I hope our sheep appreciate the view that they have from their field. Sadly, I suspect it is wasted on them.
Graham and Sam went out for a walk this morning in the cold and rain. They walked about 3 miles across the fields to a coffee shop that is on a rural industrial estate. It does great takeaway coffee which they had with a bacon buttie.
Sam's shoes had really rubbed his feet, so I went to collect them in the Landrover and the sun was just starting to poke through. We went back to the pig and sheep field so that they could unload the food that I picked up yesterday.
While they were doing that, I took a few photos. This tree holds a very special place in my heart, in fact I have a 365 album dedicated to it.
To make a change, the three of us watched the horse racing on TV this afternoon, and had a little flutter. Overall, we came out with a bit of a gain. It was great fun, though we will have to watch ourselves... it would be awful if the only thing we came out of this lockdown with was a gambling problem. 😊
I remember the tree...it’s looking as good as ever! Sounds a very civilised way to spend a wet afternoon to me! Interested in that massive barn on the horizon!
I love your landscapes. Did you shoot this RAW? I daren’t start betting on horses though I did have a go at Newmarket when we went to see George Ezra and didn’t lose too much!
@happypat It's our friends' farm Pat. They used to raise grass fed cattle and pigs and run a beautiful B and B. They don't farm the land now, but have given a young lad the opportunity to take over the farming and now they concentrate on the livery and B and B where they have a lot of visitors who bring their horses to stay with them. It is a beautiful place. https://www.horntongrounds.co.uk/
I remember that tree and your album! It looks as good as ever. I am looking forward to more views of it.
Your shot here is so dramatic with the ominous grey skies and the textured pastures.
Well done and A FAV!
