Come away with the raggle taggle gypsy-o
I’ve always loved this out of focus photo of Dartmoor ponies and I’ve posted it here before in black and white, but that was years ago.
When I went hunting for it for Paula’s Thursday challenge, I found two more taken a few days earlier, it was a good year for ponies at Scorhill.
All I remember about those days was wind and my cagoule blowing around, it’s rather exposed up there and I used a long exposure!
Please!
Two tonnes of sand being delivered, where there’s no space for two tonnes of sand. Oh well it’ll be worth it in the end!
apple tree baubles
natures midwinter tree glows
with bright topaz light
Tea little faerie?
perhaps a sip of fizzy
in an acorn cup
growing or floating
which is the illusion
as above so below
This tree calls to me
calls to me each November
quietly whispers
don’t worry see you in spring
then we will both be renewed
Look what I spotted today!
In mediaeval times autumn was a busy month for the women of a family. It was the last chance to harvest the bounty of the hedgerows, to gather berries, nuts and seeds, to dry and preserve for the long winter months.
I don’t think the berries above are edible, just rather pretty cascading between the remaining lace of the leaves.
Fall, leaves, fall; die, flowers, away;
Lengthen night and shorten day:
Every leaf speaks bliss to me
Fluttering from the autumn tree.
Emily Bronte
Exposed by landslides
and harsh coastal erosion
Jurassic shale cliff
Fairest of flowers
no pretension no drama
pure simple nature
This is a scheduled post, be back soon.
The weekly photo challenge, I can’t believe it’s Friday again, but I’m really happy as I have two weeks leave now.
Jen H chose Mirror as the them for the challenge this week, and left us to interpret it in any way we like. I went to Bystock Ponds last weekend, and it was a lovely day for reflections, here’s one of my captures.
You can join in here!
