Exploring

Woodland Treats

A short drive, 

 my daughter & I reach the lower ridges of the Quantock Hills, Somerset.

We've parked up beside a bridle path going uphill into the woods.

This day was certainly our intention to give Max some extra attention

particularly as he hadn't been his best of late.

Many photos was taken this day,

 & even some filming with the camcorder.

Max seem completely invigorated.

He coped with the walk really well much to our surprise,

 but certainly a reasurring one.

Through the opennings in the woods,

 the skies were of brilliant blue, such a lovely sunny day!

Pine cones of various size's were in evidence,

reminding us of an oncoming Autum.

The blackberries were ripening,

& yet a random foxglove was still in flower,

but the plant was protected by the shade.

A lovely walk,

 which we all thoroughly enjoyed,

 with much laughter & memorable moments,

particuarly with the footwear my daughter turned up in,

 even though she had been warned

  as to what sort of walk it was going to be!!!

She coped very well considering,

but despite the occasion,

she is an avid fan of fashion!

Just been so please to think she had Max to grow up with. . . .
