Rolfe 2 Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 Took the lurchers and terrier for a long walk around the rape fields in the glorious sunshine today. These conservation strips the farmers are oblged to provide are a haven for all manner of wild plants and animals. It's amazing what you can find in the hedge bottoms before the leaf and nettles obscure everything from view. I happened across this old milk churn that would make a wonderful planter in the garden (Next time i am up pigeon shooting it may come home with me in the 4x4). I also found where old "Brock" had set up home inside an old dried up drainage pipe which i hadn't noticed before. The thorn was in blossom...........and in one area the lichen had all but covered a section of the hedge.........just thought it made an interesting picture. Still trying to get used to what the camera (Nikon L120) can and cant do........like me....it has its limitations. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
