Hi all 👋🏻
Join me today as we walk around the reservoir of RUTLAND WATER and walk further towards OAKHAM along a walking path and circling back to Rutland water again. We walked there while I was visiting last summer the UK. 🇬🇧
With this post I’m joining in at the Wednesday Walk challenge and Make me Smile challenge. That are hosted by @tattoodjay and @elizacheng every week on Wednesday.
‼️Have a look: Here in the Wednesday Walk Community if you want to join in!… the community is run by @tattoodjay.
Look at his last #Wednesdaywalk post.
It will tell you also the rules of joining at the Wednesday walk posts 😁 come join us! It is fun!
Today’s selection will be of 35 PHOTOGRAPHS
Date: 5 July 2023.
The Photographs in this post are all taken with my phone 📱🤓
I will follow the time stamps on them. So it looks like you are experiencing my #adventures on this #walk, to 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻 #discover everything what I saw, like the little #details seen through my eyes. 😊
The location on google maps you find in the following screenshots:
Zooming in a bit more:
Are you coming along? 😁 lets go….
The first thing we see after parking our car is this area. There are little boats 🚤 and in the back a fun park… to play on the water.
There is a little pier sticking out into the water.
Some seagulls are wandering along…
I see a bright red sail… ⛵️ it stands out against the green of the trees 🌳
It is a dark day… heavy clouds weighing down on us.
Do you see the ducks 🦆
On the left side I zoom in on everything that is stalled there. The slides 🛝 look cool 😎 i think they pull them out into the water further when they open for people to play on.
We start walking over the path, i see a RUTLAND WATER sign 🪧
There is also a sign with the area map on it. So you can see how large it is.
I see a carved tree trunk, in the form of a mushroom 🍄🟫
The views are wide around us, the sun ☀️ wants to peek through the clouds ☁️ will they let her?
Let us walk towards the water edge…
We stand next to the tree 🌳 its branches hanging low and we look through them along the reservoir.
It is nice and cool…
The colour of the water seems ever changing when you look over it. From blue to green to brown…
There is nobody around just us and the silence… it is very peaceful ☺️
We walk further…
I see a lonely crow hopping along the side.
The sky seems to get darker.
Passing through the gate, we are leaving the area from the sign and wander further towards Oakham now along a hard path.
We see the road goes up and down in the distance…
A big rock with a plaque.
In the distance a bench… shall we go for a rest and take in the view?
Walking there I find wildflowers 🌸🌸🌸🌸
Look how beautiful they are… come have a look at these insects 🪲🪲🪲
Walking further we are getting closer to the water side again. We site and rest. Taking in the views. 😊
Let’s walk further. As we get up I see this white butterfly 🦋
As I look at the butterfly my eye is pulled towards this bumble bee 🐝 How can I not take some photos of the #bee
A honey bee 🐝 is joining too 🥰
We walk further now, the green shrubs are getting thicker around us.
A wildlife-hide was build. Let’s have a look.
You can observe all the wildlife around you, without them noticing you. What a great place.
I could sit here for a while and see what passes by… 😊
But… we have to keep walking today… 😁
It is getting darker, maybe some rain later 🌧️
I find this view… the roots of the tree make it magical. Don’t you think?
We wander back to the parking now as it is getting late now.
Thanks for joining me on this lovely walk today…
…and here I say that’s all for today’s post my friends.
Join me next time for more #updates, #adventures, #stories and #photographs 😎👋🏻
Even my own #artworks, once in a while, will come by” 🎨
