Thank you taken in the south of the Yorkshire Dales

[Ken Simm.]

I like the quirkiness of this. And the bonus is that I know the areas very well in this seasons as in the others.

[Wild Rose]

Been cycling: camping: walking in the dales; Lakes; Peak District for about 65 years now

What an incredibly beautiful place Wild Rose. I adore dry stone walls, such craftsmanship. Your words compliment your photograph perfectly.

[Wild Rose]

Thanks Christine - 100 miles from home through 'The Lakes'
We used to cycle here from Huddersfield and stay in the YHA's
Some call it 'Gods own County'

[Chris Shaw]

Well, it certainly looks heavenly to me :)

[emmajoy]

One of the places we pass through to go to/return from holidays . from here 100 miles through the 'Lakes' to home

Why do you go away on holiday people often ask when you live in such a beautiful place

[Wild Rose]

I am going to add a few more lines > animals and birds to complete the picture

[‘Thoughts In Time..]

Beautiful gentle nature- accepting all along the way from day to day , questioning non watching quietly🌹

[Wild Rose]

It is a 'National Park' with strict planning control

I am going to add a few lines about annimals and birds

[Dhara_Ditzy Kat]

This is such a beautiful place, in word and in picture! Loved its aura.

[Wild Rose]

Thank you Dhara > this is a 'National Park' with strict planning control - I am pleased to show you our countryside ( the bits we liked - where we used to cycle )
I am going to add a few lines about the animals & birds.
Which will complete the picture

[Dhara_Ditzy Kat]

The animals and birds added do animate the picture more. The animals I saw in your country side were beyond beautiful. The cows, oxen and sheep. It’s a pleasure to read.

[Wild Rose]

Thanks > I thought about them as I woke up this morn

[Wild Rose]

I should write things and leave them a while before posting dont you think
Oh we dont have oxen - could be a horse
BUT it it make sense to you why not
Where I can I add a picture

[Dhara_Ditzy Kat]

I did see some in an Irish Village though...? They had such long hair unlike the we have in India and they were so big! Magnificent. Didn’t see any horses.

As for writing a poem outline and letting our thoughts incubate on it, it works both ways for me. Sometimes it goes on to great things, yet other times, it stays where it was. I do preserve everything in my journal though. And keep recycling stuff. Happy writing!

[Wild Rose]

What you saw was probably 'Highland Cattle' they have long coats an horns they look very much like the pics of oxen I have seen

So you have travelled away from India

[Dhara_Ditzy Kat]

Indeed, several times. I’ve even lived half my life in Africa. A much travelled girl :)

[Coyote Poetry]

Beautiful artwork and wonderful use of words. You took me to with the amazing description. Thank you my friend for sharing the excellent poetry.
