Five days of rain gave way to an evening of sunshine and intense warmth on Friday. The grass was tall and beautiful. Mother Nature does marvelous things; I love when she is left to her own devices.

  32. after getting that new camera, you never fail to amaze us with those photos.

    yes nature might be naturally beautiful but from focus to framing, it's beautiful!

  36. Hi Sandy
    Great pictures and I do agree with your last sentence.. We have a small field that is behind our house... this field is surrounded by other houses which all back onto it... at one time the field was used as a play area for local children which was great.. until the night time when older kids would abuse the field and the gardens it backed onto... I campaigned to get it gated off... and left for the local wildlife to use... now 10 years or so on it is a little haven for all kinds of things. foxes mate and rear their young under a neigbours shed, hedgehogs over winter there, frog and toads live in the long grass... wild flowers and weeds have taken over and this as attracted the birds and bees.. bats are now seen more often flying over at dawn and dusk hunting winged insects.. I do hope mother natures is allowed to stay so close by looking after this small area.

  37. Yummy shots. Those lightly colors somehow awake my appetite. Or maybe I should just have breakfast already ;)

  38. I would love to lie down on the soft downy grass. We have similar grass here in New Zealand, but not on such a large scale as yours.

    beautiful photo of nature.

    Are the grass made into hay>

  40. Sandy: I do like that second shot of the grass, nicely done.

  41. What a beautiful world!! Pictures taken with love!

    ReplyDelete
  42. Sandy I could not agree with you more. Our world would be so much better if we let nature take her own course and we learned to live with her rather than change or challlenge her. Your photos are wonderful, I would love to walk along that road to that meadow at dusk. Thank you so much for sharing your world.
    Blessings and smiles

  56. If I had my way, there'd be 'natural habitat' all over my little lot, but the town would come, cut it down and overcharge me for it, or fine me, or both.

    ReplyDelete
  57. Oh wow! That first photo is heart-stopping. How beautiful!

    That lush greeness is the best part of spring, Sandy, and what I anticipate most dearly each year. I love your photo of the lane. There's something about it that invites a stroll.
