Tuesday

A seat to sit and read whilst listening and looking at the sea.

A grey and cloudy day, but still warm enough to sit out.

Watching the Cormorants

and the interplay between them.

Rocks seen on the beach...and a passion fruit skin.

Rubbish as well unfortunately

A Small Tortoiseshell Butterfly

An Oedemera nobilis beetle.

Large crack in the ground

Erosion

Fence line just hanging on by a thread.

Another spot I sat and read for a while...

Back at home

Watching.... so refreshing, no PC nonsense, no malice intended, just plain good fun.

Tomatoes growing.

Still no sign of my parcel and Hermes proving to be impossible to contact.  Very frustrating.

A Walk in the Woods

With rain forecast later in the afternoon today and tomorrow, we thought we would take the opportunity while it was dry to take the dogs over to Ashridge Estate.  We also wanted to see how Percy would cope, as this morning he still seemed a little uncertain on his feet and thought we would try him in an environment he normally really enjoys.

Although perhaps not quite as lively as he could be, he seemed basically normal which was a huge relief.

He enjoyed lots of sniffs

whilst we enjoyed the views.

The leaves are starting to change.

It was a dull day, but nice and warm.

There is already evidence of some fungi growing on the fallen logs and trees.

This looks like a skeleton of something imaginary.

Growth on and come out of a fallen log

The dogs enjoying themselves.

Fort building?

Lots of 'dung' beetles out and about

Acorns on and off the trees.

Some new additions to my 'Autumnal' tray.

To finish off a bit of colour to a rather dull but good day.  It was nice to get out with the dogs and go for a more enjoyable walk than just round the footpaths of our local area.
