Holly's hood photographic trip

[hollydolly]

It's a Bank holiday weekend here (4 days off for many people)..so the mass escape for everyone was under way yesterday , so after I'd been to town, I drove around my rural neighbourhood.. and took some pictures ..thought you might like to see where I live.. I took all these pics within an hour including my little walk in the woods...

This next one is 2 bulls having a little set-to in the stream..but I was using my phone and the sun was right on me so I couldn't get real clarity...

a walk in the woods near my house...

tried to get closer for this baby squirrel..I was tip-toeing on the tarmac so as not to spook him, but a woman walking her dog came out on the opposite side and the squirrel shot up the tree.. shame!

LOL that would be the HAY then.. .In fact I think we've done remarkably well keeping everything so green given that we had 100 degree temps all of July..

Thanks Lara..I thought after all these years and all the photos I take of everywhere else we visit, it might make a change to post the photos of where I live...

 

[RadishRose]

Lovely trip Holly .... ❤

 

[Aunt Bea]

Great photos!

The size of the farm fields and the hedgerows in your photos reminds me of the area where I grew up.

Thanks!

 

[Ronni]

Such lovely scenery. I had to check your profile to remind myself where you lived because some of the lanes and paths under the trees look exactly like some of the Tennessee scenery here!

a walk in the woods near my house...

Well, I certainly enjoyed that walk

Of all the wonderful pics, this is my favorite

 

[hollydolly]

Well thank you all for all your likes, and comments, very much appreciated...

@Ronni, I live in the rural shires 20 minutes drive from North London, or 40 minutes (by train).. to Central London... ...or 53 hours if you want to be foolish enough to drive..

@Gary O' ...thanks for the likes for the woods..those were very quick photos taken yesterday..but as you can imagine, I have tons of pics from the woods from over the years, and I especially like to post them in Autumn .. which I will do in the next few weeks . WE have pheasants, and partridges, squirrels, and Muntjac in there..

...oooh and the odd little creature waiting patiently for a meal....

Autumn leaves are a weakness of mine
They glorify the trees
Love strolling a lane filled with them
They romance this soul
