You don't need to go to the ends of the earth, you don't need to climb Everest to have a great adventure, it's invariably on our doorstep.
This is a wonderful saying by Bear Grylls.
We tend to forget the beauty that is on our doorstep because we are so used to seeing it everyday.
In the UK the season after summer is called Autumn, however, there are many countries that call it The Fall!
What do you or what does your country call it?
One thing about Autumn though, is that I forget just how colourful it can be.
Let's get our shoes on and go out and about...
This was our weather yesterday in the East of Scotland, a fine autumnal day.
Being from the UK, we take our buildings for granted, this is a typical detached house with a garage just beside the park.
Our buildings are generally built to withstand the weather, I think some other countries should do the same.
Do you see the hedge?
The most adorable wee Magpie was strutting along the top of the hedge showing me the way to the Park!
Well, I was going to the Park anyway, as earier yesterday morning Amazon delivered my monthly supply of duck and swan food.
The Park has many entranaces, and the entrance we took brings us right beside the rugby club.
I tell you what, I am writing this at 9.32 on Wednesday morning and the fluffing heavens have opened!
We were lucky to have this walk done yesterday for you to see!
Rugby, now that is a mans game! Although since I played at school they now have some padding they wear.
The grass is looking great though, come winter time it will be a diffent story. Not as much grass but no much in the way of weed either, just mud lol!
Have you ever played rubgy?
Trees, trees and more trees is what @eylz619 wanted me to give her.
So yes, there will be a few trees here and there as we walk past them. Green leaves, yellow leaves, no leaves, red leaves, fallen leaves all sorts of leaves!
Back to the rugby tho...
Rugby players were the perfect example of the work hard, play harder mentality.
Many a beer was drunk and mischief @balikis95 created in the rugby clubhouse after the match.
Nowadays modern professional rugby players, they are built like Superheroes!
Right time to hit the water!
I must admit that when you start to look at the trees, the bushes, the shrubs and the scenery from an outsiders pov the colours, well the colours they really are gorgeous!
Where are the birds?
Don't worry they are never far away ...
Lead on then... you might want to cover your ears at this point !!!
Did you hear them?
Did you fluffing hear them!!!
Did you see that their bills are open?
Pomerian ducks are the noisiest ducks that I have ever heard. Dafty duck was so noisy, but all his cousins are just like him.
Yes, they are noisy with a capital N!
It is cute though, perhaps I should do a 3speak video one day!
Word soon went out and it was party time!
The gull wanted to get out of the way of the pies that were steaming in!
We have more to walk so let's leave them all be and go walk to the exit.
Popping via the fountain garden.
I was pleasantly surprised to see that even though we are almost into November ...
I got to think of @dswigle and #alwaysaflower and I think that these are Begonias Denise?
Bonnie though, is what they are!
Talking about Denise I had to buy some bread, and there is an Aldi near the park, so will head there. I didn't take enough pictures for a #marketfriday post though...
Remember I said taking our buildings for granted, this is the park gatehouse.
Yes there are two lions that guard the park, and this always reminds me of Leo Finance.
I shall leave this post now, as there is quite a lot more to see outwith the park and we shall do that in part 2!
This walk made me smile and I hope it did you too and the post is for both

We say Autumn and Fall here in the US, but, you probably already know that. In New England, I think more called it Autumn (or perhaps the Catholic School I attended, you know nuns can be so proper!) Anywho, my kids call it Autumn too (darn it! it was their Catholic school too!) But, the thing is, no matter where you are in the world, they know what you are talking about!
I know exactly what you mean about taking things for granted or not seeing what is in front of you. The scene becomes invisible as you already know what is there. I try really hard to NOT do that because it is a bad habit and you miss so much in life that way.
Those ducks are noisy!! Land sakes! You have quite the stocked pond ! :)
Yes, Ed! Those are begonias! :) I hope you are having a great day!
Oh so you are of the Autumn persuasion. How intersting, I find it fascinating how within families some will call it Fall and some will call it Autumn.
Woohoo I thought they were begonias, and they are ever so noisy the Pomerian ducks, but every so funny at the same time.
