Around Here.........

the long grass has a pinky-purple hue, and the sky is the brightest blue...........

I walk familiar paths, climb the same old stiles, but never tire of them...........

as the seasons change there is always something different to delight my eyes. It's harvest time right now.........

and through this door..........

there's a shady path that smells of Honeysuckle..........

it leads to rolling fields............

and places where the undergrowth wants to scratch and sting my bare legs.........

How I love these views at any time of year...........

idyllic..............

odd............

neat..........

Time for a rest...........

just me and the birds............

and butterflies.........

Cabbage White in flight 

I sit on the ground and gaze at a passing plane...........

and wonder why anyone would want to leave Britain on such a perfect summers day..............

There are friendly locals.........

and their pets............

Fields of clover............

and Hares looking for some shade.............

meadows full of wild flowers, buzzing with bees.............

flashes of yellow...........

from birds who think this is the best place in summer.............

Yellow Wagtail

and who could argue with them.............

Flowers bring the promise of fruit to come............

Brambles

and add colour to the wayside............

Purple Vetch

The countryside is busy but at the same time wonderfully calm and peaceful at this special time of year........

I love summer....... and I love it around here.
