David spotted this water-strider resting on a brick wall beside the river Severn. Was rather surprised to see one out of the water like it!

this is part of a panorama i took on the summit of helvellyn i shot yesterday. the couple of climbers really give some scale to this place.
Another shot from one of my owl watching evenings, there is always plenty of other wildlife to see.
This nervous fella was happy to pose for a few shots (no pun intended) before disappearing over the wall with his companion.
Lets hope he can avoid any unnecessary attention come August.

Water ail juvenile
Water rails have distinctive feet adapted for their wetland habitat. They have long toes, but lack webbing, which allows them to walk on muddy and slippery surfaces. The long toes also help them grasp vegetation, although they don't often perch.

Exhibition Park in Guelph was beautiful on Sunday with autumn being closer to its prime than hereabouts. Sue sometimes took her lunch to this park from work when we lived near here 45 years ago.

Looking back along the length of Striding Edge from just before the final steep climb to Helvellyn's summit.
The handsome student striding out with all the confidence of an Oxford education and catching the eye of the tourists behind him.
Just leaving an exam by the looks of it. I can't tell what sort of gown he's wearing (I think there's three types), but a white carnation means a first examination. Looking cool in his dark glasses, mortar board in his left hand and I assume that's a bottle of champagne in his right. (He doesn't look the Prosecco type.)
As of October 2022, of the 57 prime ministers to date, 30 were educated at the University of Oxford (including 13 at Christ Church), compared to 14 at the University of Cambridge (including six at Trinity College).
So a future prime minister? He certainly has the air of ownership about him and knowledge of his place in the world.
When precipitation *didn't* mean sleet, snow, ice and slush! Photographed in downtown Toronto in early October 2019 when weather was...er...different. I just liked this guy's attitude: "OK, it's wet, no umbrella, gotta get there...now!...so, let's go!" Processed in PS.
This water strider was settled nicely on the surface of this pond - after viewing on the computer, I noted the depression in the water caused by the right front leg. So interesting how they can stay on the surface.