The day has been great, now watching a European football match that my team is going to get absolutely hammered in 🤣🤣🤣
Hehe :) A few Hail Mary;s may help~
lmao oh no, the opposing team is Napoli and their Hail Mary's are working as they are winning 2-0 already 🤣🤣🤣
If i'ts Napoli, only a fool would wager a win!
jeje and it looks like Napoli will be one of the favourites to win the cup this year.
They are awesome at the moment!
THEY ARE!!!! Learn to swing with the right team, ED! :) @tengolotodo
Haha I remember Kuya,you blog about a castle one time and I was so delighted to see as we don't have that here😂. And you said there were a lot of in your place😅😂.
Perhaps you can walk us around next time?
Did I forgot Dafty? Cause seems her color was different now?😂
ah a castle, I guess I need to walk you round some places, that would be so much fun to do for real and not just virtually, pero inday I shall see what I can do for you
No you didn't forget Dafty, he was basically all black with just a little bit of white, these are his cousins. Dafty I have not seen for many months.
Haha if Scotland is not that far for sure I didn't miss the chance to visit your country and explore castle😆.
We have here a castle like abandon disneyland in the philippines
Was supposed to be an amusement park but the owner runs out of budget.
I and I thought I forget her😆, yeah they were realy noisy😂.
hehe yeah I know, it would be fun!
Oh no, maybe you can buy that castle and make the amusement park inday!
What a great walk, Super Ed!
I love the colors of Autumn, although there is none of that here hehe, just tropical sunshine.
Nice that you saw Dafty's cousins, and well, I was hoping for some chismis about the pies, but as far as I can see not much to tell, right?
Happy Wednesday!
Happy Wednesday Super Eli,
These are two sensible pie children, they are still not fully filled out so are not as bossy with the gulls as they should be.
The ducks though, yes they are so darn noisy!
I know tropical sunshine, just get me jealous why don't you!
So those poor pies didn't get to eat because of the seagulls? :(
I like the tropical sunshine, hehe but I really love autumn. When I could take holidays at any time of the year and travel, I used to choose autumn to do it ;)
It was more some of the ducks did not get much, as the gulls took over. The pies got theirs though.
Oh that was good, take your holidays in Autumn and why not if you could.
Hehe...I love the rugby game as it allowed me to display my secret act of mischief😂😂. And the pictures taken got me in awe, gosh I feel like hugging them all, the swans, birds, and the waters showed warm my heart and put me in that mood of you know what to people🤣🤣.
Oh I knew you would love the rugby nad have a chance to bring out your michief game 🤣🤣🤣
Yeah I love the birds, always so friendly they are...
Hehe.. I love weird things and things that put me in the game and it is an interesting one😍😍
Oh do you, we are similar then 🤣🤣
Yes we are 😜😜
Mad as hatters 🤣
💃💃💃💃
Some really colorful and beautiful scenes you shared here with us!
That is very true indeed.
Yes, we also call it Autumn here in South Africa.
Thank you for taking us along on your walk before the heavens opened up, Ed!
Have a great day👍!
Thanks Jaco.
This time of year, we never know what weather we will have in the next five minutes!
Oh okay you say AUtumn too, that is good to know:)
Enjoy the day!
...like having all 4 seasons in 1 day...lol?
Enjoy your day too, Ed👍!
hehe yes exactly and thank you :)
What amazing photographs you have taken on your walk. Autumn sure is a beautiful time of the year but not entirely looking forward to winter,
Thanks Christine, no neither am I, mind you now with climate change, we don't know how severe a winter it will be!
Yes - one can only hope - I don't like severe weather - hot or cold @tengolotodo
The extremes yes, well they can't be too extreme right enough!
I love the views most specially the river. It seems it's a good place to ride a boat while fishing. 😊
!1UP
ah the river is actually a local pond and they banned fishing!
Thanks for the curation:)
Ohh see. That's kindna sad. But I guess it's still a relaxing spot to sit and enjoy watching the birds. :)
yeah it is a big park, but that is my favourite part, it does relax me.
Beautiful walk this must have been because it was for me albeit virtually :) Autumn colors are always picturesque although we don't have such a season here. Would be cool to hear how noisy those Pomeranian ducks are :)
!LUV
It was actually CJ, when we do things through the eyes of strangers or aliens as the Americans would say, then it opens up the beauty that is on our doorstep!
Yes the ducks, I should start making some wee videos of them
@ifarmgirl(2/3) gave you LUV.
