With it being a long bank holiday weekend in the U.K. and horror of horrors, warm sunny weather, I have been out and about.
Sitting in the sun, walking down quiet lanes, smelling flowers, watching nature and visiting the odd country pub. We’ve seen horses, foxes, turkeys, chickens, rabbits, deer and about 20 species of bird.
I thought some of you might like to see a few of the sights near to home. When the weather here is bad then it’s bad but when it’s fine then it’s hard to think it’s heaven.

A very picturesque old lane

The trees and bushes are full of blossom.

A fork in the road.

A road less travelled.

Progress?

Perfection

Shrubs and cereals

Catching the rays

Don’t mind me!

New friends

Beech Trees spring to life

A carpet of blue

Bluebells on the woodland floor

Hello pretty.

A little bit of heaven

The road to no-where.

A lane of slight foreboding.

A natural candle

The long walk home

Beautiful. And, seems naturally so. Not like one of the manicured greens.

Yes, I think so too. I like the natural look.

looks lovely – but some of your photos seem vertically stretched?

I can see what you mean on some but I don’t have any photo software to do these manipulations. I think it could be because I restricted the size on WordPress as they are all ready 2mb in size per photo and I didn’t want to use up all my space. It is strange as on Facebook they don’t look stretched at all.
