The Eyes Have It

... or the ayes, as Mr Speaker would say. They are noted for their deep and compelling eyes but the difference between hind and calf is interesting. The hind's can be penetrating, more so than a stag's with a touch of righteous indignation. The calf's, in common with eyes of young of many species, show innocence and vulnerability; though this one already has a touch of wariness in his gaze.



But we should all say 'Aye' to this. Scenes like this should be commonplace in this land and in miles of other public land around here. This is a natural scene with nothing contributed by agri environmenmt schemes. On Blacka the Countryside Stewardship Scheme has brought managed ugliness while the natural beauty here owes everything to lack of management. All we need is to use our eyes.


'Aye, Mr Speaker. I'll vote for that.
