Horse Tails and Fields of Gold

This afternoon I popped out to check the horses and later by special request, accompanied the youngest daughter while she rode round a local off road riding course.  The Children's Mother and I walked with the terriers while horse and rider pottered back and forth and jumped several large fences.

One of the fields had some clumps of what looked like young Horse Tails but I could be wrong.


Earlier I took this shot of a field of rape.  It's not the picture I was wanting but I keep losing the correct one in the complex computing arrangements up here at the cottage.  Trying to move files between two semi-functioning computers is just too much for my weakened brain to cope with.....

  1. The Horsetails seem an appropriate plant to take pictures of whilst following the young one astride an equine!!

  2. I like the way the pine trees soften what I always think is a rather harsh yellow of the rape flowers. And the sun on the wall looks great too.

  4. I'm with Mo except that it's not sneezing but wheezing for me... I loathe the stuff! It does look pretty though.

  5. Rape flowers have a very sickly smell, although luckily I don't suffer with hayfever. I love the layered look in that photo.
