Watery Wednesday: The Braid River

The last of my autumn pictures from the Hermitage of Braid; as nice as it is, I probably won't be back until winter is well settled in.

More watery shots can be found here, at the home of this meme!

A study in brown/feather down

I can't quite remember where I was when I took these photographs - it was possibly the Botanic Gardens, where brown is in fashion just now:

Autumn Along the Wall

This is the Antonine Wall and ditch near Falkirk:

The Roman legions - much as I like to romanticise them - deforested much of the area around their wall. But it is all over autumn now; trees and leaves, mud and roots.

And with this post I'd like to thank The Wildlife Gardener for awarding the "One Lovely Blog" award to my blog! Please do pay a visit to her delightful wildlife haven!

A bit of an overdose of autumnal pictures today as I won't be online at all this weekend :)

It is a wet day (in a good way) everyday at the home of this meme!

I was quite taken by these brilliant orange frogs; they made my visit to the aquarium this weekend worthwhile:
