From a Distance

I could have sworn I was swooped upon by a group of swallows, but I was too slow to catch them and captured this instead, so I'm resigned to this beautiful blue sky on my walk tonight.

Mixed weather today but great for the plants as they say, can't wait for a dry spell again tomorrow, can just about hear the grass grow already.

If we had a keen vision of all that is ordinary in human life, it would be like hearing the grass grow or the squirrel's heart beat, and we should die of that roar which is the other side of silence.
George Eliot
