Country living...

A walk this morning from the small village of Welburn in the Howardian Hills, skirting the Castle Howard estate.

There were dancing trees...



...and a UFO...



The UFO plus mole hills...


The UFO in a neighbouring field...


...but we weren't interested...


...nor were we...


There is an interesting juxtaposition of village/farm life and incongruous yet attractive grandeur. The mole hills, the Mausoleum, the rolling Howardian Hills, the trees - the shapes all reflect and repeat one another. Even the sheep and the horses' rumps have that rounded solidity.

  1. Amber's reading homework was a story called Crinkum-Crankum by Margaret Mahy. The tree just looked like that! :o) It is a fanciful name for any object that is full of twists and turns! :o)

  2. I love those trees. It's one of the advantages to being here in winter - seeing the skeletons of trees.
