Changeable

Photos taken on recent walks,

 the  weather elements

certainly create changes of mood,

 with the sky above!

Misty Encounters....

The further I travelled on Saturday, the mist just became more dense,

but with a stop off point at St Audries, Somerset,

look what greeted me.....

St Audries is an excellent loction,

 which couples often choose for their weddings.

The church below,

 is situated at the entrance of this large estate,

 together with these animals.

Beside the churchyard,

 these sheep,

viewed me with great interest.

Other horses hung close in a sheltered corner.

With the air so chilly & damp,

 time to head back home......

Simplicity. . . .

Simple elements of nature,

 taken  on a countryside walk.

Incorporates the weather,

changing seasons,

 from growth & decay.

The background of the photo may portray the colour grey,

but the smaller images,

 certainly add brightness to such a misty dull day!

Ash Common

A gem of a walk, & not too far away!

Ash Common,

a mixture of walking in wide open spaces

 or venturing into woodland terrain.

Spied a wooden den,

plenty of fallen trees & their boughs.

Lichens & moss,

 flourishing & mingled in with masses of ivy

The pathways follow a stream,

crossing it many times by tiny bridges.

Reflections captured in the watery ripples,

before the last of the suns rays disappears,

 in readiness for dusk. 

Stumpled upon a trunk laden with fungi,

growing large in a 'ladder' formation,

 reaching to the light of the sky.

Fallen aged old tree trunks,

heavily coated in moss

Then glimspes of open spaces. . . .

On this occasion,

not enough time or daylight  to complete the walk,

so I shall return!
