Soggy Bird 2010-11-02 This poor bird was thoroughly drenched and landed on the dock at Kirkintilloch, Scotland to shake itself dry. [At least I only had to stand in the rain when I was driving the boat] The result after shaking and such: http://www.jerrybarton.eu/Landscapes/Canals/8068199_FK3HC#1074289916_orgGo Many thanks for the comments on my shot of the Japanese Maple leaves. Yes they really were that red, especially with the afternoon sun hitting them.
Stuck Waiting for the lock keepers, I turned off the engine. It wouldn't start again. While waiting for the repair man, I took pictures (between downpours). Top Lock on the Forth & Clyde Canal near Kirkintilloch.
Finished Preening as dry as possible on the dock at Kirkintilloch, Scotland
