today: late afternoon sun breaking through

today: late afternoon sun breaking through the forest and a golden-hued Corcoran with white cap.

Park walk this morning. Lots more purple jacaranda petals dropped after last night's rain.

The thing about physical activity is that the more you do it, the more of it you want to do.

Getting started is the key.

Catching the train home on Friday afternoon. It's been a day of sunshine and showers but quite a good day for a walk.

Across Hamble Common and along the shore to the country park on Friday afternoon. A long break there with a cup of tea before catching the train home.

The sun's come out for me at Hamble Quay on Friday. It stayed sunny while I sat by the river for half an hour. Very pleasant.

Arriving at Hamble Quay on Friday. Light rain since Sholing and a heavier shower for a few minutes just before I got here.

The view from Itchen Bridge on Friday's walk. Dark clouds heading my way but dry for now.

Crossing the river Itchen on Northam Bridge near the start of Friday's walk to Hamble and Netley. Rain not far away.

I took these today......this is the last of them (I promise)

Did a screenshot on first 3 to frame.

I wander'd lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er graves and tombs
When all at once I saw a crowd
A host of grey and white mushrooms

Grnes Band sehr herbstlich bei Fisselregen, damit man auch ja nicht auf die Idee kommt, trocken bleiben zu knnen

Laisser la fatigue s'vaporer...

Walked down to the river today to relax.

Wednesday's walk part two, from Hamble Quay to Hamble Point and along the shore to the Royal Victoria Country Park. The stream across the beach near Netley Sailing Club has cut a much deeper channel than usual following overnight rain.

A coffee break at Hamble Quay on Wednesday and the sun's coming out after a light shower. Nice to be able to relax here. Traffic chaos this morning where I live because of flooding.

Wednesday's walk to Hamble. The stream along Shoreburs Greenway near Miller's Pond, swollen by last night's torrential rain. Miller's Pond and its surroundings, dark and damp, devoid of waterfowl.

Sunnier looking back.

Beach walk today. The strap of my canvas bag thrummed with the force of the wind as i walked along.

I've long wondered if my 2-mile morning walk on the bike path was actually that long. This morning, I measured it via my AllTrails app & was shocked. It was 2.2 miles& I walked it in 31 minutes. Not bad for 64.

*This picture is from earlier in October a few years ago. More of our leaves have fallen now & snow is predicted for tonight.

A poppy flower! On Oct 24th!! More from my autumn walk:

Tree shadows on the pathway.

On my walk, saw an older guy in a bright yellow t-shirt walking towards me who seemed at first to be talking on the phone - a pretty common thing these days.

As he came closer, realised he was happily singing to himself as he walked along. No idea what the tune was. Loved that he was doing that. An absolute delight!

Park walking this morning. Love the old-fashioned rotunda. Used to play there as a kid.

Double rainbow!

The wind direction on Monday meant it was sheltered along Hamble Shore. Good for walking. More often the not the wind here is in my face and from the north.

Spot the odd one out on Hamble Shore on Monday afternoon. The winter visitors are beginning to arrive. The crows are here all year.

Across Hamble Common to Hamble Point on Monday afternoon. The cattle will soon be leaving us for the winter. It looks like they're ready to go.

A cold wind coming across the river at Hamble Quay on Monday. Sat for a while with a coffee but moved on as soon as it was finished.
