Hello August


Hello there. All is fine here. I haven't posted in a while, there is a lot going on at the moment in my non-blog world and I couldn't seem to find the space in my head to think about blogging.


As it is the first day of a new month I wanted to try and get started again. These are a few photographs from my walk yesterday.



The countryside has changed over the last few weeks as we move past midsummer into harvest time. The wheat is ripening, the barley was cut a few weeks ago, and the verges are full of tall grasses and hogweed. The rain earlier in the year seems to have made everything grow vigorously this year.





I usually post pictures of the landscape and mainly flowers so for a change, some cows having their breakfast


a butterfly sunning itself on the brambles


and this little bird who was singing his heart out yesterday morning.


I'm not very knowledgeable on birds, is it a greenfinch?



I am hoping to get back into the habit of taking photographs and posting again. Susannah Conway is hosting  "the August Break" again this year and I'm intending to post a few pictures to the flickr group  - always interesting to see how others interpret the prompts.
