Life is in the details

We noticed yesterday that, while we were out walking the Camel Trail,  many people were whizzing along on their bikes missing so much of the beauty around them. So today's blog is to remind us of the small details that make the world so special...

These are the 'details' we noticed yesterday:-

1. The song of a chaffinch that flew to a branch just above out heads and sang for us.

2.The complexity of a dandelion head- a weed but so intricate.

3. Beautiful wild flowers scattered along the banks.

        4. The shape of this tree- unusually well rounded

















4. Little beaches along the river- seen from the path above.

5. Stretches of river you can only find if you explore the smallest paths and go off the main track.












 6. Incredible fungi on posts and rotting trees.

7. Ruined buildings hidden by ivy, trees growing in their midst.

 8. Old station platforms standing as a reminder this was once a railway line.

9. Cornish hedges- branches pulled into woven shapes from where they grow to make good natural boundaries.







10. A heron standing in the river before taking flight.

11. An otter seen from the distance running along the river bank before disappearing from view.



I'm glad we walked and looked. These little details are the most memorable little extras that are there for all to see, but which are not noticed by many.

Until next time
