A speculative visit to a regular haunt paid rich dividends a little while ago with a spectacular #sunset, & with the added bonus that I had the place to myself apart from a few folk on the distant summit of #RoseberryTopping #stormhour #northyorksmoors #clevelandway #landscapephotography #landscape

Circle border in #mylittlegarden (yes I know it's a grand name for a small space, but it is a circle!) The central water bowl has been very popular in the drought
