Watery Wednesday.
One day while we were in England walking along a little river in a lovely old village making photo’s we saw this moorhen sitting there on its nest with one tiny little baby. And in a minute or two there were four of them. They must have come out of the eggs while we were watching there . They ran away from mum and jumped right in the water where I think it was dad was waiting.
I made a collage of some photo's I made during those exciting minutes.
Please click on photo to enlarge!

Outdoor Wednesday.
These photo’s I made in a very old , very well known village in the Cotswolds Chipping Cambden. It is known for its houses and buildings which are all built in golden colored Cotswold stone.
As you can see it was very busy there that day and we couldn´t find a place to park the car. We just drove through the lovely village and that was that. On to other places.

That looks like a classic English village indeed! And watching that moorhen must have been quite an experience - I didn't realize any birds gave birth to live babies.
Cute little hatchlings.
It is always disappointing when we can't find a place to park so we can explore.
Beautiful shots, both watery and outdoors.
Terrific collages. Those are sweet little chicks. The village is what I picture in my mind when I think of England.
lovely village. nice shots.
I can feel your excitement when you saw the chicks!
I love the hatching moorhens! And the village is so interesting, after all I have read about English villages!
Wat een mooie foto's weer Riet, genomen tijdens jullie overgetelijke vakantie.
Ik vind het altijd heel interessant al die fraaie oude plaatsjes met verschilllende huisjes.
Je hebt een mooie voorraad foto's hé, wat vertelde je ook weer, zo'n 900 foto's gemaakt? Pfffff geweldig.
Liefs Josephine
O, I so enjoyed your beautiful photos of your beautiful land.
The English village is JUST what I would think it looked like.
Come by to see me when you can..I, too, have been married to a sweet man for over 50 yrs. with kids and lots of grands.

Wow i love those stone houses! We have a counterpart here in the northernmost part of the country, very few people visit there but now a tourist area. Houses have 2ft thick walls because it is often visited by strong typhoons.
jouw foto's toveren een smile op m'n snoet riet, zo mooi waterig is het alleen maar op je plaatjes:-)
Cute baby moorhen and lovely village...
I have never EVER seen a bird nest ON water before. What an education for me.

Your English village reminded me of our trip to Cotswolds. I like there very much,too.
The scene of hatching is lovely. Leave the nest cheerfully!

Oh, how I wish I was there right now. Beautiful mosaics. Love the architecture and adore the ducklings. You were definitely at the right spot at the right moment to get to see those precious babies. genie

Oh my, I wonder how the baby survive in there.
What a delight to see these beautiful photos.

The mother moorhen did look like she was trying to keep her chicks in the nest.
This English village looks so charming! I'm surprised to learn parking is also a problem there! :)
Simply charming English village.
