This week's selection by Astrid is 'something we see everyday.' After a bit of thought I realised that what we see daily is the view outside our window. So I have selected a few pictures reflecting the changing seasons and sometime interesting things we see out of our window.
Starting in early March the farmer fertilizes his fields. He grows hay here each year.
After heavy rains in early March a lake forms on the other side of our view. We always love to see 'our lake' as it brings in masses of bird life, often mainly gulls but still lovely to see in the distance.
Then later in the month, if the weather is mild enough, the 'gypsy' cobs and their wagons often pass by.
Occasionally we are lucky to see something quite unusual like the year these two gentlemen decided to land in 'our' field.
Sometimes the council decides to work right outside our window. They always cause amazing traffic jams!!
Here a policeman is redirecting traffic due to an accident and the air ambulance landing - further down the road.
Then there is the haymaking each June. Often the farmer manages a second cut later in the year.
The cooler autumn weather brings mists over the canal on the other side of 'our fields'.
and colourful rainbows but sadly the end of the rainbow is never in our garden so we have not found the pot of gold.
As the weather cools down Autumn creeps up on us and the trees start to take on their gorgeous hues. I love the colours but know it means the year is ending and winter will be here soon.
Inevitably winter arrives and we watch the snow getting closer across the hills till it reaches us. Sometimes a light dusting and sometimes a very heavy snowfall. Each year it is different, but it has not been so heavy lately.
We have wonderful sunsets and stormy skies too. Each one different, no two the same.
