Spring

On my walk yesterday with Connie.
This is the River Wyre at high tide.
Not the little brook in the foreground but the water in the background. It almost looks like a road but I did notice a long slick of sand running down the middle of the river.
You can see the daddy duck at the back giving Connie a good ticking off because she barked at them.
The tide was just on the turn, flowing east then as I retraced my footsteps & got back to the Cartford Inn it had turned flowing west towards Blackpool again.

We’ve had a very lazy day. I was out until after 1am last night on a wild goose chase up Jeffrey Hill together with hundreds of others hoping to see the Northern lights……no sign of them! Cloud came over so no chance.

Lydia’s birthday today.
Lovely scene

It does look like a road.. just as well you told us. Bad luck with the Aurora seems it was everywhere but unfortunate with cloud cover..

Yes I thought it was a road - but the water is very muddy in the brook ! No I never saw the Aurora - I did glance out of the window as I went to bed !! ha !! no hopes there was there !!

Lovely scene. We went out to look for the Aurora too, but saw nothing.

What a shame you didn’t see any of the Northern Lights display.

What a shame not to see the northern lights - no wild geese either I presume! Ha ha!

Nice leading lines - I missed the lights too 😔

I did think the river was a road with a centre line!

Nice layers.

We didn't get to see the aurora either. Poured with rain and thick cloud here. Of course, last night was clear but the moment had passed.

Amazing scenery!

I thought it was a road also because of the sandy strip down the center!
We live about 50 miles east of LA and several of our neighbors drove up nearby Mt Baldy and the got some fantastic photos of the Northern lights. I didn’t have the energy to go but loved looking at the photos!

Lovely capture of the little family. Glad you mentioned that we were looking at the river, not a road. Funny how looks can deceive. I missed the lights on Friday here, and Saturday's show didn't really happen. Ah well, it's still on my list.

Sweet! We have had a lot of rain too. I tried again for the lights last night....... still nothing here either!!

Mama duck in front and Daddy Duck following on behind! How very sweet. I'm like all the others thinking that was a road!
