The view from my window

There are times when my first thoughts are not repeatable...

The second and third thoughts kick in... (Terry Pratchet for those not in the know)...

Nah, she's fine. Just having a really good dust bath. And no, she didn't get run over...

What is she? One of your chickens or something else?
(Eyesight not what it used to be!)

I can't make it out either. Looks like a spotty carrier bags been dumped on the floor

 

[TastyReuben]

It’s a chick…, er chook, rolling in the dust!

 

[Timenspace]

And no, she didn't get run over...

That's good! But like the other members I wasn't sure what it was, or who it was, reading 'she' made me assume is one of the chooks...

 

[SatNavSaysStraightOn]

She's a very big chicken. Her breed is a Speckled Sussex. We call her Ptarmigan.

Gorgeous summer morning sunshine.

From my brother’s window, at his fishing cabin:

The view from my lower floor windows is blocked to a great extent by some large trees. So I made an image a little bit past those trees while the hay mowing was taking place. You can see my hay field and my woodland beyond. I even included a tractor busy cutting the hay.

Not only a compelling place but a great photograph.

I wish I could wake up and look at this every day!

Yes it is my hay field and my woodland. I'm not a farmer but I do live on a small farm in the country. When we were young we kept horses so the hay field was their basic food supply. The horse pasture is just South of our house. The hay field is to the East. These days my horse hay gets sold to a zoo. Apparently, like horses, wild grazers can't handle much alfalfa. So our hay has very little alfalfa and is mostly timothy grass, just the ticket for the zoo.

I prefer living in the country over the city. There is a small city 20 miles to the North so we can go there pretty easily if we need to do something there. We enjoy privacy, serenity and safety out here. I'm sure it is the same for UK farms.
