Blue Monday - What a Walk!

A gorgeous blue sky today!  A very productive morning spent in the garden and then in the afternoon I went for a rather long walk - much further than I had originally intended - so this post will just be photos I took on my walk.  You might want to make a cuppa!


These almost look like a field of poppies, but they are not.


Down a narrow road


Signs to give a choice of which way to go


Further I wander down the Byway.


Looking across dry fields.  


You can see how little rain we have had.  The only green in the fields are crops, not grass.


A foxglove growing wild.


Looking across at villages - this one is Wroxall


This one is Ventnor



A patchwork of fields and sky


You can see another beach in the distance here.


More signs, which way shall I go?


I didn't quite make it to this monument today as it was time to turn back, but next time I will pack a lunch and leave in the morning so I have more time to explore.


Shall I go this way?



Or this way?


Sheep grazing in the fields


Looking down on Whitwell


Some steps


A memorial seat


Just the place to leave one of my Kiwi rocks...off the more popular tracks I wonder who will find it?



Through a little grove of trees


A little oasis?


These fishing lakes were a surprise.






A family of geese


Two cute little goslings 



Such elegance


In duplicate


I didn't go any nearer to them as I didn't want to disturb them.



More signposts showing the way.  


A little sparrow



Cows in a field that I had to walk past.


Tiny ponies in another field


A horse and a donkey



Come on luv show us your smile!


So what do you think of that then?


A marbled white on my way home.

Throughout my walk there were an abundance of butterflies.  At once stage I was walking through what felt like a field of them as they all fluttered around me as I walked, it was amazing.

  2. It's good to have new places to explore. There is a good mix of woodlsnds and open views for you too. We all do it! "A little sparrow". I was describing a robin the other day as 'little' and I thought "Actually it's just about the usual size for a robin. It's something like farms which advertise "Fresh Eggs". Who is going to sell stale eggs? Sorry. I'm rambling. Actually it was you who was rambling. We are the beneficiaries with all your pictures. Phew. Back to my morning coffee.

    1. Ha ha, yes we do...I guess I could have said a young sparrow, but actually it doesn't look like a very young one with its full male colouring, so should have just said sparrow.

      As for who is going to sell stale eggs....I have had a few shockers from the supermarket on occasion so now always crack an egg into a small jug or glass first before I put it into a pan, or cake mix etc... So perhaps advertising 'Fresh Eggs' isn't so daft after all?
