Floss, Ted and I went for our early morning walk – out by 07.00 while it is still quiet – on the golf course that surrounds Mum’s house.
Immediately, I saw a large dog fox run past and quickly vanish again.
And then, a little way away, we saw two deer grazing by the old stag oak – possibly a mother and this year’s youngster.
Everywhere was quiet and it really was the most perfect of mornings. So peaceful.
Floss was with Ted (he is on a lead permanently) while I took photos trying to capture just how special it all was.
And then we saw someone watching us.
He was a big buck – a roe deer, I think. He watched us for a while before bounding off doing those silly bouncy hops. We laughed and thought of Lambie who doesn’t ever do them anymore. He’s far too fat now though he did have a nice bounce on him when he was small.
So very lovely and moody all at the same time! And the “neighbors” seem nice.
Frances! Those trees are amazing. So beautiful. And the sky colors. Thanks for keeping us up to date.
Such beautiful photos, Frances.
Fabulous!
lovely, there is a mystical, almost fairy tale quality to the landscape.
What a beautiful old specimen of a tree. Lovely photos,
Your pictures today with the morning mist are just gorgeous. I bet the air smells so fresh that time of day. What a beautiful time for a walk, before you get hit in the head with a golf ball! Do you get email or phone updates from home?
It must be odd to wake up to so many trees! Your photos capture the mood of the morning perfectly.
You DID capture how special it was!
Awesome photos! Each one is just so beautiful. It was such a delight to see your world through your eyes, your heart, and your lens.
