At mid-afternoon today the moon vied with the sun for
sky-space as we set out on a forest drive.
Along St. Leonard’s Road shaggy ponies in their winter coats availed themselves of fence-posts for scratching. While I focussed on them
Jackie photographed a cock pheasant that had crossed the road.
Anticipating a decent sunset we dropped down to Milford-on-Sea. The first three pictures in this gallery are mine; the last two by Jackie
who also photographed a couple on a bench;
The Needles and their lighthouse;
and, leaning on the car bonnet, a sitting duck.
Earlier in the day I had read more of ‘The Brontës’.
This evening we dined on succulent roast pork with crisp crackling; boiled new potatoes; crunchy carrots, firm Brussels sprouts, and tender red cabbage, with which I finished the Shiraz.
Lovely Knight. Always good to see you in a post.
The ponies look great in their winter coats! Thanks!
I have never been that close to a pheasant. Your writing is so pretty and descriptive, even your dinner is picturesque!
Love the pictures. Got a kick out of the sitting duck. Hope he doesn’t end up on the menu.
A nice gallery,
Beautiful sunset images. I particularly like the large photo with moon, clouds, and trees.
Tge photographer being the subject of another photographer 📸 🙂
Great photos today, guys! 👍🏻😊
Stunning photos by both of you. You know how much I love day moons and the sunset.
I think Jackie wins this time because the header photo of you is wonderful. If you ever put out a book of your photos, this should be your author photo. 🙂
Good to see a sitting duck. I see that you and the assistant photographer take a different view of sky contrast.
Beautiful photography both by you and by Jackie! <3
It’s nice to read of your enjoyable day. My love to you both.
Beautiful set of photos but it looks cold.
Looks like you had a good afternoon. Great shot of you.
Beautiful birds!
