That is so beautiful, and lovely swans. It doesn't get that sunny in the summer here! At the moment it's still the bleak midwinter here, below freezing, very windy and frequent snow showers. That photo has warmed me up ☀️ Thank you 😊

[Blackbird8 in reply to HungryHufflepuff]

Thankyou Huff It certainly was our warmest day this year . I'm personally hoping for many more and soon 💙💜

[Lyd12]

I want to frame it and have it on my wall! Where is it?

[Blackbird8 in reply to Lyd12]

Its Hatchet pond in the New forest in Hampshire 💜

[Lyd12 in reply to Blackbird8]

I thought you were in the New Forest but when you said it was warm I begab to wonder if I had missed something. It is two degrees here this morning with snow forecast. Winter never lets go easily! Love Iris x

[Blackbird8 in reply to Lyd12]

It's a sudden change today in the weather a bitter wind but still blue skies have appeared..Sending some warm sunshine your way 🧡

[Blackbird8 in reply to watergazer]

It's a little colder here today few blue bits in the sky but nothing like yesterdays glory 😊💜

[Izb1]

Oh! you lucky girl, to have a place so serene to escape to is wonderful and good for the soul x

[Blackbird8 in reply to Izb1]

It's the best place even in summer to find a tree to sit under 🧡

[katieoxo60]

I can just feel the sun on my face from the picture , the swans are so elegant.

[Blackbird8 in reply to katieoxo60]

They are majestic 🧡

[Jaybird19]

Lovely . Blue sky and sunshine again. What time of day ,? the sun was quite high up for winter, but I noticed tonight it was still light at 5.00pm, The cruellest time of year -all promises of spring but coldest and hardest for the wild animals and birds.Does your camera have the facility to put the time and date on ?

[Blackbird8 in reply to Jaybird19]

Sun not high at all Jaybird my position was from the ground looking upwards ...I guess around 2.30 ish but I don't really tend to look at the time when out and about...I know I had eaten lunch so who knows lol ...its still light until at least 5.30 ish here so spring round the corner 🙂

[Jaybird19 in reply to Blackbird8]

And it was the colour of the sky . The intense blue made me wonder.You do live in a different world to most of us being out and about in the countryside while we are still in our little boxes looking out.

[Blackbird8 in reply to Jaybird19]

It's safe where I am i dont see anyone apart from my husband so easy to wander about x that's how I like it

[Jaybird19 in reply to Blackbird8]

Blackbird I am not being critical Just envious ! Its another world to me and your lovely photos can show it to us all . I am lucky although I cannot go far I can look at trees , birds and skies , but no water unfortunately and certainly no wildlife.(apart from a persistant squirrel )You have shown us deer, donkeys ponies charging cows with tails erect , and a seal too. It's all new to me and I love it and look for more each day.

[ninelives]

Beautiful photo.I could look at it for ages and still find something new.

Just what I needed as himself dropped a glass container with cereal in and have got sultanas/ glass in the most unlikely places in the kitchen !

[Blackbird8 in reply to ninelives]

Sorry that made me laugh out loud regarding the cereal ...but not the glass bit ...be careful treading in bits glass can scatter for a fair distance...Have toast and jam for brekky 😂💙

[Alberta56]

Beautiful, as always. 😊😊🧡🧡

[Blackbird8 in reply to Alberta56]

Thankyou ever so much Alberta 🧡🧡
