I'm really still flying...

The day seemed to start slowly and all of a sudden we were on the final hours of daylight! We decided to spend some time in the Westridge Woods, and of course it almost immediately started to rain... but so what?

The sound of the rain was delightful as it hit the dry but still golden leaves on the beech trees, and we were both waterproof and close to home... it was lovely to be in the woods, in the rain.

I spied this feather, rain coated and lying on beech leaves. Fair to say, having not been in these woods for the past few months, the winter storms really beat the hell out of it. Trees down all over, and more ash being felled.

Natures way of promoting new growth. Have a fab weekend, folks.
