Very nice

Fabulous image Jilly. 👌

😂 😂

Thank you Dwight. Cheers, I hope you're keeping well.

You beat the algorithm. There should be a prize!

I've had a good day thanks IG. Went out hiking in the pouring rain, but that's why you get the good rain gear! Beautiful, pleasant day nonetheless.

I hope your weekend is going well. Take care. 👋

What a cutie. Well, no mistaking where the got the name!

Thank you Jilly 🙏

It's a great place to start. Leads up the mountain to a 6,000 year old cairn and over the ridge to another cairn of a similar age. Loads of nice little trails through the (unfortunately non-native) forest on the way back too.

If you ever make it over this way, I'd be more than happy to show you.

Thank you, very kind 😀

Got lucky with that one, cheers Sharon.

Thanks Neil. It's a great spot.

Winter's good for that here. You don't have to get up too early for the sunrise.

Nice one Mamady. Beautifully composed with nice layers of colour and subjects. 👌

Now that you say it I guess I have seen them in documentaries. I feel the same way about swimming snakes. I'd rather they just stayed on the ground!

2/2

The other I read was The Ministry of Time by Kaliane Bradley. Really enjoyed this one. A very casual writer which I didn't quite like at first but her style grew on me quickly. The characters are very well done. The ending was a bit loose but I find very few authors seem to do endings well.

This last week I read What We Can Know by Ian McEwan. It's shortish but I thought he repeated himself quite a bit in the first part. I was glad when it changed to Part Two which I found more enjoyable. A good read overall. I'm going to try Amsterdam.

1/2 ...

Nice picks Susan. I have Amsterdam on my list.

Thanks Susan. 🙏

I like to start in the morning but rarely before sunrise. I like my bed too much!

The sun rises late this time of year though, around 8:30 right now. This was taken about 9am.

Flying snake? I do not like that combination of words. 😬

Nice shot though!

Cheers! Anything that looks sulphurous must be tasty right?

Thanks. It's a favourite place. The start of many a hike.

Morning Susan. Hope your weekend is going well. I'll pop over to BlueBrewBooks when I have a minute. Looking forward to new recommendations. ☕ 📖 😊
