So lovely is the
countryside around us, that you really don't need an excuse to walk through
it... but I found one! I am doing my best to lose weight and the folk of Brixton
have been so kind and encouraging. Here's some photographs I took on one of
my walks... I started at the stile behind Cherry Tree drive...
... turning left
down the lane towards the A379...
Over the stile
by the fine Cofflete path...
... and finding
one of my favourite flowers.
... was this a
Komodo Dragon?
In the first meadow, a tree like a skeletal hand, pointing skywards...
... and a magnificent
Beech.
The vista through
a gateway westwards...
... and in the
second meadow, where I found some curious residents...
... and a shy
youngster!
Another grand
view westwards...
... before the
stile on Steer Point Road.
The Broad Ooze.
Looking south
eastwards above Dragberry Plantation.
A new life...
... and another
curious bunch!
Along Steer Point
Road and back into our village..
... up towards
Stamps Hilll and before turning westwards at Woolaton Cross.
A breather and
a view from the stile where I started!
More
photography coming soon to this gallery....
