An April Morning



Not all mornings have as much visual interest. The sun helped as did the mist and snow.


Even walls and fences can play their part when influenced by snow.

Lower down all was clear but the further reaches of the moors and the top pastures had several inches cover.
Nearer the top of Thistle Hill the view of Higger Tor was not quite as clear as it can be, but skies were a feature.


Coming down, the main bridleway was more lightly affected by snow. Several deer had come out to browse on the left of the track.



On the other side were more of them, less bold, hiding in the trees.




Returning through the Hollow and along the top reaches of the stream, the snow started again.


The thought of the breakfast porridge was a strong motivation for hurrying back.
