Late Afternoon

The late afternoon sun called to us, and evidently the call was irresistible, as on with shoes and off we strolled again.

This time into the immediate woodland. There are a few tracks leading off from our clearing. The one chosen at random was a very attractive walk. Possible they all are - we'll find out in the next few days.

The sunlight through the trees, gnarled trunks and roots, fungi clinging to old wood, golden leaves already dropped on to the path, ...the blackberries we picked and ate - delicious!! ...all very tranquil.

Reluctantly we turned for 'home' ...but the sun was sinking lower in the sky.

Back at the tower we sat on the steps and watched the day end. With the end came many bird calls, a squirrel or three scampering for home, sounds of cattle in the distance, and a solitary hoot of an owl.

The sky changed, the air grew cooler ...

...and guess who cooked the dinner??!!!
