A cold frosty September dawn with the morning sun punching through the azure blue skies . . .

 

And the smell of the earth after a summer thunderstorm . . .

 

Priceless

[Guest Macnas]

I like the changing of the seasons, like the ash and sycamore budding, woodies cur-cooing and doing those flap up and fall turns for the prospective mates, like the vixens screaming, the rookery getting loud and crowded, the whitethorn and furze forming tricolour against the green grass, the first silage cut, especially the smell of it as you wander down the road to the pub on a summer evening at 10 o'clock and the daylight strong and warm yet, like watching the swallows as they swoop and turn, the river with its trout and the bats begining to feed overhead, the first sycamore leafs falling, the curlews crying each to each, the sign of snipe as they settle in, the first pheasant of the season, the hard frosts and hope of woodcock, taking the guns and wandering out with my brothers after christmas dinner, leaving work early to have a last 2 hours on the last day of the season, the pause for breath before spring begins, the ash and sycamore budding...

Watching the deer in my garden early on a morning, and seeing somthing new every time i walk the fields and tracks and no junkies for miles :thumbs-up:

The lovely smells like fresh cut grass, rain on bone dry soil, ratting round a filthy broiler cabin or being downwind of a muck spreader and my personal favourite whippet thats rolled in fox shit or a rotten carcase

I love sitting on the river bank in summer at dusk,waiting for the last of the light

to fade before I have a go for some sea trout.

Just sitting there in silence watching the bats,sand martins,swifts and swallows

flying back and forth,stocking up on insects for the night.

Seeing the rings on the water surface as the trout and parr feed greedily

before the darkness comes.

When the darkness does arrive the sea trout become active,rolling and splashing

on the surface,the ripples they cause spreading out across the pool,finally lapping

up the shingle on the bank.

 

I've not got long to wait.
