Sultry Evening by helenmoss

Sultry Evening

It's been a quiet day. Both boys off school sick (upset stomach and sore throat; nothing major) so all after-school activities cancelled too. This evening I enticed both of them to step outside the house for the first time all day to take the dogs for a walk. Unusually, we've had a string of very hot days, and this evening the air is humid and thunder clouds are building up. This row of poplar trees seems to take on a different personality every day, and today, across a sea of ripening wheat, under those lowering black clouds, they look very dramatic.
Sadly, we found that Fumbles, the gosling is missing from the pen. We think a fox may have taken him. We're all feeling very sad.
Lovely scene.

Great shot and well tilted! Sorry about the gosling/fox. We do not have any thank goodness (about the only thing the settlers didn't bring!)

Beautiful serene evening, but I'm sorry to hear about Fumbles :(

When will they learn the fence is there to keep the bad guys out not keep small defenceless birds in - I blame the Chicken Run propaganda

Pretty scene...calm looking even with storm approaching...so sorry about your gosling. I hope it wasn't Mr. Fox that got him ;-( Maybe he just got out and went for a walk himself...(wishing that is the case.)

To me your photo has a "stone-hedge"- like quality to it -- that's the first thing I thought of when I saw the picture on the Popular Page.
Very Beautiful -- terribly sorry about Fumbles.
