The world reveals itself to those who travel on foot. ~ Werner Herzog
Let's have a little wander around Peterborough. This takes us back to mid-October when trees hadn't fully changed but the air was still mild and inviting. Please join me!
It was a windy day, and my walk started over at Little Lake where I had a good view of Centennial Fountain showing off her rainbow colours in the brilliant sunshine.
A moment later, the wind picked up, lifting the prism skyward. We were also feeling the mist from across the lake, at times.
This gull was battling the breeze over the waters of Little Lake.
The breezy day was also having fun with the clouds, creating wispy white fingers in the sky.
There must have also been some water droplets in this cloud which formed a subtle rainbow of its own.
This little cutie decided to hang around and pose for a few photos.
Wandering further south, we ended up winding through the paths of the Little Lake Cemetery where this angel was watching over some of the local residents.
Exploring the surroundings, this cutie of a ground hog took one last look before disappearing in her burrow between a couple of monuments.
Something interesting had been going on in this spot where a small, colourful collection of glass and pottery had been left behind.
This little guy was also having a nice little wander several hops ahead.
Juniper berries are bright blue eye-catchers in the sunlight.
Another colourful scene which caught my eye on the way home.
And speaking of home, this was the view outside of my window when the sun broke free of gloomy skies and brushed the trees with its brilliance.
That's it for this time. More photos coming up just as soon as they're ready.

I like the tiny rabbit at the base of the huge trees. You have a good variety of clouds and water.
Wonderful shots. I love the rainbow!
I like your town's "geyser"! Thanks for a nice trip through your hometown
My life needs more rainbows, thank you for supplying these!
Yes, my life also needs a couple of rainbows. Thank you, and I especially love that beautiful picture of the juniper berries. A lovely collection, thank you again. :-)
Plenty of rainbows! Well caught.
Some interesting cloud formations too.

The autumn skies are so brilliant aren\t they? I love that they are often dark gray on the horizons while the sun shines over us. Makes a wonderful backdrop for the other spectacular colors on display.
Beautiful photos! Love your city and its creatures! The sky is that last shot is incredible.
You got an amazing shot of that gull in flight!
The groundhog and the rabbit are a delight to see!
These were all wonderful!! Love the many trees you have right outside your window. :)
The discarded bottle in that one picture looks like it might be really old.
I very much enjoy my walks with you. You show me such beautiful sights.
I looked at that first picture and thought is that a low little cloud raining?! and the prism in the cloud is called a sundog I think.
The patina on that angel is beautiful....
All your photographs are wonderful.
Great eye finding all these bits of beauty where you live. NOthing is missed by you, it seems.
I really like the acrobatic angel who has been standing on one leg for so many years. Of course, with wonderfully large wings like that, it would be easy for her to keep her balance.
Beautiful views of Peterborough, as always!!
Reflections are beautiful, although there was some battered glass. A lovely place Hilary.
oh so amazing is that rainbow being sprayed up from the lake .. love it
Those rainbows are amazing captures!!
truly beautiful!!
Great pix, especially the first two!
These are so fun. How on earth could I miss them? You usually post on fAcebook when you post. sigh.
Dancing rainbows and dancing clouds, birds with wings and guardian angels and quiet critters -- such a beautiful cross-section of an autumn day!
The shot of the juniper berries is frame-worthy for sure!
