Dog Violets

A pretty miserable morning here in South Northumberland, but it brightened up when I found my first Dog Violet of the year on the banks above the Burn...

Patience is a virtue.....

Jack spent about 5 minutes waiting in vain for his breakfast to appear...... 

Frosty, Foggy........

We had a sharp air frost last light, and combined with a rapidly changing fog first thing this morning, made for interesting landscape over towards Hilltop Plantation.  #Slaley 

 Just before the sun rose over Hilltop Plantation yesterday morning.

The Moon was rising high over Muggleswick Common late this afternoon......  #cycling

Curious Fungi......

 Not really curious fungi, just common place fungi I see every Autumn in our field..  I was looking for a few perfectly formed specimens but very quickly became distracted and fascinated by a few that had gone over or been pecked..........

An afternoon ride down Hexham mid-afternoon today, dodging rain showers on the way.  A few chores and a little shopping, the sky cleared to a breezy, bright evening.  From Juniper to Slaley the clouds were gathering over Hexhamshire behind me....
