Blogtoberfest~ Frolicking Horses

Aren't these horses lovely?

Shame about the line across their faces,

but I just couldn't get above the fence

to take a decent photo.

But still, they're sweet don't you think?

These photos were taken Thursday morning

as I walked the hounds myself

while Mike was away.

You can see the mist behind the horses

above the river. 

This is the first frosty morning we've had.

Maybe it was the frost that was making the horses

frisky when I arrived.

I wasn't quite quick enough with the camera

to get a photo of them both

rearing up together

almost in a hug.

As we approached

they settled down

and came over to see the hounds.

When we continued

I looked across

to my left

and saw this chap in the field.

Can you just about see him?

A fox.

He saw us.

He stopped what he was doing

and took a good long look at us

before continuing to sniff around

and moving off into the vineyards.

The leaves on the vines are changing colour quite rapidly now.

They look a beautiful golden colour

in the sunshine,

especially when viewed

from higher up the valley.

I've taken the camera out

on walks

several times now,

only to take a photo

and it not work.

The batteries are not holding a charge.

So I've missed a number of nice shots.

Thank you for all your good wishes regarding my grandson.

He had his tonsils removed,

and after an overnight stay in hospital,

is back home.

I've spoken to him a couple of times on the phone,

and he's doing very well.

He sounds a bit croaky

and his throat is painful of course.

But hopefully it will be better soon.

I've been slipping behind a bit with Blogtoberfest,

but lots of other people are still going strong.

You can see who they are by visiting Tinnie Girl.
