Rain, Water, "Goose Weather."

Wonderfully wet weather today. The canal was rather full &  watching  the geese swirling around enjoying it. was akin to being at a show. Later as the rain came down even heavier a couple decided to move under the bridge. .Then in the afternoon it was with joy this mini armada of geese was spotted sailing under another bridge. Sadly the footpath that side was blocked so I couldn't get closer . The River Irwell was running fast and bringing with it all sorts of huge broken branches and items of debris  I cannot identify . Not a glimmer of blue in the sky but watching these birds has made my day. They make the best of every moment .
