It's 7.30 am and there's a slight chill in the air, but the sun is showing through the early morning mist, which suggests that it'll be a fine warm day.
We walk through open fields, and the dogs have fun putting the bejeezus up a few surprised looking deer as the mist slowly begins to lift.
Here is where I once found a perfect stone-age tool, not far from this ruin. Then, as we turned a corner, I noticed Monty's hackles rising and wonder what on earth he had seen.
Oh my god, it's the bloody bull. What's he doing here?
Bok's the brave one of the two dogs, and went immediately to confront the old boy. Me; I turned around and slowly retraced my steps. I do know he's an old softie, but one ton of bull-muscle can be unpredictable.
So; another unremarkable early morning walk.
i love your morning walks!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! What a beautiful place you live in.
ReplyDeleteMagical and oh so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteElaine; did you know that your page is not accepting comments?
DeleteHello Cro, Sorry about the 'no comments', I decided that rather than carry the burden of guilt (for not having time to reply to them) I would avoid the problem. I now realise that was unfair. I will remove the block.
DeleteNow that IS a load of old bull! He's magnificent - from a distance! I don't even like crossing the field nearby where there's often sheep, let alone sharing elbow room with something like that guy ...
ReplyDeleteOn a previous occasion, when he'd escaped, they were trying to get him back into his field when he became extremely agitated; it was quite a performance! If he's left alone he tends to be OK.
DeleteWe had a similar morning here. Beautiful but eerie
ReplyDeleteThe early morning gave you very pretty pictures.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great photo of bull and dog. I have always been terrified of cows as well, and my fear has been recently justified by the attack of a cow on a friend of mine, which left him paralysed with a broken neck until surgery.
ReplyDeleteI would blow that photo up cro...it's a delight x
ReplyDeleteYikes. Not what you want to see coming out of an early morning fog.
ReplyDeleteWow! What an amazing walk! And the bull is scary.
ReplyDeleteWonderful photo, one majestic bull and one majestic bullheaded dog.
ReplyDeleteDid you have a red shirt on Cro...he is a huge bull and I would have done the same as you!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant photo of Bok and Brown Bull. Your weather looks a lot better than ours.
ReplyDeleteThere is something wrong with this picture because I can't see any snow.....
ReplyDeleteThe first pic is marvelously evocative, and I love dog & bull!!
