Change of heart

          I had this picture of some fallen brown and yellow leaves ready to post today with the accompanying depressing title - “And so it begins …”

          Then I dropped in to see Meanderer’s post “Betwixt Seasons …” and made up my mind to find some pretty flower photos for today’s post instead.

           More from before : a dip into the archives for more “Flora, Fauna and Merryweather“.

Watercolour

          I had a poem lined up for today but I was so pleased when I had a pingback from Wazeau’s Watercolors that I just had to share it with you instead.

          Wazeau has painted my picture as a watercolour !  It’s beautiful.

                     Here’s a link to see for yourself … “Ginger Fringe“.

From the other side

          I followed the “Random Post” button to “Punting Chaos” whilst looking for inspiration for a post for today.

          I walked along the path on the opposite side of the river to my favourite Oxford walk “To the river” a couple of weeks ago and took a few pictures from a different viewpoint.

Banbury Barges

          As promised after my post “Ever present” on Saturday with a little too much snow, here are some more bright and cheerful pictures from our warm start to October at the Banbury Canal Day.

          The chap in the next picture had a good time too.  The theme for the day was “red, white and blue” so he decked out his little motor boat and buzzed in and out of the barges all day.

          Banbury Canal Day is a very popular event.  I’ve never been before but after my visit this time I’m pretty sure I’ll be there helping to swell the numbers again next year.  For anyone who prefers quieter waters, visit my post “Argey Bargey” to see the area on a normal shopping day.
