Hi All 👋 Feel free to join in this weekly challenge whenever you find yourself thinking, “I’m a fan of…” (see below for how-to).
This week’s Fan Of.. is Swans #3. Recent workload & poor weather have meant no chance for photography outings, so I’m delving into my archive for my Fan Of… series. As these particular swans are looking a little odd, this is also my post for Becky’s Odd Squares.
Usually we see swans effortlessly paddling around, looking elegant…

This week’s Fan Of.. is Swans #2. Recent workload & poor weather have meant no chance for photography outings, so I’m delving into my archive for my Fan Of… series. This week I’m concentrating on cygnets & juveniles from various places we’ve visited on our bikes. Come back next week for some more swan close-ups

This week’s Fan Of.. is Swans #1. Recent workload & poor weather have meant no chance for photography outings, so I’m delving into my archive for my Fan Of… series. These shots were all taken at Broadwood Loch, on the outskirts of Cumbernauld. Come back next week for some more swans.

This week’s Fan Of… is upside-down swans. It is not an uncommon site whilst cycling along the canal to see the back end of a swan sticking out of the water whilst they graze off the weed on the bottom

This week’s Fan Of… is a visit to Helix Park.
This is also my entry for Xinfumama’s Pull Up a Seat Challenge. Check out the seat below
Helix Park is an outdoor visitors centre just outside of Falkirk & forms part of the Kelpies attraction. The Park is a very open area with a kids playpark, café, plenty of bike parking & two very large ponds. Both ponds are frequented by a variety of water birds: Swans, ducks, coots, geese & gulls, to mention but a few.

Hi All 👋 My entry for Cee’s Midweek Madness Challenge: Two S’s in the Word.
This next one may not be technically correct, but I’m putting it in anywayI know the plural for sheep is sheep, but I prefer sheeps or sheepses (“change approved” as Ellie would say in Cougar Town).
These next shots are for Elke’s entry of Mussed Hair. Elke had a picture of a black tufted duck in her post, & I mentioned that I’d just seen some, to which she replied that I should post them; so here they are…
…and finally, another Scots word, meaning a group of six; sixsome

This week’s Fan Of… is a dreich day by the canal. Probably not everyone’s idea of a day to be out on the bikes, but we’ve decided we’re not just fair-weather cyclists.
Being out on our bikes exploring is our version of bliss for my wife & me, & so this is also my entry for this week’s Lens-Artists Challenge, hosted this week by Lindy Low LeCoq: Follow Your Bliss.
We don’t have a car & since we got our bikes earlier in the year, we have clocked up over 700km & have seen many local attractions & a plethora of nature that we would never have otherwise come across. We use the Forth & Clyde Canal a lot to get around & I have been able to capture many images that have featured extensively in my Fan Of… & Water Water Everywhere Challenges, as well as in many other photographic challenges.
