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.

Terrific Tuesday

I had an industrious morning in the garden, although I suspect I will have to have a day off gardening tomorrow, as I may have over done it!


I started clearing this area beside the shed some weeks ago, but only got as far as the shed floor level.


I filled up a wheelbarrow load with soil that had been on top of these slabs.  I then filled up some holes in the garden with the soil.


Looks so much better now.


Eventually I may get some nice pots to put along here.


The green bin was full, but I managed to get into it and trample it down to fit yet another load of weeds into it.


The tomato plants are starting to flower.


A few pictures from around the garden.



Roses.


This one smelt gorgeous!


This one was too high up to smell, but looked fabulous against the blue sky.


Raspberries from the garden.

I went for an evening walk.


A wild iris.


The sea looked lovely this evening.


A cruise ship.


Fishermen.


Seven Spot Ladybird.


Echium growing on the top of a rocky point.





Fantastic view from up here!


Didn't you know ships go up hill?!


More views from the top of the rocky point.




Back through a field with cows and their calves.


This little one was very inquisitive.


I think today was the hottest it has been.  My thermometer was reading 27.1 degrees celcius in the shade!
