My wife and I just went for a walk around our local park this evening, and there was some pretty cool cloud formations above the city, casting some nice reflections on the duck pond.
The pic above is the one I'm entering for reflection hunters this week. This shot was taken looking sort of south over the city (Edinburgh), and the clouds were reflecting nicely in the pond, even though the surface was not flat calm.
I also liked the view above. The low evening sun was starting to shine through the trees on the ridge to the right and that was reflecting nicely in the edge of the pond.
We quite enjoyed our walk around the pond and through the park. It was a nice way for us to relax after us both having a fairly heavy day at work.
We'd also come down to see how the swans and their cygnets were getting on. They are in the pic above. The cygents are nearly as big as the audlt swans now, but still have a mostly grey plumage. That will soon disappear and then they'll migrate south for winter. The adult pair will come back again next year to raise another brood.
As we worked our way up around the park, the sunset was starting to set over the rugby field. You cant really make it out in this pic (and I know its not a reflection pic), but there was a lady just by the rugby posts in the distance, with two gorgeous springer spaniel puppies. So we went and chatted to her for a while so we could play with the pups for 5 mins - lots of fun indeed !
Anyway, we had a lovely relaxing evening walk around the park, and we are glad we went out to enjoy it !

We have a field in our town where they used to play rugby too. I am not sure if they still do, but it was kind of a big deal because it was just something people threw together. As you can imagine, there isn't a huge draw to rugby in my neck of the woods. This looks like a really beautiful park. I wish our local one had a pond or something. The one further down the road does, but it isn't as nice.
Rugby is really popular in this part of Scotland. Soccer is the most popular, but rugby is a very close second, and the Scottish national rugby stadium is very close to where we live - so its quite a big deal in Edinburgh.
It is a nice park and we are lucky to have it so close to it. One of the things I like about it, is that its quite popular, so when we go thee is always something going on, or something to see - quite lively !
That is cool that there is so much happening there. I need to learn more about rugby. I find it interesting, but I just don't understand it at all.
Hello dear friend @hoosie good morning
What a beautiful place to walk in the company of your wife, plus you had the opportunity to take beautiful photographs of reflections.
I appreciate you letting us know. May you enjoy the weekend
