Misty woods yesterday
Autumn in all it’s glory.
Not a patio ornament

Sundays, but who’s counting; the weather was lovely and it was shit yesterday.
Both taken outside Biddestone, first on the way out, along Weavern Lane, second on the way back, along a footpath between two crop fields; looking towards Bath and the Mendip transmitter above Wells - in the one on the way out I counted at least a dozen hares dozing in the sun and munching grass. Perfect day.
Lovely pictures mate, big, big skies there.
I have a bit of a thing for hares, one of my favourite wild creatures and intrinsically linked to many happy memories of our countryside from over the years.
@poopscoop - cheers, it’s one of my favourite places to go for a walk, it’s not very long, it’s pretty high up, at 143m, and there’s a great pub in the village at the end! The views are great, and you get lovely cloudscapes. Plus there’s hares! According to the gamekeeper who I was chatting to when I was along the lane for the aurora in May, due to their diligence watching for poachers and hare coursers, they estimate there’s around 135!
Along Weavern Lane, hard right where the yellow bit ends, follow the green dots, hard right onto the footpath across the field, along the lane past the cemetery, back into the village.
Yesterdays photos, ‘cos I wasn’t doing anything special today.
We're fortunate to own a property frequented by a relatively rare butterfly. They're quite hard to photograph but we found a dead male Richmond Birdwing butterfly today. Beautiful creature.
I really do struggle to take close up photos...this is a bit better on my phone at least
This one will take a bit of explaining,
Dolphin (circled) from the Forth Bridge with the Road Bridge and Queensferry Crossing in the background .the safety boat folks said it was playing around their boat and bumping into the boat then followed them to the Hawes pier this was the best I saw
