Isn't It Pretty?



Well, no, actually it's not pretty on a damp drizzly morning even in August. Yet there's still plenty to appeal to the senses. These views are what only a few people see as most, understandably, wait for clement weather to arrive. Some who do see more are those, like dog walkers for example, who are bound by routine and out in all weathers.



There have been afternoons even in this summer when the purple of the heather under strong sunlight has led to many an occasional visitor saying "Isn't it pretty?" And part of the scene has been the distant view of fields and field boundaries and scattered woods.


This morning though it's been the turn of mist and wet grass and hunched crows on the fenceposts. And a line of starlings adding interest to the sheep pasture which is dreary enough even when the sun shines. It's good to see a place under all conditions.
