A Summer Walk

Well - we had a lovely hot and sunny day here yesterday so I decided to go out for a walk.  I'm lucky enough to live in a sort of suburban area that is only a 5 minute walk away from open fields and woods so I decided to go for a nice walk armed with my camera!  I could have worn better shoes as the daps I chose have given me huge blisters but never mind!!!

Anyway, I thought I would share some lovely summery photos that I took on my walk.  It is so nice to see so much greenery and to see wild flowers lining the country paths and roads.  The woods were still abit wet under foot but still great to walk through!

There was this really pretty field full of buttercups....

Alongside the woods runs the River Frome

I love the roots on trees that come up out of the ground and wrap themselves around the trunks.  They make the tree look like it is 'enchanted'!!

 

and Dandelions always photograph so nicely!!

Have a great day wherever you are!!

Fun in the Snow!!

We are experiencing some wintery weather in the UK at the moment.  I live in the South West and we are surrounded by hills so we usually don't suffer too badly with snow.  We had a decent helping of snow a few days back though and as usual the UK came to a standstill hahaha!!  I am happy to go out for a walk in freshly fallen snow but not at all interested once it has turned to slush and ice!  I live alittle out of town so quite alot of green space and trees, which look very pretty when we get snow or frost.  My niece Issy had the day off as her school was closed so she came walking with me.  I thought I would share some of the photos that I took as they are pretty!!

Some of the photos I took with the snow setting on my camera and some I used black and white which has a nice effect on a snowy landscape I think.

 

I love it when there is a splash of colour on a snow covered tree - these Catkins give a nice bit of colour in this next photo.

We walked down by a river that was moving surprisingly fast!

And lastly one of me!!!!!

It's snowing again now but hopefully won't come to anything!!  I've not been out of the house since my walk on Friday - I don't like the cold weather and when it gets slippery, I won't risk falling over on ice for anything!!

Keep warm everyone!!
