Whipsnade Wild Animal Park

Ambreen's Birthday @ Whipsnade

At the weekend we celebrated my Sister's birthday. We went to Whipsnade Wild Park. It was a lovely hot day and my highlight was this peacock that decided it wanted our left overs after our picnic. I took this cheeky picture of a giaffe,you know I did not realise that the backend of a giraffe would look like this. The pattern is really interesting.

Today was another lovely day, must be the hottest day this year. Went on another walk in the Cotwolds, a six mile circular walk from Colne St Aldwyns to Bibury.

Coln St Aldwyns to Bibury

The walk follows the river Colne for a while which also runs through Bibury. I think this is a Black Swan. The river itself is full of Trout which you can fish at the local Trout farm for a few pounds.

I like the quizzical look this sheep had. Something about it made me want to take a picture of it. There were lots of sheep with young lambs around on the walk. What I did not realise is that the lamb tails fall off as they get a ring put on them so that it cuts of the blood supply.

On the way round I spotted this couple having a bite to eat. I have to say this walk had plenty of oppertunities to stop and enjoy a picnic, more than usual.

Bourton on the Water

Cheeky!

I was out walking around Bourton on the Water, apparantly it's the Venice of the Cotswolds (not sure about that). Anyway, it was a 10 mile circular walk taking in Naunton. As we were approaching Naunton these horses were lined up in a row blocking our way to the stile and made for an interesting picture.

It's that time of year that the Rapeseed is out , it gives a real blast of colour to the landscape. I seem to see more and more of it each year.

Spring Day

A beautiful day! Spring is definately here, you can't but help notice the new leaves on the trees and the spring in everyones step
