Adventure Into Nature

I was struggling to come up with a title for this blog so I asked Emma.  She came up with  'Adventure into Nature' - not bad eh!!! 

Today Dan and I went out carpet buying.  

Yes, we have eventually ventured out and bought our new hall carpet. 

I have for a long time hankered after a red carpet and today we got it and I feel quite excited about it :))

Our hall has been decorated and this is about the last thing to do to finish it off. 

So hopefully in a couple of weeks I'll have a hall to be proud of.  

Then this afternoon I decided to go for a nice long walk - all by myself.

 I was out for around 1 1/2 hours and really enjoyed it. The sky was blue, it was lovely and warm in the sun and the birds were singing their wee hearts out :))

I of course took my camera with me - you know I don't think I could go for a walk without my camera, I'd be scared I missed a prime photograph :))

Here are some pictures of what I saw on my walk.

This is the path I walked along.

 The gorse bushes are out in full bloom. 

When I got to the end of the walk I turned around and walked back the way I had come. Sometimes you miss things and need to go back to catch them.

 I did see some unusual flowers.  I've no idea what the above is but it was very unusual. 

The only trouble was when I took this picture I got stung by a nettle - ouch!!!!

!!

And this unusual leaf formation. Isn't that amazing?

 This is our local cemetary and I love how the tree overhangs next to it.

I really love how these wee white flowers are carpeting the grass. 

There is so much beauty out there for us to see (and take pictures of) it's a real shame to not take advantage of it. 

Hope everybody has a lovely weekend.
