A frosty stroll in the local Beveridge Park
Hello Hello Hivers, Hivians and any other wonderful being who has stumbled onto this!
Jack Frost was out in full force a wee while ago. We don't really get snow in this part of the country.
In fact, we rarely get frost being as that we are on the coast. So when we do it is fun to have a wee walk and enjoy what Jack Frost left behind for us to enjoy!
So we go back to Friday 16th January 2026.
The frozen Rose Garden
Not sure if the roses are hibernating or dead, and am sure will find out in the spring. They used to be big bushes, but the council chopped them down and it is more like a Rose minigarden now!
The frozen boating pond
I would not venture on the ice, that is for sure!
Squirrel Point
Before they chopped down this tree it was home to a squirrel or two and Mrs T and I would feed them. We still do, but now put it in the bushes on the left.
As you can see from the numerous naked trees we are in full on winter mode!
There is something serene and calming about frost on grass I think.
Pondlife
Of course I fed the ducks...
... appropriately Chalky the white duck was there
After feeding them all including the two swans it was time to feed the land birds.
Too cold to sit!
So quiet compared to summer.
Lavender city
These beds are full of lavender and it is buzzing with bees in the summer.
Having a wee play with filters...
The original...
... Filtered version
I think I prefer this one, it pops more?
Follow that path!
If you want warming up, then why not give it a go on the gym equipment!
Well I was on the way to the grocery shop!
The building on the right is the refurbished gate lodge and is now a local kindergarten!
Right we need to skedaddle!
This post is for #wednesdaywalk which was inspired by @tattoodjay
Thanks for visiting and I hope you managed to get out for a walk this week.

Hola Super Ed!!! I love the photos, but my favorite is the one with the three ducks splashing around. I'm sure they were trying to keep warm, haha.
You've got your dates all mixed up, LOL. I'm sure this was in January, as it says at the end, and not in July, LOL although the year isn't clear, haha ;)
When was this walk, querido? The tiktok is turning you a bit crazy?
The splashes were actually caused by the food pellets we were throwing into them Super Eli. If you see there are wee brown pellets flying through the air.
Hehe the dates what a fluffing disaster, day month year! I got my self in a fankle, that will be a new Scottish word of the day soon!
So yes it really was three weeks ago 16th January 2026 on the way back to Aldi for wool!!
Fankle I have no idea what that means. I'll have to look it up in the video ;) soon jeje
Happy Tuesday, Super Ed 💙
July 2026? How's the cold treating your bones, Ed?!! Those images are incredible, especially the ones of the trees. Their branches look like winter's nervous system. Don't you think? I imagine that if you stand under them, their branches look like neuron dendrites. Nature is beautiful and incredible. A hug full of sunshine.
jeje yes meant to be January Nancy! Nature is beautiful and my bones are saying give me warmth!
I like you nervous system analagies that is awesome. A winter's hug full of warmth

Just don't be licking the play equipment - you'll never get your tongue off the pole!
So pretty, and yes tht edit is lovely too.
Imagine getting tongue stuck, it would be like superglue! Ouch with a fluffing big O
It does make me giggle though....
And when you said there was me thinking of someone with a rolled up tenner tried to snort a line of speed and got their nose stuck 🤣
Wow! You can feel the cold in the air just by looking at your beautiful photos.
Yes their is a crispness in the air hehe!
This tree looks like it has faces in it at first glance. Kind of freaky. No wonder the squirrel lived in it. Nobody would want to mess with him in it.
Yeah it is actually one of my favourite trees. I was pissed off when they chopped off a load of branches. Those faces are great big fungi things and I have posted here about them being monsters before lol
Everything's frozen? I want to see and experience something like that even ONCE! Haha. You could experience it during winter deason ha, i'm kinda jealous. I so love every photos in there. The frosty surroundings gives an amazing effect in everything there. And that raw and filtered photo, I actually preferred the original. It has that mysterious or thrilling kind of effect in it, especially those trees, its really more noticeable coz they don't have leaves. Uwu
Yes it is something we take for granted. But bare trees are a magical thing, it is like their bare their souls to us.
One day I am sure you will see them!
Wait, all this happened in July? That is crazy!
hehe aye wishful thinking that we are back in July, but not, it was all last month in January 2026.
Even though the weather is cold, the view is still very beautiful.
The views are pretty I agree
It looks pretty with all white surroundings. I hope all the plants are just hibernating and wake again in summer😬😌
Most of them will survive, but unfortunately some don't
