Ankle deep in autumn cast-offs.

Yellows greens and golden browns.

A natural choice for native flags

splashing around my boots.

Blends of fresh smells; new grass

fallen leaves; damp earth.

Bottle it for an exclusive

“Eau de toilette Pour Hommes.”

Going home, another kilometre

notched up with poem in my head.

Sounds like another reviatlising walk captured on paper! And that remembered autumna smell.

Reminds me of wanting to photograph the sound of the waves  and wind off the cliffs – also envigorating! Rhiannon

Every day the dog needs her walks. A good to keep a little fit. I've started measuring how far I go with the app on my phone so if I remember to take it I will have a camera now. Although I'm near a small market town there is plenty of green space and also a very lovely river (with beavers I'm told!). it's been especially pleasant recently with the good weather we are having.

Thank you for taking me on your walk Ed - I hope you noticed the new Inspiration Point this week?

I've been taking a break from 'Angel' it was taking up a lot of my thoughts, but I will get on with it very shortly as I want to finish it. 

Thanks for taking up my suggestion, I see there's been a good reaction. I'll try to come up with something, but it won't be about politicians 'cos they ain't got any (job requirement!)

Being inspired when out walking creates some of the best poems. I enjoyed reading yours.
