May Day Walk with Ruby by phil_howcroft

May Day Walk with Ruby

Monday was a bank holiday in the UK (a public holiday).

It was quite a nice day, sunny but with a bit of a chill in the wind. Max temp probably about 18C out of the wind.

Anyway I took Ruby (our recently 'rescued' whippet dog) for her 'walk before her breakfast', but it was such a lovely morning we decided to go another walk.

There are quite a few pathways in our suburb of Nottingham that skirt around the local fields and paddocks.

This is an image SOOC showing my wife and Ruby walking down one of the paths. It looks very rural and tranquil, but it is only a few minutes away from Arnold town centre and suburbia.

Anyway this is how we spent our May Day morning a brisk and bright walk with little Ruby.

You may have noticed that you only ever see my wife on 365 either silhouetted on the beach or a little figure from behind ... either walking ruby or climbing sand dunes !!!! LOL ..She prefers it that way :)
A wonderful tranquil site Phil..reminds me of a path we have here near the river.

@patsyjphillips Thanks Patsy, it was a nice walk and it's strange how a path in Nottingham can look so similar to your path in USA :) . Thanks for you continued support :)

@kerristephens Thank you Kerri, I think the camera has made the location look better than it actually is :)

@cath Thanks Catherine, I do tend to go for long lead in lines from a relatively low angle :)

I love these paradise lanes, I used to know loads in York when we lived there and I took the whippets (we had 5 then) all over the show via them often on my bike (riding on the safe bits away from roads) with them trotting along behind me in a neat little row!

What a charming image, especially with your wife and Ruby to give it some scale.

What a nice shot! I love the feel of a" spring day stroll" you brought to this!
