Yep – another drizzly night in Scotland. According to my personal observation, almost ALL nights are drizzly, but to be fair, I was only there for a couple of weeks.

This guy had what looked like an endless task: he was scooping fall leaves out of the fountain. He was doing a good job and all, but it must have been a little disheartening when he stood up and stretched out his back and then saw how many more leaves were still on the trees.

I wonder how the water decides which path to take, the exciting and fast one, or the calmer and slower one? Likewise, I wonder how people make that same decision.

(An example of the things I thought about while I stood in some very sticky mud and photographed this stream. Curiously it is also an example of why you don’t really want me to always tell you what I’ve been thinking about when I make these photos. You’re welcome.)
