Late yesterday afternoon we went for lunch at a nearby village pub and after lunch late we took a stroll around the fields and farmland ..the pics of the village were taken around 5pm...the wheat fields and landscape around 7pm..and ..just walking another hundred yards showed a different light over the same land within minutes..


First some houses in the village, most of them look similar to these..

The village has only one little grocery store.. it;s situated in a house that was built in the 17th century...

Watching the antics of the biggest green Cayuga duck among the much smaller domestic ducks on the village pond..

Mr Cayuga is such a beauty he deserves a portrait of his own...

Now for the walk around the wheat fields... these were taken between 7 and 8pm so the light changes every few minutes..

A glorious Oak tree one of many ..overlooking the wheat fields..

Thank you AC...the colours here are fantastic...we really do live in an outstandingly photogenic area...

Shali..poohsticks is an old English traditional game where you throw little twigs over a small bridge at the same time, and then run to the other side of the bridge to see whose sticks the current carried faster.. simple childhood game that many of us played as kids but of course hardly known if at all to most children today tragically...:(. taken from the Winnie the pooh Books by AA Milne.. :D
 
Your Sunday pics are wonderful Holly, that duck is beautiful, never saw one colored like that before! My favs are the wheat fields, so peaceful and natural.

Well, if you happen to spot a bald-headed, skinny, pony-tailed guy dressed all in black skulking around the ducks, say hi - it will be me, because I'm moving! :untroubled:
 
Thank you everyone you're very kind.....:D just a few more of our walk around the village

This barn was directly in the shade so I couldn't get it too clearly..but if the sun had been in the opposite direction it would have looked fabulous

The barn is on the right of this pathway below..
