This week has been a whirlwind with some happy and sad moments along the way, so thank goodness I now have regular walks along the Fen with Tia, passing the time of day with other regular walkers and able to just have that moment where I can openly sigh and move on to the next thing. So my five for this Friday that I am sharing with Amy at Love Made My Home's Five on Friday, starts with my favourite capture of the week. The last field of wheat that I can see around here with the gorgeous red of the fluttering poppy. Its petals will soon flutter away like a butterfly's wings leaving behind the pretty seed head to scatter around the harvested field..
My second moment was to smile at the discarded buckets from the farm workers. Just waiting for the next morning when they will be back to pick the budding gladioli. This particular field's blooms are a lot later than its neighbours - and no portaloo/potty here! (If you are wondering what on earth I am talking about, you can see what I mean here)
The third moment was to look up and see these little rainbows outlining the clouds as the sun prepared to set again. Beautiful jewels in the sky to stand for a moment and stare.
The horses were having their own family moment shading under one of the trees across the river bank. They weren't there for long but I was so glad that I managed to capture them before they went back to their stables.
My fifth moment had me chuckling to myself. The large mound of branches, foliage and other discarded material probably being collected for a good bonfire, maybe for Guy Fawkes Night. Don't hang about little sheep, there may be a BBQ!!
So that's my five this week. The weekend will be filled with a trip to James Herriot Country which I hope to share with you next week. I can't wait to see all the autumnal colours in Yorkshire!
Until then, have a wonderful weekend and week and...
HAPPY OCTOBER!
Extra gorgeous photos, Chel. Enjoy the weekend.

HI Chel! Thanks for sharing those moments with us. Your photos and your words are beautiful. The rainbow coloured clouds announcing the sun set is such a precious moment. Bravo on capturing that! And those horses resting before going back to their stables.
ReplyDeleteWhen I read what you wrote about the little lamb and the pile of wood, I couldn't help but laugh. Thank you so much since I needed to laugh this morning.
Take good care of yourself and have a lovely weekend in Yorkshire!

ReplyDeleteI love the capture of those horses and foals and that lovely coloured streak across the sky! Have a great weekend, Chel!
ReplyDeleteLovely photos. The little rainbows in the sky are called "sundogs", they occur on either side of the sun when it's low in the sky at about 22 degrees from the sun and on the same level.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos!! Thanks so much for stopping by!!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Deb

Your shot of the horses is so lovely...the feet with the furry tufts are so cute! And the fuzzy baby...too darling for words.
ReplyDeleteJen
Chel, Oh my goodness ... these are wonderful moments you've captured. I love, love that first one with the red poppy, and I'm always drawn to sheep photos. Every picture is exquisite. You have a good eye!
ReplyDeleteWishing you a beautiful weekend...
Brenda
just beautiful….
ReplyDeletethank you, xxxxx Ale
I love your walk pictures - so rural and natural. Unfortunately, my walks are all urban - no sheep or fields of wheat here, but I am lucky to have some green spaces in our neighbourhood. If I squint my eyes enough, I can imagine I am in the fields of gold far off in the countryside!
ReplyDeleteYou're such a blessed soul, my darling Chel, I'd love to have you nearer and hug you just now, in this moment !
ReplyDeleteYou portrait all the most beautiful things we can enjoy in Nature, thank you !
Have a most beautiful end of the week
with heartfelt gratitude and much love

I LOVE that poppy picture! It is so effective.
ReplyDeleteThat first picture is amazing! I hope next week will be more peaceful for you.
ReplyDeleteI love your pictures, especially the first one and the horses.
ReplyDeleteLovely. So excited for the next post. :-)
ReplyDeleteCarla
Beautiful scenery that you captured so well. The photos could be framed. Hoping your week improves and thanks for visiting.
ReplyDeleteSuch evocative photographs! They are all wonderful - I am now on a mission to see a field of gladdies. Safe travels up north!
ReplyDeleteWhat a delightful post. Such lovely moments and images!!
ReplyDeleteLovely photos, Chel, that sheep looks as though it's up to no good! xx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful moments captured forever...:) Love them all! As soon as I read the name James Herriot, I recognized his name. I have one of his children's books around here somewhere! I look forward to that post. Have a delightful visit!
ReplyDeleteStunning poppy photo Chel, I love the horses, and I agree with Alison, that sheep definately looks dodgy! :-)
ReplyDeleteLove the photos and the whole idea of 5 on Friday!
ReplyDeleteLovely photos. I am intrigued by that rainbow. I saw something like that a while ago for the first time, but sounds from what you say as if you see them quite often. Beautiful., anyhow!
