Bambi, Pinka & Co.

 A stunning walk after a night of rain.



 The last view I was expecting while walking behind the church was a young deer merrily grazing and forgetting the world around it.













Normally they are as shy as can be and even the hint of a footfall meters away will make them buck to safety. This one had to be reminded by me making a few clucking noises. By now she has become alert to me being behind her.












There she is...what a beautiful little thing. Eyelashes to be envied and a gentle expression  to make the thought of eating venison abhorrent !    

Don't you just want to go and sit with her?










 From the pleasant to the surreal. We have had a night of rain that nobody has seen before. My neighbour this morning told me that he measured 55 mm of rain the likes of which he has never seen before in his rather long lifetime.  The fields are all water logged and from the shape of those clouds, will be for sometime more.









  Gosh, a river promenade indeed. Normally there is only  a trickle of water in there and far from this volume which tends to dwarf the lane next to it.













The runoff from the fields make this stream, which will become part of the Pinka swell up in size.  Apart from the water's destructive force it does create some awesome images.
