We hadn’t been since June 2015.
Steep climb up, gorse bushes and dead bracken –
most gorse bushes dusty and flower-less
but a few full of flowers.

Sky larks (singing their hearts out);
below us the steep valley
surrounded by layers of hills west and south, near and far
and more, east and north as we circled round the top;
two kite gliding gracefully around;
waterlogged grass in places,
filtering down to rushing small river below,
baa-ing echoes rising,
and sight on the far side of the valley of sheep standing in order –
a sheepdog or two apparently at work.

Good to see you so active with these recent rambles, Rhiannon. Another enjoyable walk with you. I like the images of the kites gliding and the sheepdogs at work. Happy Easter to you. Paul

thank you, Paul, and a happy Easter to you too.

It still is somewhat difficult getting out, though limb and muscle mobitilty isn't a problem thankfully. Very thankful to be doing so, and as you see some lovely times. Rhiannon

Go walking in beautiful countryside as you read Rhiannon's wonderfully evocative Spring poem, which is Pick of the Day! Please do share and retweet if you can!

Thank you! I love trying to get the sense of depth in photos if possible in that sort of situation. Yes, skylarks are a delight! Rhiannon

Hi Rhiannon,

isn't it great to be out and about? Although hard going it sounds like you had a wonderful view and those photos capture so much of the beauty of your poem.

Congrats on the well deserved pick of the day.

Jenny.

Thank you, Jenny. And brighter and warmer weather increases the pleasure does't it? Rhiannon
