Blue skies and golden red leaves
Hello Hello Hivians
In contrast to the winds of last week we bathed in glorious sunshine and some autumnal warmth this week for our #wednesdaywalk.
The wind of course makes for some wonderful crashing waves to see!
The day really was a beauty and the sun was shining!
So without further ado let's get out there!
So we have sun in October in Scotland. Actually it happens more than you think.
So here we have the proof, in fact if not for the cold it is as nice as the summer of this year.
All aboard! I was going to another town so jumped on a bus at the bottom of the hill. It was a doubledecker and something I have just noticed by taking that picture is that we have a boxing gym close to us!
Who knew!
One great thing about travelling by a doubledecker bus is the view you get. You are up and not driving, so of course you can see what is out there to photograph!
I do love older buildings and architecture. I love how they could jazz up a building by putting some columns and a plinth over them as a posh balcony so to speak!
You see that blue sky is out and there was me dressing with a scarf lol, that got put in my backpack quite quickly along with my umbrella!
One thing we forget in the UK is how much green space we actually have in our towns.
The bus weaves in and out of streets and goes past built areas of houses which have parks and children's play areas all over the place.
Next up is the local hospital Victoria Hospital and this newish looking wing/building which I thing is like a kidney...
It is the maternity department amongst other things...
... And yes one of things is infact where they perform Kidney Dialysis.
I used to think that side of the hospital was where the A&E or Casualty department was, but actually it is round this close to where the other bus is...
Enough of the hospital and we in Dysart and close to leaving Kirkcaldy.
But the red on these trees is just gorgeous!
Now I did not take these next three pictures intentionally but can you see the significance of them?
Did you notice the traffic light or you might call it a stop liight ...
Well it shows you the sequence of traffic lights
RED
RED & AMBER
and then
GREEN
And now we are out in the open and zipping along...
Wind turbines I love them and they are everywhere now...
Do you have them locally?
I wonder if that ambulance is heading back to the hospital.
We however, were going to go over a river....
That river being The Ore
Autumn is in full swing.
Green leaves are either falling off the trees, or the leaves are changing colour to reds and oranges.
Then before we knew we were pulling into Glenrothes bus station and that funky black station.
Glenrothes is one of the new towns that got built in the UK. Which means there are loads of roundabouts.
The good thing is that it means lots of flowers and trees, good for nature.
Do you recognise those shells/husks?
They are from a horse chestnut tree and are caed conkers. You can see conker trees on the left of the pictre above.
Opps I got caught taking pictures for the post..
Do you see the sky though....
Yeah I did get my umbrella out and put the phone away while I walked to my meeting.
So long Glenrothes see you soon!
Thanks for visiting and enjoy the rest of your day!

The fall colors are coming out so nicely love the warm colors
I have to admit although so many joke about terrible weather there, from my experience that wasnt the case each time I visited the UK with the exception of once mid winter I was fortunate to experience beautiful weather
Thanks for joining the Wednesday Walk :)
Have a great day :)
Yeah the colours are lovely, I do love when trees have that mixture of colours at the moment.
We joke about the weather, the ironic thing with climate change and global warming, the UK will be the wannabee place to live in Europe as it will be one of the coolest in summer.
I must get out again son before the colors are all gone
I had not thought about that but its probably true the UK may end up being an ideal climate compared to what were the most popular spots
Everywhere I look in this post, I see enchantingly beautiful colours, reds and shades, Autumn you say? Really gorgeous I must say.
Over here we don't have seasons as you do.... well well, you know better! 😁
Yes this is the time of the year we do get all the colours before the leaves fall right off!
Hehe yes I do know your seasons or lack of them Edith 🤣
Haven't been noticing the leaves around me actually. Not that season conscious guy. Atleast I know December is Christmas, Lols.
Nice takes Mr. Tengo, you gave my eyes what to feast upon. Enjoy ya day.
Hehe yours don't change that much though Dani!
Thank you and glad you got to feast on something today :)
That is beautiful! What a nice place you live in, minus the rainy cold winters.... Those are really pretty trees against historic building, but thank goodness the hospital is one them!
Hehe well being on the East we get the cold but not so much rain, that can stay in the West lol. Yes there are many older hospitals, but as long as the equipment is new!
Our leaves are still a bit behind for some reason. I think people are saying it is because of the lack of rain we have gotten and the overall temps of the great lakes that are causing them to stay green a bit longer. Nice shots!
Oh really, yeah I guess the great lakes are so massive that they will affect climates around you. Ah well enjoy the green leaves for a wee bit longer :)
Thanks, will do. After this weekend they will likely turn. We got down to almost freezing last night. It shouldn't be long now.
You have such a beautiful country. It is wonderful to see so much green space in the towns. I love seeing your tours.
Thank you, Mrs T is American and been here for many years, so through her I also get to appreciate how lucky we are her. The green spaces in towns is something Brits take for granted.
Wow, those autumn leaves really look pretty. Soon it would be winter again...so much cold 🥶
As gold as honey! But yes it getting brrr time!
