reminders

the granite quartz and crocuses mark the spot where Sophie, one of our dogs, was buried two years ago. It has been very dreary for several weeks now but there are signs of some colour appearing in the hedgerows.

snowdrops

there are an amazing number of snowdrops around this February. These are a local variety with large flower heads and an upright god fearing habit.

Spot fishing

contemplating a death defying leap across this raging torrent

the meadows

Greenscombe meadows looking very green. Devon in the far background (still). This is one of Cornwall wildlife trust's reserves (see link). We will be back looking for orchids and butterflies.

Calstock Dog shows

the Calstock family dog show. This little lad got a special mention, as did Harriet in the crossbreeds. Poor judging in my opinion.

february evenings

a very fiery red sunset this evening and the buzzard flying lazily away.
