Remembering Summer…..
Like Fred, I am also missing the warmth of the sun. I know that in a couple of months time, I’ll be looking back in fondness to the warmth of now – it’s just that this first summer in my new location hasn’t felt like summer AT ALL!
Anyway, looking through my files, I found these shots I took one bright warm summer’s morning at the end of last year. Instead of heading east along my road, I had turned west at the gate, and then south at the next intersection, in my search for new perspectives. While it’s a pretty area, it hasn’t quite got the more secluded feel of my usual direction, so I haven’t been there since – on my early morning bike rides that is….. 
The light streams were really nice, but I couldn’t seem to capture them properly that day.
Naturally, I attracted the attention of the locals….
And perhaps this one wanted to join in….
I walked over to that gateway, and saw an area beyond that was low lying, a good place to remember come winter when it fills with water and attracts the water birds.
Yes, I remember that summer’s morning…..
really nice views. I especially like the last one with the wild flowers.

Thanks! I put the last one, as a black and white, on my Redbubble sales site.

What do animals think? Me thinks Nufink much,..—-as below…
Maybe —”peace would be nice” “please don’t eat me”.
and—
But dusk would come in the apple boughs,
The green of the glow-worm shine,
And there, in the moonlight, dark with dew,
Asking not wherefore nor why,
Would brood like a ghost, and as still as a post,
Old Nicholas Nye.
