The sky was blue and even though there was a cold north east wind blowing, I decided it was time I went out for a walk down to the river at the bottom of our fields. I've posted this photograph of the flying ducks (just like the little ornaments your gran had on the wall) as it is my favourite photograph from today. I took my DSLR today and was glad that I did, the compact is great and nice and light to carry but you don't get this kind of shot with a compact!
More ducks, they were all swimming about at the edge of the river, but took off when they noticed me. I think they are more used to a different kind of shooting and are wary of people.
Here they are minding their own business until I pitched up!
And here are the sheep, studiously ignoring me in favour of a bit of autumn grazing. I love that tree, it is such good shape, proper tree shape, if you know what I mean.
And here is The View in November. I had to take it from the back kitchen window rather than from upstairs as we are using that room as a bedroom at the moment as we have had to evacuate our bedroom due to dry rot, it's a long story and the work won't be compelted until February. Anyway, my dressing table is in front of the window so I can't get close enough to take my usual View photo.
It was pretty frosty yesterday morning, the first time we have had a white frost this autumn, later it turned out to be a horrible wet, windy day.
