A short drive/walk in the Lincolnshire Wolds.

 The weather has been quite unpredictable, but a few days ago Popcorn and I enjoyed driving and having short walks along the way, around our usual haunts, on a pleasant early autumn afternoon.

A bridleway we used to enjoy.

Horses grazing in the late afternoon sunlight.


Sunlight lights up this cottage.

A lone tree on the horizon caught my eye in the sunlight.

Another "lone tree".

Hogweed set against the sky.

Looking through the trees to some Shetland Ponies.

I must try this path one day.

Crops already drilled here for next Spring. 


Not much Autumn colour yet but some trees just starting to turn.

This tree is in decline but still manages to produce a few leaves.

Low, late afternoon sunlight.  The cows are still out in the meadow but will soon go to
their winter quarters.



The last few photo's were taken from a road so I left Popcorn guarding the car.
Home then for tea.

Nikon Z6.2 + 24 - 70mm lens.

    1. The weather has changed a bit since that walk only a few weeks ago. Still an odd sunny day but more rain and winds now, but the Autumn colours are all starting now. I enjoy Autumn but it's always tinged with sadness as it means winter is just around the corner
      Thanks for visiting, Take care Mike

  2. What absolutely lovely views, David. I'm sorry I'm late here. The sunshine has kept me busy doing boat maintenance so I haven't had time to write or read blogs, but I'll try and catch up with my own life soon. Your photos tell the same weather story as we're having and your scenery is, as always, beautiful. Thank you for showing us more of your lovely environs. If I could live anywhere in the UK, I think Lincolnshire would be one of my first choices, thanks to you.

  3. You have captured beautiful skies and light in these photos. Of course the scenery is lovely in all seasons, but autumn seems to bring something special. Popcorn looks ready for adventure! Delightful post as always. Best wishes from Ann
