We've been away for a few days ... seeing No.1 Son and his lovely girlfriend in Durham and then travelling on northwards to visit Edinburgh (my *
first* trip to Scotland!). I've been doing a bit of
Summertime Scavenging and had hoped to get a holiday version whilst we were away ... I'm still checking my photos against the list, but I did manage a surprising couple of last-minute photos at the Tebay motorway services on the way home:
 |
| #7 Rural Landscape |
That's the view from inside the service station restaurant! There were swifts darting about, catching insects and a family of ducks swam by while we were eating. As we walked through the building to continue our journey home, we spotted another water feature through the windows:
 |
| #18 Waterfall |
A fairly pathetic waterfall, but upon
Zooming In a couple of times we discovered the family of ducks were happily drinking from it!
There are lots more unexpected treasures over at
Helena's this week. I'll be back next week with a round-up of my holiday scavenging ... but first the holiday washing needs attention!!
well spotted, the ducklings are so cute
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice view from a motorway service station!!
ReplyDeleteCute ducky wuckies :)
i was about to say - ooh, Tebay, that's the one with the gorgeous shop, isn't it...when I realised that sounded a bit naff given that you were making a point of photographing the beautiful scenery and not the shopping lol (in my defence, we don't have service stations like yours, so a visit is always a bit of a treat)
ReplyDeleteOh gorgeous!! :)
ReplyDeleteAww look at those little ducklings! Super cute and great photos!! Hope you had a good time away!
ReplyDeleteOh bless, that's such a lovely photo of the ducks
ReplyDeletegreat photos...and love the ducklings!
ReplyDeleteI love that waterfall! And the ducks are such an added bonus.

Great photos! Love the waterfall!
ReplyDeleteOh, that countryside is beautiful! Love the closeups, too.
ReplyDeleteThe zoom of the ducks is a treasure. They are very precious.
ReplyDeleteI know this service station - isn't it beautifully maintained and situated? Your shot with the ducklings has huge "Aw!" factor :).
