New Forest Walk 20 November 2011
I have been doing lots of walking and cycling, even though it has not made it onto my Blog very often.
This morning I set off in the mist on a 10 mile walk from Telegraph Hill.
Near Nomansland I saw free-range pigs eating apples and acorns manically. Their road sense was fairly non-existant!
There were also interesting signs that deer had been scraping their horns in the lichen on tree bark, but I would need a real expert to verify this.
And I even managed to get a rather amateur photo of a cobweb as the sun finally burnt through at about 11.30 a.m. What a lovely day.

I didn't know which way to turn today and haven't seen so many rich red tones and hues since I was in Kenya. I needed a better camera to capture the beauty of it all really.
