it is just BEAUTIFUL and I love it. The reflection inside the eye (SO hard to do!) and the beautiful leaf are my next favorites. Just sheer beauty today...
