WEEKEND REFLECTIONS AND THE WEEKEND ROUNDUP

Time for Weekend Reflections and The Weekend Roundup and this week it is the letter E and Enormous and once again this is a one image post with hopefully everything covered. These are EIGHT ENORMOUS ELEGANT swans and in the winter time are parked against the EDGE of this pool.  You might be able to see that one swan has the number EIGHT and I know you can definitely see all the REFLECTIONS Behind is the restaurant where people come and EAT.

Tomorrow I will show you some more images I took that morning on  my early morning walk. 

Many thanks for your visit and also your comments.

SATURDAY CRITTERS

These are Pale - bellied Brent Geese and there are 30,000 of them that winter in Northern Ireland.  Usually we see them on the water but perhaps they fancies a little change of diet!  I photographed these at dawn on one of my early walks.

WEEKEND REFLECTIONS AND THE WEEKEND ROUNDUP

Time for Weekend Reflections and The Weekend Roundup and the letter is D and Dark. Jon DROVE the whole family when it was nearly DARK into Cairns Central to go up on the big wheel called the Reef Eye.  By the time we arrived, it was very DARK and the lights of the wheel stood against the DARK sky. 

Above is not a very good REFLECTION shot, however as we are going round in the wheel ourselves, this is the wheel’s REFLECTION in the windows of the building opposite us.

Below in the pod, is my DAUGHTER Judith with a DARK blue top on.  We are holding on the central column and then we could spin the pod around as we moved. 

Next Friday I am hoping to have one  image to cover all that is asked of these 2 memes.
