Friday walk

It's a bit of a grey morning here in East Lothian, a quiet day, with soft end-of-winter colours across the landscape.  I do love them.  The willow tree in the foreground of this photo is just beginning to show a flush of pale olive green as it gets ready for spring.  Tilly and I went along the bottom of this field before walking around the pine wood on the right hand side.  As we reached the corner of the wood we disturbed a group of deer.  They bounded off into the wood.  They have the ability to completely disappear!  And then you see a head, with ears held alert, and they are standing in a group, watching and waiting to see what is going to happen next!  
By the time we came back around the pine wood, the deer were standing in a group, with two young fawns, in their pretty creamy coats, sitting like a couple of bookends in this tableau.
I glanced back to the mansion house, across the fields behind us, and then walked on home for breakfast.
I hope you have a good weekend.

The border in our tiny garden is in an in-between phase at the moment and not very colourful, but elsewhere there are pops of high summer colour and I have brought them together in my vase today. The running wave uses Blogger as it's vehicle and they are changing the way a post is created but unfortunately I cannot make the new format work. I can't progress beyond the title! I cannot navigate to the main body of the post to create text. The new template has no prompts for adding photos, weblinks, to format the text, change font etc. It may be my old MacBook that's as fault but I can't do anything about that!! Are any other IAVOM bloggers who use Blogger having the same problems? I have tried, three times, to contact Blogger through their 'Help' prompt and received no feedback or contact whatsoever. This post is using the old 'Legacy' format, which no longer permits any kind of formatting of text, and so after four attempts I have finally manage...

Early morning light

There have been some cracking early morning skies this week.  The sunrise has generated a strong rose gold light which has been picked up not only in the clouds but also through the silver-white grasses around the edge of the golf course. I always marvel at the clouds.  Constantly changing, formations that have never been seen before, never to be seen again.
