The flowers are dissapearing now on the banks of the Ribble but are being replaced by vibrant Autumn leaves and berries.

Jake is getting used to me stopping and taking pics. Though sometimes his patience wears thin and he barks a 'Cmon I wanna get going Mum!'

Jake cooling off with the ducks.

Indian Basalm

Oyster catcher : )

Was amazing to see an Oyster catcher further up the river today. I thought they only lived on the coast. A really hot day so Jake spent a lot of time in the water. Dont think the ducks were that impressed!
