TSS Photo of the Day
Re: The Great Photography Thread - REVIVED!
It had an Autumnal feel to the start of the day - cooler and damp, but the sun was shining.
Photos never really convey the mood of the Forest. However, it was beautifully quiet apart from the crunch of the gravel footpath beneath my walking shoes, the rustle of the wind through the trees and bushes and birdsong all around me.
Here are a few images I would like to share with you.
It is always a delight when I encounter my pony friends on a walk, so here they are...
Southern Ants' nests are a common sight here. This one, situated about twenty feet from the main footpath measures about 6 feet high by 6 feet wide...
Blackensford Brook, normally fast-flowing has been reduced to a trickle...
Thank you for looking.

Re: The Great Photography Thread - REVIVED!
Here is an autumn photo pointing away from our house to the end of the 8 acres and you can see the many oak trees and leaves:
And in the fall, the tasty Hen's Nest (Grifola frondosa) mushrooms used to grow at the base of the oak trees.
Above I mentioned the stables. On our property was the N. L. Litchfield stables built in 1932. We put up fences and a paddock for the horses that we had at that time:
Sheri and I both miss the open country but we sure don't miss all of that snow that you see in the pictures. Thanks for sharing your excellent pictures from the Anderwood Inclosure, Burley Vanessa and I hope that you and Sophia enjoy our pictures too.

Re: The Great Photography Thread - REVIVED!
Snow is a rarity here, so in some ways you were lucky to get some. I know you said you don't miss it, but I think in moderation it has a certain kind of beauty.
We are very fortunate to be living inside a National Park, a privilege we never take for granted. Being able to step outside of our house straight into nature is fantastic.
I am pleased you like the photos I post of our lovely walks.
Thank you for sharing yours.
