Droplets of Water....

Snow & ice lingers,

 not rushed at all to de-thaw....

Castle to Mill

From the various views from Dunster Castle,

the descent down, took us on a walk to the Mill.

                                           

Butterflies attracted to much of the flora that was in full bloom. . . .

Lilies to Irise's. . . .

Getting closer. . . .

Winding pathways,

 beautiful flowering blooms on full display.

Even a bench for a rest. . . .

Finally reached the Mill,

only a small shop with not much to see,

 the walk well worth it though!

Just a Glimpse

Just love this combination of photo's, all taken on the Somerset Levels.

The sun trying to enter the daylight from behind the clouds.

The sun certainly did make some effort on that day.

All of the same scene but taken at different  zoom lenghts.

Very effective as a collage. 

A Quest.

Saturday, although the car started first time since we've had all this snow & cold icy weather,

I decided to walk to a Country Feeds store.

Would have been so quick in the car,

 but well aware the side roads were well iced up. 

Although it was quite cold with a slight chilly wind,

the skies were lovely & blue. 

 I took my time & quite enjoyed the trek.

The store had now moved into a much more modern building,

 but it was situated further away.

Fortunately, there was a slight shortcut with a footpath,

& as I looked behind me,

I noticed the  hills in the distance covered with its blanket of snow.

But venturing on . . . .

I came across a well frozen pool of water,

 which would normally be flowing into a stream close by.

At the end of the footpath, the Sun did not disappoint.

 

But in completing my quest,

 the bird feeders were able to be  replenished

with wild bird seed, peanuts & fat balls.

Much needed in this weather.
