Is it a bird? - is it a plane? - no, it's a 5 month old standard poodle pup flying over the snow.............

with a million thanks to Gordon RASmith for the photograph

Epiphany

A Local Visit from The Neighbours

BTW - Mr Tabby from next door asked me to reassure you that his 9 lives remain intact !

Autumn...letting go.....

Out in the park this morning. There have been several of the largest, leafiest trees holding onto their leaves this last week. Yesterday, Autumn was still with us, and the colours were glorious. Today, the leaves are down. The branches stand stark against the sky. It is cold. Winter is moving in.

.....and thru the window today, at about 4pm........

Stewart Memorial Fountain

So here we have it - Mr Heron's roost = on the Stewart Memorial Fountain in Kelvingrove Park, Glasgow. This fountain was erected to celebrate the huge water project undertaken in the 1850's, bringing fresh water from Loch Katrine to the city - the basis of our continuing water supply here in Glasgow. Well - wha'd'ya know, eh !

(Tends to be difficult getting a photo of this without a seagull on 'er 'ead !!)

You'll recognize it now !!

Cousin Heron in Dowanhill Park, Glasgow

Here's A Fine Red Herring for you - tho I've never before seen a herring with legs, wings and feathers !

This is the photo of the heron in Dowanhill Park I was sent and told you about yesterday - he is rather fine, isn't he - but he's NOT the one seeking identification in the current quiz !

Any other suggestions ?

OK - here's another clue............. (!)

Warm.......

Close - I don't know the Mr Heron of Peoples' Palace, so I shall look more thoroughly next time I'm there.

There was another suggestion by An Observer that our Mr Heron in question is in Dowanhill Park - (a picture was supplied, but I need to check if we may view him here) - and tho he looks like a very very close relative, 'tis not he of the Quiz.....

Any other suggestions ?

Quiz Time: Where's Mr Heron ? (Clue: Glasgow)

Where's this then ?

(With apologies to people who don't know Glasgow.....who are at something of a disadvantage......)

Glasgow (1)

Mr Mutt likes walking here.

It is a calm place.

But it does drip rather when it is raining.
