So true, Maggi, they are compulsive to watch and I nearly missed the train shot!

another nice walk, robin, loved the misty start and the puffs of seeds off on their journey of hope!

Cohan, it's great to know you enjoy the threads within threads and I love the idea of interweaving a story......the walks provide an amazing way of looking at things in a different light and so often when I think nothing is there a little scene is being played out! In the thistle seed shot I stood for ages waiting for a puff of wind to send them sailing but they clung on to each other waiting for the next puff....Jazzy got impatient for her walk so I had to go!

Luc, I do hope you had a good holiday
Did you go somewhere nearby? With all these ventures I feel as if everyday has become a bit of a holiday and I wonder sometimes what I was doing before
So good to know you are coming along and enjoying the sorties...yesterday I thought that even in up and down weather there is so much to see locally off the beaten track that I will never run out of places to go here

My holidays were ok Robin, but they were spent at home... sweet home...
Still, pix like yours give me a (good) holiday feeling... especially because I've visited Wallis quite often in the past...
must go back soon...

The Heren cow knows it, ruminating under the old seasoned tree, tasting the last blades of green grass, relaxing in the pale yellow rays of sun - Autumn has arrived.

It took its time, with warm sunshine holding off the changing colours of leaves but then the snow fell on the high peaks and signalled a drop in temperature with frosty mornings spreading the magic through the forest.

Colour stands out starkly in the late afternoon, red hips, blue sloes, golden grasses and green mosses spilling over a rock, draw your eye……

In the dark of the shadows a sunny spotlight displays the changing palette of leaves, green, yellow, brown and the final mix ends up on the forest floor – ready to be recycled.
