<div class="text-justify"> ### Hello Hello Hivians Today we are going for a walk in the park!  This past weekend was pretty nice weather here in Scotland. Blue skies with white cotton clouds interspersed with the odd grey cloud. A perfect time to go for a walk in the park. So let's see what we found! **Our starting point is the aptly named Rose Garden.**  The rose garden is on the way to the boat pond, and yes full of bonnie wee roses. They cut back the roses from a couple of years ago so now they seem mostly to be low level roses and not much taller and bushier like they used to be.  <sbr> ### However, I spied something through the pillars...  <sbr> **Did you see it?** Here is a bigger look all close up!  <sbr> Of course it was a bit blurry as it was using the zoom so a distance away. ### Here is the result ...  Hehe yes an ice cream or a Mr Whippy that is wht we call soft ice cream like that. Of course the chocoholic in me always has to have a 99 or flake!  Usually it is a bloke with his ice cream truck, today was a girl. **Do you have ice cream vans like that in your country?**  <sbr> But guess who noticed we were there? ### Not seagulls thankfully, but it was Dafty's grandson Pieter the Pomerian duck! It has been a while since I had seen or fed him, so he got a handful of duck food.  Before we left it was time to dispose of the paper tissues we held the ice cream cones it, and here was a cute rubbish bin! Do you have cute bins like that? Aha look else is coming...  yes Sandra Swan wanted to say hello too.... Can you see her ruffled feathers? **She is not like that because of me...** #### Oh no it is because of Charles and Camilla!  Not the Royals ... but ... it is Charles and Camilla **coot** guarding their nest. I tell you what ... They are bloody noisy and scoot over the water to have a go at Sandra Swan, their lack of size does not stop them guarding the nest! But we are going up into those woods eventually ...  Look up, don't you just love looking up and seeing what is up there?  First though, through the gardens we need to go ... look at this lavender!  Forget fields of fire, this was more fields of lavender. I think the parks department at the local council must have got some good deals on hundreds of lavender plants! <div class="pull-left"> https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/tengolotodo/23xVFEG4Rv6EkT66RoQQqA1QBtyKFcWkdExhX5iC3caVcyUnoo9zwJHKh9Qj1AvNspe8K.png </div> <div class="pull-right"> https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/tengolotodo/23u653Av47zmUaxxQL33TkA9k7U8ntoHrX3uwHmNFpGvoeBhzRR5xHqsSvQcES7E9ymkM.png</div> <div class="pull-left"> https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/tengolotodo/23wqg4Kd4LdmsoKSgWjntaENkBb39jJLUx4WwCH53bnU29YG4M6o5gpZhr9EhMei6W7jW.png </div> <div class="pull-right"> https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/tengolotodo/23w2m8t5tazchmfsXmwPZT5pJFDmsBkWVS9LDpqt4mwurBQ3QYZDF5XqtZ2mEPU16bUvv.png </div> No time to stop and smell the flowers or look at the animal fountain! <div class="pull-left"> https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/tengolotodo/243frnmQvNbEBkhhNRuC4iawj7z59ujA2V8fWG3u6H9jYQkg3rLUif6nvBBLWswAxVDk7.png </div> <div class="pull-right"> https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/tengolotodo/23zGYLcGoh13oMwWyAJaG6JtNHM5wePJ9pCRwzBm8Q6hm2Nz7x9QHZCPFwg5md3S9ASRu.png </div> ### The fountain and beaver or is it an otter are dedicated to Mrs Beveridge. She was the wife of the mayor of Kirkcaldy and kept pestering him to create some green land for the people of Kirkcaldy, and so Beveridge Park was created. Thank you Mrs Beveridge! Onwards we go though ....  <sbr> We have loads of alleys in the UK, this is not Diagon Alleyfrom Harry Potter fame, no rather I call it Tree Alley! To the woods we go, we are on a mission! <div class="pull-left"> https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/tengolotodo/23xVKEyevh5JL8TXrVgPZbhX3PfVmdMMJELSWrNa5XdyhgWq2sPDrQq6MeBEWvFuMYc41.png </div> <div class="pull-right"> https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/tengolotodo/23yTeoEmhRHBRPhLbaGzhPHqL4mcBD9kj5VeUDbCmyyo4aMHGGfBpPeCASFN9pBoVyEhL.png </div> Yes we're off to see the Wizard, the wonderful Wizard of .... First though, we need to ask him if we go left or right? Always decisions, decisions everywhere ... We are going to hang a left and then take a right ... Are you keeping up? <div class="pull-left"> https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/tengolotodo/23yTeynaMeApac1Yih7DsJVni5HiBUiVfLjxVS8nhMjwXdr8ucKNEDQk8jGqkNfGaMCPS.png </div> <div class="pull-right"> https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/tengolotodo/23yd3oG6F8FDSXAQzfQYGcKtJD9FJfo5eZGk5CJmUEzjY6cKMNA5cCHsmyLkgbRKRiq6i.png </div> Now you know we are going up ...  Even up and down in points as you can see from this panoramic shot!  Alrighty nearly there ....  Can you see something on the left hand side of the path? Almost in the center of the picture... Let's go closer ...  There he is, with his wise owl on his shoulder!  The wonderful Wizard of Beveridge. His name is Sir Michael Scott and he is 800 years old! You can tell by the book in his hand, he is an academic and even taught in Italy and the Vatican! But we shall leave him be today. ### But what the fluff is this!!!  The recent winds had caused havoc and brought down trees and branches ... Trapping us .... ### Help! Did we make it out alive! https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/tengolotodo/23tbREov743rX1e2zrSKj3rAPLUDZJi1nKQrkJ8uf1T4Axz9Pkg1nWMmuFu74BnchGAKP.png </div> This is also a post to participate in the #wednesdaywalk initiative from the wonderful @tattoodjay ### Thanks for visiting and enjoy the rest of your day! https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/tengolotodo/23tbREov743rX1e2zrSKj3rAPLUDZJi1nKQrkJ8uf1T4Axz9Pkg1nWMmuFu74BnchGAKP.png <center> <br> <em><strong>All images and ramblings are from me, the mad Scotsman TengoLoTodo and pictures were taken with my Canon HS70 Powershot Bridge camera. @tengolotodo August 14th 2024 (Aug 9 Premium 2 VR) </strong></em> ### <div class="phishy">DO WHAT YOU LOVE AND DO IT OFTEN</div> #### Haste Ye Back!</center> </div> [//]:# (!worldmappin 56.10421 lat -3.18028 long From roses to coots to wizards taking a walk in Beveridge Park d3scr) Posted Using [InLeo Alpha](https://inleo.io/@tengolotodo/from-roses-to-coots-to-wizards-taking-a-walk-in-beveridge-park-ays)
