It's 4 years since Bran crashed into my life, so I thought I'd do a then and now post.
There were technical issues. But at least he grew into his paws πŸ˜‚

Nice one. I made one very similar several years ago, I believe it was from the wee spit in the left foreground.

Hiding in plain sight. Another from the gorgeous woodland in Borrowdale where Autumn is really doing autumny stuff at the moment. The oak ar still a week or so from peak the birch are at their best.

One from a gloriously Misty morning in Borrowdale. With autumn coming on strong, I think I'll be based here for the next few weeks!

Lovely that Mike.
I came very close to heading to Manesty on Sunday but I got waylaid by Cummacatta!

Two and Two part two. Or actually, this is part one and my previous photo is part two. Same 4 main protagonist trees, photographed in a rush before the mist buggered off and I had chance to work the scene. I much prefer the previous image. see comments

Nice, Mike. My latest was by Coniston. In fact it was about 10m from my van on Coniston Hall campsite! Some very rich pickings to be had along there!

Two and Two. My first and hopefully not my last misty autumnal woodland image of the season.

Quite a nice wee scene. Getting to it left me with battle scars. Well, scratched legs! The joys of the well off piste πŸ˜‚

Golden Misty Morning.
Looking down into a beautifully Misty Langdale from Lingmoor.

As a British person, so not 100% sure, but I thought that this is precisely the reason why you have the 2nd. Obviously, I could be wrong, so I'm more than willing to be educated.
And no, I'm not advocating gun violence, but defence against a tyrannical government has to be better that school shooti

It's not debatable. An attack on a sovereign state, especially one considered to be at war, is an act of war.

But let's look at it another way. Russia bombs a US nuclear site, is that to be considered an act of war, or just an "operation "?

I made the mistake of parking on White Moss a few years ago, cost me 11 quid for a little over 3 hours. Never again.

Hmm, isn't an "operation" in this context, a part of an ongoing war? Or even a declaration of war?
Surely attacking a sovereign nation is an act of war, one which can't be prettied up by the use of flowery words such as "operation".

I actually can't wait, one of my great joys in to just stand in the heather surrounded by a giant cloud of jubilant and busy bees!

Yep, I found a wee patch up on Holme fell 2 weeks ago.

A wee bit heart in mouth, I went up to see my tree last night. after being so gutted to see it obviously sick last year I've been a bit reluctant to go up there. But here she is, telling me not to worry, that despite being bark-stripped by the deer which often sleep under her, she's doing just fine.

Castle Crag and the rowan. Weather conditions mean this is by no means the finished article, more a scouting image for a future visit.
