Blustery snowy winter walk in the park
Hello Hello Hivians
Today we are going up to our local park in Scotland đ´ó §ó ˘ó łó Łó ´ó ż after a wee dusting of snow that fell
This was at the end of last wee and so it was a wee bit chilly but mostly dry.
All these pictures are taken with my smartphone camera. I did take lots of pictures with my camera but those are on my memory card andare for another day!
Wrap up warm!
We had a snowfall and it dawned on me that I had not been walking in the park for a couple of weeks, which meant that I had not taken food to the birds and animals for a couple of weeks.
My lethargy was put to shame and so I loaded up my bag with food and a camera, wrapped up and off I went.
Not sure about where you live but all councils here complain of no money and they are cutting back everything.
Normally this would have been gritted. But nope, fluffing nothing, which meant the pavements were quite slippy and icy.
Seeing this sign took me back to my school boy days. We played rugby as I was in the first team we often played on hard icy surfaces that.
You can see the sign mentions Stewart's Melville well we played them many times as they another school in Edinburgh.
Into the park we went and no surprises then that this hadnot been gritted either.
So bascially they were waiting for sun power to melt things.
Back in the day the perimeter of Beveridge Park was used as motorbike racing track!
I think it is two and a bit miles in circumference.
The bike is an homage to a local Kirkcaldy Motorcycle club member who was a bit of a hot shot.
It is a wooden statue.
So to the boating pond we went.
Frozen yep that water is frozen on top.
That is why there were not birds visible at all. Even the darker patch was frozen.
However way down at the bottom end of the Pond there were the resident pair of mute swans as well as lots of ducks and what appeared to be coots.
Closer we went and yes there were some mallard ducks as well as the most coots I have ever seen at the park.
They were standing on the white ice.
The swans were in water. I thought this was a bit odd as to why there was exposed water that was not frozen.
Being winter time, the swans don't mess around and the seagulls are wary of them.
The ducks though were game on to be fed.
If you see the bottom of the photos there is a gap in the stone work, that is due to there being an water flow inlet that tops up the pond, that flowing water had kept the water from being frozen.
Do you see the noisy Pomeranian duck! I think he is related to Dafty.
I tried to entice the coots and a couple of moorhens towards me to get some food.
I was semi successful and then the food was finished, well the aquatic birds bird food was finished.
I still had some for the land based birds. So it was time to go exploring to see where to put their food.
I actually forgot that where I wanted to go, meant traipsing over the grass to there!
Ah well shoes do dry right enough! In those woods was where I feed the ravens, robins, magpies, pigeons,jackdaws, thrushes and other wee birds that take the food!
Do you see the sky, well there is a touch of blue fighting to come out!
There is it, now that I have decided to think about going home, of course it brightens up.
Tree shots of course can be majestical in my eyes in wintertime. Today was no exception.
They are in all there naked glory not afraid to display their bumps and warts!
Don't you just love the snow sitting atop the limbs, I love it and I have left this picture until last.
From here of course I went shopping and then home for a warm coffee!
This post is of course for #wednesdaywalk which was started by the wonderful @tattoodjay.
Thanks for visiting and enjoy the rest of your day!

You are welcome.
Nice đ
Thanks much for sharing your snowy adventure! I remember frozen landscapes like that growing up, and when I lived on the mainland! I'm happy now, however, to be able to appreciate and enjoy such wintery scenes from my warm jungle hideout! đ đ đ ⨠đ¤
hehe don't get me jeaous of your current weather lol
I promise to do my best...𤣠đ đ đ ⨠đ¤
The last picture is my favorite, too. You are so nice to feed the birds when food is scarce.
Thank you, well it is a good feeling helping others, even if they are birds!
It's good to get outside for a walk, even when it's cold and snowy. Always feels so good coming back to a warm indoors, would be taken for granted before.

Thank you, yes a dose of fresh air works wonders!
Beautiful pictures, beautiful ducks. Well arrange post and a good tour indeed
Thank you, nature provides good models.
Looks like a lovely snowy walk! It's always the way that it brightens up when you go home. I am surprised the council haven't gritted there, whatever is the world coming to.
I also played rugger when I was at school, definitely I wasn't so keen on a diving tackle in this weather, especially if it was muddy too!
The councils claiming all bankrupt and having to pay for schools and teachers for all the immigrants blah blah, it all gets tedious. The gritting lorries were not even out and we have had six nights in a row it went negative. Wtf we pay council tax for I have no idea.
Yeah I played scrumhalf, my knees would be shot to shit with cuts and scars after the winter games đ¤Ł
Congratulations, your post has been added to Pinmapple! đđĽłđ

Want to have your post on the map too?
Awesome, thank you
Does the pond ever get frozen enough that people go out on it? Like ice skating or ice fishing? We get feet of ice around here. People drive their cars out on the lakes.
Oh heck no, we never get cold enough to do that. It would be a once in a generation type of thing.
@tengolotodo thanks for sharing your snowy walk up there in the north, no snow here
down in the midlands but it is cold have a wonderful mid week đ

Looks like a nice day out. And it's great you are feeding the birds at this time of year!
Cheers hoosie well it is a good feeling helping others, even if they are birds!
Nice post and photography. I really can't relate since I haven't experienced winter before.
hehe I wish I hadn't experienced winter đ¤Ł
Loved your walk and your photos!
Thanks Katy and I saw your X comment about gifs, that was a cracking idea thank you!
I hope to be out in the snow someday. Ponds freezing over? Thatâs something. The most we have had is water freezing in pipes. lol. Yeah. Ice blocks coming out from pipes.
And your winters walk is beautiful. You should be mindful of the slippery ice though. đ¤
We donât want you breaking a disc đ
haha you beeg dope. In winter often pipes freeze here when people go away and turn off the heating. Then they unfreeze to quick and burst. haha eater everywhere.
Mindful I always am, yeah a broken disc would not be fun for me at all!
It's a delightful view. I loved the ducks. I also saw it while visiting an ancient city. but these are bigger. If you want, take a look at my page. have a nice day @tengolotodo
Thanks mate, be there in a minute
Thank you man . đ
Wow đą, what a beautiful pictures you have here, the snow,
I wish to see snow here someday
#dreemerforlife
Snow is fine until it melts then the problems can happen!
What problem?
It's all white in there, I can feel the cold (â§â˝âŚ). But color white as a background is also not bad, it looks beautiful. Having a walk with that kind of surrounding is surely fun too. And OMG is that a duck party (â^o^) â
haha a duck party, it was and the music was fowl đ¤Ł
Brrr looks chilly but a nice walk
we to had a dusting of snow yesterday and pretty cold out today at -10C at the moment, trying to get over a sinus infection so have bene slack or sensible and not out walking for a few days
Thanks for joining the Wednesday Walk
