Morning walk

Up and out early this morning to catch the best of the weather; it really is the most glorious day here, really beautiful, the sun warm on your back. Took doggie with me, he was very patient whilst I took some pictures; he's low to the ground, though, and needs a bath now, the grass was soaking from a very heavy dew last night. We live surrounded by farmland, and once down the lanes, the views are far reaching. I spent a good five minutes just standig still listening to the birds singing, it was lovely. We were watched coming up the road by a big fat grey squirrel on a gate; he scampered off as the got got nearer, though. Lots of birds about; a lovely flock sweeping and swooping over the newly ploughed field. I wasn't close enough to see what they were, but it was pretty spectacular. The fiery coloured creeper is on the end of a stable block at the stud farm - quite startling in colour agains such a sky, as you came round the bend in the road. Something for the little one on the end of my house to aspire to when it gets bigger :)
