But on the way home from dropping O at school this morning, I stopped at the very innermost bit of Epping Forest, just a mile from home, and got out of the car to chat to the geese and ducks for a couple of minutes.
The mist and shadowy landscape is so beautiful at the moment. It's still relatively mild. And the smell of rich, damp earth was intoxicating. If I could have bottled the smell I would.
I only stopped for five minutes, but that's all you need sometimes.
Lovely pictures. We've yet to have mist in my neck of the woods this year...or perhaps we have but I've been too blurry eyed to notice!
ReplyDeletewhat beautiful, atmospheric pictures. I am waiting for a parcel to be delivered, then I plan to go for my own 5 minutes in the mist. (Hoping that arrives soon!)
ReplyDeleteI've just walked home in the mist/twilight & have been thinking how very lovely it is...
ReplyDeleteMisty mornings are the best :D
ReplyDeleteGosh lovely photos - I love beautiful mornings and you are so right - 5 minutes can be enough.
ReplyDeleteYesterday was a good day to pause for five minutes. I agree about the mist, was out taking pictures of cobwebs last week, up here in our neck of the woods. Also hung out what will probably be one of the last laundry loads. That earthy smell you mentioned, ah, heaven, and it's in the sheets now! By the by, made your Amish oatmeal the other morning (waking early is now a bonus rather than a curse). It was a huge hit and is demanded daily. Thanks for sharing. Karen in Scotland
