A Late Summer Meander


While often when this mouse wanders about the countryside it is with a purpose, there can be nothing more delightful that just experiencing the feel of being out in the open and enjoying the stimuli around you. Yesterday, as the weather was dry and hot, it was great to hear the seedpods on the broom as the sun dried them and they popped open spilling their seeds. Or the soft scent of the flowers as you wandered by.

The colours of late summer are there to remind us that autumn is nearly upon us. Yet the too provide a visual delight to the wandering eye. While not as full as the orchestra of spring, the songs and calls of birds still fill the air.

The days of late August are a time to relax and enjoy the sun.
