A New Season Begins

7.00 am on the side of the hill over looking Diggle, in fact over looking several of the Saddleworth villages, the 2013-14 season began, or at least the first of the early morning pre-season meets did, which is more or less the same thing...

A bit damp to begin with, and breezy, but after a lot of rain the day and night before it seemed as if there was plenty of scent around.

 A bit of a "noisy" picture, but it was only just after 7 am and the sun hadn't really got up so the light was appalling, still, with a bit of fiddling about in "Lightroom" these are passable, at least I think they are....

 This hare happened to pass me by close enough to get a few shots off, given how poor the light was at the time I am quite pleased how these turned out....

And especially this one...

 The ladies keeping an eye on things...

 A distant whip..

Time for home........

A cracking start to the season, it has been a very long summer after all.....

Comments

I have only just been told that there is currently no way of leaving comments, in spite of my attempts to edit the whole thing. I can edit individual posts to allow them, but something I did two or three years ago in the template has changed the way that Blogger applies it to the new version of Blogger...great. () (>sarc off>) 

It seems that I have to re-enable "comments" for individual posts, rather than being able to do a global attack, historically on the whole thing.

It would matter of course if anyone actually read this, but hey, I'm a gardener, not a computer jock.

Want a hedge cutting?

Contact me.

Want a website designing?

Contact a web designer......

 

See??

Insert smiley face thing...........

Photobox (Again)

I am in the process of trying to update my Photobox album.

All constructive advice gratefully received!

That doesn't include "Delete x y & z, they're rubbish" unless they really are......!

September

As I say in the YT preamble, this is one of those songs that I have (hopefully) grown up with. In spite of the potential copyright issue I decided to clamp a load of clips together, of course it didn't take many seeing as how it's only a minute and a half long, and use them as a setting for the experience.

UK Autumn? Bring it on.
