A Walk with My Camera.

Saturday, 25 May 2013

We British are so fickle when it comes to the weather. Of course, we are famous for moaning about it, and not so good at appreciating it when it does work in our favour. Well today, I am changing the trend and enjoying every minute of it. When the sun is out, so am I. So this morning I took a nice walk to the post office and went up to the hills with my buttock toning fit flops on my feet.

Everything looks so different in the sunshine so it doesn't require a lot of skill to take a decent picture, I snap away on my Nikon D40 when I get the urge, so here are the results:



I adore blossom trees, these are right at the end of my street.

Barbed wire screams countryside.







My favourite view in the world, just around the corner from me.





My favourite shot of the day!

The daffodils at our front door.

Now it's time for Pimm's in the garden!

I for one am thankful for the sunshine! For me it means picnics, Pimms and flip flops everyday. I hope you make the most of it...

A Taste of Country Living...

Sunday, 12 August 2012

Today I attended The Halifax Agricultural Show. It was actually my first time there which is quite shocking when I had lived in this town for 18 years before moving to Uni. I absolutely love events like this, because it reminds me why I love living in the countryside so much. It's great fun to see local charities, producers, farmers, shop owners etc all get together to put on a show for Halifax. The weather was nice too which was a bonus. So, what did we get up to?

                                My favourite Marquee was the Handicrafts...


Next year, I think I will enter the cake competition!

         Here I am with some Churros..yum.
       


 I loved this display..wonder why.



 They were showing all sorts of livestock like goats, cows, sheep, chickens etc.
 Me with a sheep...
They also had loads of tractors and vintage cars!


We also got to see a Bird of Prey display, the bee tent, rabbits and guinea pigs and some pretty nice Yorkshire farmers. All in all, we had a lovely day.
