I did an extended walk today. Turned a five mile into a seven mile, by merging two walks together. I set off at 12 noon. The sun had been shining all morning but it was beginning to cloud over. It was a bit breezy but dry. I went to the park. The children's playground was busy, and the cafe was full of families getting their hot lunches.
There are several of these tall trees. I love the texture and colour of the bark.
I think there are some winds due later today. Bit over the top. Most people ignored it. Dogs like to walk in the woods.
The perfection of nature.
On the way back across the fields I saw a murmuration of starlings. This is the best picture I could get. They landed on the ground at one point, then took off again.
It got a tad windy the last half hour. I felt a bit battered when I got back into the village. Good to sit down with a coffee. Now I'm going to get something to eat. Avocado on toast with an egg I think. Simple and quick.
Toodle pip, ilona.
Beautiful pictures. You live in such a beautiful place, so much nature and places to explore. Thank you for always taking us along. 🤗🤗 Temperatures in the single digits this weekend here, but this coming week back up into the 40’s.
ReplyDeleteWhen the weather improves I shall be exploring a bit further afield. Thank you for your comment.
DeleteYou obviously love nature and live a frugal recycling life , so why don’t you believe in climate change and global warming
ReplyDeleteBecause it's part of a much bigger plan. Everything that happens is connected. One disaster follows on from the last one. Fear will spread at a rapid rate. Fear is the virus. The pandemic which will be the ultimate destroyer of human life.
DeleteWhat a load of cloblers
DeletePray what is cloblers?
DeleteA thought, Anonymous. What do you think is going on? Can you explain?
DeleteWhat do I think is going on?
Delete1. The climate is changing and it is due to mankind burning fossil fuels. Burning fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.This heats things up and has caused the change.
2. This in not part of a global plan, leaders are not part of a grand cabal - it is the result of cars, airplanes, people heating their homes, cutting down rainforest, increased livestock, use of cement etc etc
3. Some people monetize their somewhat unusual theories. A lot of people do not understand the laws of probability and cannot distinguish between causation and effect. If X happened after Y it doesn’t mean X caused Y. Y might be correlated to X or it might not.
4. It is human nature to try and make order out of chaos - and most people have not been thought how to think analytically. They jump to conclusions and feel comforted that they have found a pattern…in the same way people have seen the face of Christ in toast, a rabbit in a cloud etc
5. Confirmation bias
6. People pick and choose what someone says. For example, if some was of the view the earth was flat I wouldn’t believe anything else they said - even if they said the area of a circle was Ï€r2 I would check it elsewhere.
7. I could continue but suspect my response is going in the delete basket, so I will stop the list.
How’s that for an answer - certainly more credible than the global leaders are all working together! Putin, Biden, Sunak, Netanyahu, MBS, Maduro, Modi, Xi, Kim, Trudeau, Scholz, Tshisekedi, etc are all following the same orders?
OK, you've had your say. I am not going to enter into a conversation with you, neither will I publish any comments from others in reply. You and I are at the opposite ends, we will never meet in the middle, so no point in you coming again.
DeletePerfect Ilona…just perfect
DeleteDebi from Leicester.It was windy here yesterday as well,but I stood in my garden and breathed it in for 10 mins.I would have stayed out there longer but it started to rain so that put paid to that,lol.The photo of the tree bark brought memories back from when I was a child and we used to go out armed with some paper and a pencil and do bark rubbings.Taking car numbers in our little notebooks on the way!If it was the right time of the year we would come home with a bag of conkers or cones as well....I still collect these even now to make displays with!Thanks for sharing your photos.Nature is beautiful!xx
ReplyDeleteNature can give us so much pleasure, if we look for it. I went outside last night before bed time to check if everything was still ok. The wind was howling through the trees and the rain was being carried across the garden horizontally. I was wet in a few minutes. Much better this morning. Rain stopped and blue skies. Thank you for your comment.
