As we make our way out of Liverpool we are traveling through an area of canal full of rushes and lily pads. In many places what you see is greenery across the canal as a whole with only a small path for the boats to travel through.
The lily pads are mainly of the small variety
with small yellow flowers. They blanket the surface of the water and undulate slowly as you pass.
There are some of the larger variety
and they are also in bloom. Mike likes these better. Me, I like them both.
///The rushes that line the sides of the canal are home to the shy little moorhens that I love to watch. Get too close and they scamper off into the rushes until they feel safe again. If the lily pads are in the way they run right over them. The adults with their long legs are fun to watch but the little ones look like furry blobs on toothpicks and they are cute as can be. Enough to make you laugh out loud sometimes as they run for cover.
