Reflection of a corrugated steel building on the oppsite bank of the 21 locks section of the canal. A gentle breeze was creating slight currents in the water, making small distortions in the reflection, so that it resembled an op art picture.
Dandelion seed heads, thoroughly soaked by autumn dew.
Grey wagtail searching for food on cobbles under the canal bridge at Broad Street Basin, until a boat came along. It then crossed the water and landed on the barrier cutting off access to the side arm, where it also seemed to be finding tasty nibbles.
An oak leaf just starting to make the autumn colour change from green to yellows and browns; the process beginning at spots where the leaf has been damaged.
Sunlight catches one leaf of a Japanese acer by Bantock House when the rest of the tree was in shadow.
The patch of trees seen across the Pitch and Putt course show a more restrained palette of early autumn leaf colours.
At this time of year, the morning flights of skeins of Canada geese from West Park get bigger and noisier. The birds set off as if on their long ancestral autumn migration from Canada to Mexico, before they remember how cushy their life is on the boating lake.
A few of these birds are smaller and paler than the others. They are crosses: one parent was a Canada, the other most likely a domesticated goose. The lead bird in the main picture is a greylag!
