Today I thought I would post what I saw on this mornings walk with Hugo.
Friday morning walks are favourites of mine, as I don’t have to hurry. With no work to giddy me along, I am prone to dilly dallying. An hours walk takes me two. Though Hugo has more time to play. š
This morning we ventured up the fields and followed the wall that protects Standen Hall from nosy parkers ( myself included š) and wandered along a country lane for a while. Here’s what I saw. …
Not sure what these blue flowers are. The closest I have come, when checking my Collins Handguide to the Wild Flowers of Britain and Northern Europe is Jacobs Ladder. They are pretty anyway.
Most of the above photos were taken before 8am. It promised to be a beautiful Midsummer Day. And it is!
Have a lovely weekend.
Sounds like a beautiful walk. š
It was ,and quite magical when you think of the enchanters nightshade. X
That looks a wonderful plant. I’ll have to look out for it xx
Looks like a nice walk, I like the bird on the dead tree and the purple thistle flowers š
It was one of my usual walks with the hound. š
What a gorgeous walk! Please don’t wish for blackberry time to be here just yet – I want to savour those long weeks between now and then š
Haha, your quite right. Should not wish this lovely Summer away. Xx
A beautiful walk.
Thank you. X
A wonderful walk and all done while I was still asleep!
Haha, Thank you. Xx
What a lovely start to the day!
It was quite a magical morning. X
Lovely photos š
Thank you. Xx
You really do take the most beautiful photos of some beautiful places. I’m ever so slightly jealous š
Aw thank you. I am quite lucky this is on my doorstep. š x
Thanks for taking us along, such a bright note for me, as it is very miserable & cold here at the moment. The wildflowers that carpet your meadows & line your hedgerows are so pretty & so different to what we see here. Aha, blackberries to be had soon! I remember eating them straight from the bush on the way up to a lookout at Crich & they were so big & yummy. Have a lovely week & take care.
What a lovely walk. We are usually late morning types but yesterday we were also out and about before 8, itās great isnāt it? Feels like you have the whole world to yourself! I must get my wild flower guide out and dust it off. Youāve inspired me to learn all the names Iāve forgotten since primary school! Our ramble wasnāt as refined, h and r just scrambled for the lake and splosh. Pond weed all over them!
Its too hot for the dogs at the mo isn’t it. And our rivers really low. You can paddle accross it. I love wildflower names. So many pretty flowers with pretty names ~ ragged robin, eyebright, foxglove, meadowsweet. Beautiful. š
