It was a bit touch and go whether I had a dry walk or a wet one. I'd best take the brolly with me, just in case. Good decision. There were three showers during the two hour walk. It was lovely and sunny to start with. I have photographed these two trees before. Couldn't resist them again. You can't have too many photo's of trees.
Sometimes I see a tree that is not a perfect shape. This one is an oddball. It looks scrappy with small branches sticking out everywhere. Like an unkempt mop of hair.
I heard a noise overhead, getting louder. There were two of these helicopters. I missed the first one but got the second. We get a lot of helicopters and light aircraft flying over here. The helicopters are usually Ospreys or Chinooks, sometimes Police. This one looks like it's military.
The sun didn't last, and the clouds came over. My lovely Van Gogh sunflower brolly I bought from York last year kept me dry.
I've just looked out of the window and there is a hedgehog scoffing the food I put out. They come every night now. Last night I saw two together. Most of the ducks have gone now, just three left. The same thing happened last year I remember.
Have a good weekend. Thanks for popping in. Toodle pip. ilona
That looks like an apache helicopter. We get them flying around sometimes when war games are taking place.
ReplyDeleteI have to say I couldn't be bothered to carry a brolly on a walk. In winter I wear a woolly hat, and my jackets all have good hoods. I gave up on brollies full stop as I kept leaving them on the bus when I was a teenager starting work. I bought a bright lemon yellow one - can't fail to notice THAT I thought . . . but no, first trip out, I left it on the seat! Never had one since.
ReplyDeleteCarrying a brolly is a nuisance when out for a walk. I sometimes put a smaller fold up brolly inside my rucksack which will only come out if it rains. I hate getting the full force on my face when it rains. Hate the spots on my glasses. A bigger one, like the sunflower brolly, I wrap the cord around my wrist and let it dangle. I sometimes carry a camera that way. Ideally the only thing I carry is a map.
