This morning's walk through the park was a little chilly. It was -11C and snowing. My hands were frozen but I loved every minute of it! ❄️🧡
One tree still has most of its leaves. It is a yellow/orange colour and is in front of a weeping willow. The creek is flowing through the park and there is a dusting of snow on the ground.

I have posted this photo before but it fits perfectly with today's #BirdOfTheDay theme #StandingOnThings.
#Photography #EastCoastKin
There are 14 posts lined up across a small lake and there is a bird perched on each one of them. The surrounding trees and shrubs are reflected in the water.

Golden hour before the day ends.

Above the city lights, the evening sun has turned most of the clouds a golden colour. Through the middle is a stormy dark cloud which is grey. Two flags, on tall flagpoles, are fluttering in the wind above the horizon.

There are still a few leaves hanging on this morning.
#Photography #Autumn #YellowThu #EastCoastKin
The trees are almost bare and the grass underneath is covered with fallen leaves. The creek quiety flows past. In the distance the grass is green and a pathway winds its way through the park.

A thick layer of snow is covers the ground of the gardens. A gazebo is in the middle of the photo and parts of its red roof are visible under the snow. The sunrise has turned the sky into stripes of gold, orange, and grey.

A pretty side street in Old Town Nice. The Old Town is a maze of narrow streets, shops, bars & restaurants.

This heron seems to be contemplating whether to move or just stay put. He's been standing there for ages! 😀

I'm not a bird photographer but I do have a photo of #Pigeons for today's #BirdOfTheDay. This was taken in St. James's Park in London and they appear to be having a meeting of some kind. 😀
#Photography #EastCoastKin
There are hundreds of pigeons on the bank of the lake in St. James's Park. Most of them are standing on the ground but others are in a tree or sitting on top of a metal fence along the pathway.
