What I saw on my bike ride today…an elegant gateway
Posted under iphone photography, What I saw today
… leading to a village church looking very fine in some much needed evening sunshine. I also saw my shadow, comedy long and thin against the tombstones, a herd of catting lowing in the next field and a glorious sunflare:
I saw the sea rescue helicopter go over and hoped it was just an exercise, a billion bunnies scuttling around, fields and fields of potatoes with their tops cut off (to stop blight?) and marveled at how they smelt like, um, potatoes. I saw hedgerows dripping with blackberries all a-ripening, and red berries a plenty. I smelt Autumn in the air.
And I saw a hare, zip out on to the track and zoom away over the hill. I tried to keep up but who was I kidding.
I love that second photo with the sunflare! Reminds me of this beautiful old cemetery in my hometown that I always mean to photograph when I’m home, but never get around to… Making a mental note to visit it next time I’m home!
Lovely pictures, must have been a lovely trip out… did you have the megaboys with you?
the second pic is gorgeous… very atmospheric.
No! not the “A” word – not yet – slow down… ?
I love cemetery photos – you live in cycling distance of some pretty places don’t you? :) I live in cycling distance of the Co-Op (about 50yds).
you are living in such a beautiful spot.
this time between seasons is quite special. it always makes me a bit melancholic, but i love that period of transition. and: oh, the light!
I adore the graves. I have a thing about grave stones they make me feel all at peace. I used to love grave rubbing when I was younger and can not wait to tak eht eboys, when they are a little older and more respectful
Spud, I am so very in awe at your lovely pictures!! Gorgeous!
What pretty photos – I love the one of the gate… when I see things like that, it always make me wonder what’s down the path.
