We are lucky enough to live in the New Forest, great for a quiet walk on a Sunday afternoon .
Even better if its been raining as there's muddy puddles .
Dog on lead , toddler in pushchair with her treasure bag at the ready !!!
On the first stretch of walk there was lots of bark on the ground . We place a small piece on our pushchair , finding woodlice and spiders . Little miss in heaven , she loves bugs . We speant alot of time just looking .
Muddy puddles next !!
A spot of walking backwards :-)!
We found this dragonfly lying by the side of the road , sadly not moving , but still a very pretty sight .
A lovely Sunday walk had , with lots of leaves collected ready for a collage later .
I would like to say I have a tired out toddler , but by the way she's jumping on my sofa . I'm not sure that's the case !
I love simple days out like this, your pictures are lovely. It's strange but I only saw a dragonfly 'in real life' for the first time last year. I was shocked how big they are and by the way they moved... I'm ashamed to say when I first saw it, I screamed my head off in a public park, much to my husband's embarrassment!
ReplyDeleteAww thank you for your kind words :-).
DeleteI think this may have been the first time I've seen on so big !
Haha I used to scream at moths , but have to deal with them now and not scared the little miss !!
Aw this is so cute - love it that a walk tires them out so much. Did you make it to Nana's for biscuits too?! x
ReplyDeleteWe did thank you , we nipped there first to pick up the doggie :-)!
DeleteThis looks like such a great walk. I love bugs too - I bet you ticked off many things from the National Trust 50 things list. Thank you for linking up.
ReplyDeleteOo I've never heard of that list I must check it out thank you !
DeleteWhat lovely pictures! Sounds like a brilliant walk out! I can't believe how big that Dragonfly looks.
ReplyDeleteYour walk looks really lovely with all the leaves that have started falling down. We love walks too!
ReplyDeleteGosh I'm so jealous of all of you who live in the New Forest - I think I'd be out there daily! Visiting from the pin-it party :)
ReplyDeleteI must use it more! It's great for dog walks and exploring :-)
DeleteThat's a massive dragonfly. It must be fab living so close to the New Forest :)
