Going for a walk

I have to say this was a first for me – taking the cat for a walk?  It  may also be a first for the guy because he was laughing all the way down the road.

The 80136

The ‘ 80136’  pulling into Crowcombe Heathfield Station, one of 8 stations on the West Somerset line which runs the 20 or so miles between Minehead and Bishops Lydeard just outside Taunton. The delightful settings surrounding the line include The Quantocks – an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the edge of the Exmoor National park, the Brendon hills and some stunning coastal scenery looking across the Bristol Channel to the opposite coast of Wales.

Autumn colors

Branch colors

Silvers and colors

Deadly colors

Its difficult to believe such a pretty, colorful plant can be so deadly!

The Cloth Seller

This fellow was a real character! He was so proud of his skeins of cloth that even when no-one was there he still folded, stroked and tended them like like they were living things. I believe he was struggling in this open air market but I wished him well and hope he profited from the day.

Autumn is here . .

. . . and I am aware that time and work have a priority over my ability to go out and take pics of this years wonderful display of color in the trees and hedgerows.

To ease the guilt somewhat I have spent a few minutes reflecting on some of last years images and feel the need to post these as a reminder of what I should be doing.

and another wonderful site at this time of year - practising for the 'Big One' to come very soon
