Posing Pair

Had to wait in for a delivery this morning (new flooring for my study), then a tradesman this afternoon so no chance of going anywhere far.  We did manage to go for a short walk down to the River Isla and I was delighted to meet this pair of ponies on the way.  There were two others in the field too, where there had only been one before, so a real treat for me:-)

Apart from the ponies, there were lots of interesting things to see, such as a buzzard being attacked by a crow, loads of raspberries ripening in the hedgerows (including a delicious golden variety!) and masses of wildflowers.  A lot of Himalayan Balsam too, which is really pretty at the moment, but a very invasive plant if it gets into your garden.

The weather was its usual grey and dull, with spots of rain.  Not much of a summer yet:-)
