366 Photos - 149/366 - Saturday was yesterday

[byslantedlight]

Still a day behind... Just went for a walk around the hack track yesterday - it's a river of cow parsley, the fields scattered with buttercups and dandelions, lovely! *g* It was also supposed to rain all day yesterday, but instead was the most gorgeous summer's day.

There are critters in three of these pics too, though I guess the horses aren't exactly wild countryside beasts. The one looking all who, me? actually had a mouthful of grass hanging down either side when I saw her, but I fumbled my lens cap and was too late!

Hee that looks like a minty gobstopper hanging off that flower! Or is that just me? :D

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Wait... that's you hanging off the flower...? Your ballet is really something these days... *vbg*

[solosundance.livejournal.com]

LOL :D

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

You're here! *waves*

(Btw - it's your Game of Two Halves that I've been re-reading just lately - and thoroughly enjoying, of course. *vbg*)

[solosundance.livejournal.com]

Cool! I did enjoy writing that one, and roven's artwork for it is brilliant.

And haha my brain was reading Game of Thrones there for a sec...

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Oh, you remind me of dilemma - to watch Game of Thrones S4 or not? I seem to remember thinking meh after S3 (and after S2, but I came back after that too). Much drama and etc. but same old male-pov stuff in the guts of it... to bother or not bother... maybe it'll get better... or not... erm... (*procrastinates going back to work by thinking about this*)

Horses! And wild critters, too. Looks like a lovely, little stroll.

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Yes! It's not a bad little stroll around the place - and exactly a mile, which means I should do it more than once a day! *g*

They're a bit wild and definitely native and some of our snails are Roman - and quite safe from me - I have better uses for garlic :0)

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

I read about their Roman-ness when I visited Chedworth villa. A thousand gardeners are growling at the Romans... (*g*) These particular horses, on the other hand, are definitely not wild and probably not native, they're very much the domesticated variety (I live on a livery).

[fiorenza-a.livejournal.com]

The snails in these parts are hooligans and eat almost everything voraciously - we could do with a hedgehog infestation but it's years since I've seen one round here.

They've probably got a bit of native in them...and to paraphrase Gerald the Gorilla, if not wild, maybe a tinsy bit miffed? (Sorry - any excuse!)

[loxleyprince.livejournal.com]

Horses! YAY!!! :-)
How wild they were quite possibly depended on whether or not you'd brought carrots with you...

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

One was wild enough to try and bite my shoulder when I gently reached out to stroke him - but I don't think it was this one. *g*

[loxleyprince.livejournal.com]

Naughty horse!

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

That's what I said. And other things. *g*

[snailbones.livejournal.com]

Oh - purty! We were supposed to have rain too, and had the most gorgeous day - and likewise today. The forecast is mental... and the countryside is glorious! I love the 'Who? Me?' look on the horse's face. Too innocent by far.

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Hurrah for inaccurate weather forecasts (at least when they go this way...!) Glorious is the perfect word for the countryside at the moment - it so is! *g*

It definitely looks like spring now, in your photos!
They are so beautiful. You should make calendars or write travel books, incorporating the pictures.

And I think I can still see a couple of strands of grass hanging out of the horse's mouth. :)

Oh what lovely pics!
Love them all, especially the snail... Maybe I'm weird but I've always loved snails, even if they can be a bit of a nuisance as they happily munch on everything that comes their way... 😊

[macklingirl.livejournal.com]

I love the little snail! But the pictures are all wonderful. I love flowers and it sounds as if you had a wonderful day.
