The beauty continues and fibrefest question

More pictures for your enjoyment from the nature reserve, plus a lovely bouncy kid goat from our trip to Cumbria.
the flowers are looking so lush after the rain, it seems to have perked them up no end.

so many different colours all against this fabulous green backdrop.
We call these fox and hounds , not sure why though?
I love the way the light reflects amongst these trees.
How is that for a meadow?

Mr Mog captured this butterfly perfectly , don't you agree?

Then we have what is known as a thrushes anvil, as you can see a perfect way for the birds to extract snails from their shells.
This little boy is just weeks old and this was our first time visiting him, he is just known as Imp at the moment. Isn't he a sweetie?
We also took this on out way through Greystoke, I love the effect.
I am hoping to visit fibrefest at towards the end of August and it is on at Coldharbour Mill in Devon. Does anyone know of cheap accommodation in the area please? I am unable to camp sadly so that isn't an option

A walk among flowers, picture heavy

This post is very picture heavy and shows some of the many pictures we took this morning. I'll not do much writing but let the pictures speak for themselves.
Notice the rune Gyfu in the sky as we started our meander

If you click on this picture you can get a better view of the damselfly.


This has to be one of my favourite pictures taken by Mr Mog, you can't see what is reflecting where
Not sure what this was? Wonder if it would spin?
I associate cobwebs full of dew with autumn
orchids abound here
Click on this and see the wonderful stripey insect, is it a bee or hover fly?



A secret path, who knows where you will end up?
signs of autumn?


There were many butterflies and moths there
elderflower wine anyone?

We were also lucky and saw 2 hares, alas too speedy for taking pictures.
lots of these little chaps about

See the bee on the notice board?

Another butterfly if you click to enlarge



This was the first time we had visited but it won't be our last. All the time we were there we had the place to ourselves.
