Honk If You Think It's Autumn

Canada Geese in Belhaven Bay, East Lothian. The geese arrived in the last few days, honking away like a pack of hounds. Whilst waiting for the school bell to ring, a flock honked over and I watched them wheel over the bay and land on the beach. Once the children were in, I shot off home, grabbed the camera and wellies, and headed for the bay. After a bit of sloshing through the estuarine mud, I came away with a few decent shots.

Here's the SOOC.
And a few more on Flickr.

It's very suddenly autumn, there's a real step change. The weather took a real colder turn overnight and we had the heating on this morning for the first time in months. I was quite relieved to find it still works!

The big event today is that Katie is in school all day for the first time, which she's very excited about, taking her lunchbox just like her brothers. The P1s were comparing lunchboxes in their line before they went in - proud as punch :)

And now I've blipped, I have a day of dealing with corrections on the thesis before sending it for printing. After which, there's no more I can do. I can't wait.

PS. I did a search for "Honk If You..." things. This made me laugh.
