The Pen Ponds is my favourite area for walking and it brings the best out of the autumn gold.
There was ice on the ponds today and you can see the birds standing upon it.
At this point my attitude is very much subject to a paradigm shift. When I went on this walk a few months earlier I was totally wrapped up in the mindset of getting myself better. Now I feel more relaxed and able to enjoy the walk, the day and Kitten's company for what it is. Only the pain from the stent throws a bit of a shadow over the light but that is all manageable.
There was lots to watch today including a charge of deer across the park the speed at which I don't think I have witnessed before. My camera is not good enough to the capture the detail, so I didn't even bother trying. However, the view is worth showing for its own sake as you look to the Sheen gate of the park from the Pen Ponds.
It's amazing to see the difference in 150 miles. The park certainly autumnal, but here in Wales the first snow is gently falling.
ReplyDeleteIt is lovely to know that Richmond Park is as important to you and your little family as it was to us when you and your sister were growing up. Love Cymraes
Walks with your beloved, absorbing stunning views, ever-changing so always fresh to discerning eyes; arranging special treats for a son & daughter that they'll always cherish & never forget... all truly beautiful.
ReplyDeleteLest some of us ever forget or become blinded to what life is really about, we needn't look far as these moving pages of your blog serve to remind.
Thank you for sharing all of this. - Stay strong & very best regards to both of you!
I can remember taking a walk in Richmond Park back in the 70's with your Nan, Mam and Dad. It was a beautiful day and we came across some deer. I had never seen a herd of deer before and was terrified, I thought they would stampede, so I took to my heels in the opposite direction. I turned around to find everyone laughing at me. I have never lived that down.
