Ducking & Diving !

A filler today I'm afraid. I took a few photos around & about the Royal Preston Hospital where I am spending my afternoons this week chauffeuring someone whose husband is in there. I didn't think they were interesting enough to put on my main album, this was taken the other day when I walked by the canal.

I love these bright colours, barges are so photogenic I think. Poor ducks.

I love this, Pat! And I think that it's very interesting . . espcecally the different boats at the dock. Great colors and lighting.

I like this - there's so much to look at in here. very colorful!

[Matt Clendon]

It looks like a cheerful day along the canal. I like the bright colours. I think it's what we need after a monochrome January.

It's lovely Pat. So nice of you to be a part time taxi driver.

[Jennifer Jones]

Lots to see in this - I like the way you've caught the duck in the middle having a good shake!

[Peggy Sirk]

Such a charming composition with the ducks and that marvelous collection of boats in the background! So good of you to help out your friend, Pat!

[Judith Greenwood]

I don't remember there being much around the Royal Preston other than a nice Booths! This has lovely colours in it! You must be packing soon!

great canal shot Pat. Did the ducks do a weird standing on one leg with the other up in the air like a ballet arabesque pose? The ducks were behaving very strangely on Saturday whilst standing on the ice...I should get the shots out and post one...amused me highly!

@judithg Just got the case out of the attic today Judith ...I am determined to go light this time !!!! You are off to Marakesh I believe , that sounds wonderful !!! Lots of time to practise with new camera !!!!

[Pat Knowles]

@sparkle They are very funny to watch Juliette. Most of them were under the bridge where the was no ice but they were al ducking , diving & sliding about !

Lovely shot.

[Margaret Gozzard]

oh it does look cold nicely shot

[Barb Smith]

Great colors! Don't you just love how determined those ducks are to keep a bit of water open? And then the others stand around on the ice. Makes me cold just looking at it.

Absolutely beautiful!

A fave Pat - love the colours and the activity in this one. So much to look at. You're lovely lending your time to your friend. Hope the patient is recovering.
