First art walk.

As expected with only a week since the launch of this blog, the start of any publicity and the first walk, there wasn't a great turnout, only me. I rehearsed the route, only being a bit unsure at one point. The weather was kind with only some light rain. I came across a deer quietly drinking in the great pond amongst the shelter of waterlogged trees. I felt like a ghost, only jays acknowledging my presence by flying off, their colourful tails streaking into the woods.

I particularly noticed the routes that badgers and foxes habitually create across the boundaries that we create. The rain had bought out the smells and muddy marks of the animals mostly nocturnal passing.

 

As the sunshine came back in the afternoon some butterflies started to appear. Now I just have to advertise the walk on the 27th of August, hope you can come along

 

I have rehearsed the walk route, it came in at well under three hours,  I was on my own and I didn't stop for long,  I did make some images. I am interested in shelters or dens, they spring up in many woods and other in between environments. Added to and destroyed in a playful way. We take our love of houses and buildings into wild areas.
