A Sunday walk

Last Sunday we had some pretty weather, you never know here, it changes by day from sunshine to whole days of rain but that is autumn. So when the weather is nice you have to go out to enjoy it and we had a walk in the neighbourhood, starting over the dike.

.We passed the riding school where always only girls can be seen having a ride.

The mornings can be chilly in this season, so he had his jacket on.

The Birch trees have grown skewed because of the winds blowing from the open water behind the dike.

I like their characteristically bark, marked with long horizontal lenticels, which always seems eyes looking at me.

  1. Wow! That's a creepy thought! But you're right they really do look like eyes. Now I'll never be able to walk in a birch forest again without looking at them looking at me. :-)

  2. Yeah, the trees do look like eyes looking n watching - sounds like a good movie in the making. We have had some excellent weather as well and great walks and picnics - I know, it won't last, so I am making the most of it as long as it does. Have a wonderful day Marianne :)

  3. I think that we share similar weather, and girls riding horses too - you were right to make the most of some 'pretty' weather.

  4. I've never noticed that before with birch trees. I'll never look at them the same now knowing they are looking back at me.

  6. Yes, they really do look like eyes.

    The horse must appreciate the extra cover.
