[Thepainterswife]

Omg ! That is amazing !! That should definitely be on a calendar Bb . Have you ever been on the Countryfile calendar ? You definitely should be , your photos are truly stunning 🤩 x

[Blackbird9 in reply to Thepainterswife]

No I don't enter competition I do it as a hobby no more than that.. I'm a fairly insular person when it comes to it ❤

[Biofreak]

Wow. Fabulous ❤️

[Blackbird9 in reply to Biofreak]

Thankyou ❤️

[Biofreak in reply to Blackbird9]

You have taken so many amazing pictures. Have you had any made into canvases to adorn your walls at home? I've had about 4 of our holiday photos of the sea and hills made into canvases for our living room wall but I must say ours aren't a patch on yours. Yours would look amazing on any wall.

[Blackbird9 in reply to Biofreak]

No I'm afraid I'm pretty minimal in hanging pics on the walls as I am with furniture around my home ..I save them to CDS on the computer if I want to see them ..The walls at home are so thick I don't want to damage them..

I'm glad you have your memories of holidays around you 🥰

[Biofreak in reply to Blackbird9]

Well these days we can't go walking as we used to because of my husband's breathing difficulties so it's my way of bringing the nature and the memories to us. I sometimes just sit and appreciate the memories they bring back and they're the source of many conversations between us both.

[leo60]

Funnily enough, I was watching Countryfile announce the winners for this year's calendar, and I thought of you BB! I thought that most of the so called winners were not a patch on your pictures. We are so privileged to have you post such stunning photos and this is really a stunner, but be careful!😘 Thank you xx

[Blackbird9 in reply to leo60]

Ahhh very kind of you to say that .. I was hiding way out the way and they are more scared of humanity than we are of them totally safe but if not I can run and climb a tree 😂😂😂

[leo60 in reply to Blackbird9]

They are especially wonderful close up. When out riding they ignored the fact that there was a human astride the horse and we could get right up to them! Xx

[Alberta56]

Gosh- awe inspiring. 💖💖💖

[Blackbird9 in reply to Alberta56]

Isn't he just beautiful 😍

[Patk1]

Wow! So beautiful x

[Blackbird9 in reply to Patk1]

He most certainly is 💜

[Karenanne61]

Beautiful! So majestic. Thankyou. Can't wait 'till next week when we visit the New Forest.

[Blackbird9 in reply to Karenanne61]

Ahhh these ones are off grid a bit if you like to get lost find your way to Hawkhill enclosure and just mooch your way round ...you can't miss them if you walk in the woods 💜

[Mooka]

Wow

[Blackbird9 in reply to Mooka]
