wow just got back from taking Fraiser for a walk - I just love this time of year, I really regretted not taking my camera with me this morning, we went for a long walk by the river- it was just so beautiful, several times on our walk my husband eric & i just stood in stunned silence at the pure beauty of nature. There was a slight chill in the air when we started off at about 8.30am but after 10 mins i was so warm the sun was shining, the sky bright blue & over the water was a haze it was stunning. We stood for a while watching several cows 'paddling' in the water next to a pair of swans- why do you never have a camera when you need one? I've said we'll go back tomorrow morning with a camera - but you can virtually guarantee it will be grotty weather tomorrow.

the trees haven't really started turning yet - still the thousands off shades of green, that makes eric chuckle as i always have to comment on as i find it so beautiful- if i try really hard not to mention this it makes him tease me even more as he knows I'm dying to say it!!! then when they start to change i get even more excited at the different colours - I truely admire artists who can paint trees to get the whole range off colours is amazing - if anyone has any paintings of trees - please share them with us
