Photographer's Note
Hello Everyone,
Back near home, today.
At the beginning of the year, the weather was warm and sunny and the sheep, just before the birth of their lambs, were enjoying the sunshine.
Sadly, it is not so idyllic this week!
It is very cold, with strong winds! I feel so sorry for the animals that are out in the fields.
In the f/g, you will be able to see the drystone wall, one of the common features where I live. The winter tree looks amazingly scaly and knobbly, just like the skin of a lizard!
The abundance of moss confirms that the weather can be quite moist in this area.
My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Beverley,
The weather looks great at time of mid-winter when taken this picture. Vivid green pasture, sunshine prevailed the moors and tree branches here animate the outcome.
Unsettled weather pattern mostly due in spring, at least we see it in Israel.
Good afternoon,
Ike

Hi Bev,
The tree is helping to frame the scene. The point of view is showing the details of the stone wall, of the trees and of the field. The light is giving good colors rendering. Have a nice day.

Hello Bev,
Back to familiar areas. You have shown us these meadows and this wall before, probably the same tree and possibly the same sheep. But it is such a nice view and I understand why it's one of your favourite photo spots. It looks amazingly sunny and warm for January, similar to the unusually sunny March we had in large parts of Sweden. Now we are back to rain and snow, grey skies and very modest temperatures.
Best regards,
Gert

Hello Beverley,
It has been raining cats and dogs here all week as well, so it is nice to see some more sunshine in this photo (and hopefully next week as well, when I'll be in England). Lovely view of the sloping fields with a couple of sheep. Nice bright sunlight and the old tree is also well included.

Hi Bev,
This tree has quite an extraordinary shape almost like baobab.
The stone fence andcolors of nature strongly suggest it is the UK rather than Africa.
Very nice composition, you have made a great use of the tree to frame a lovely scenery behind.
Excellent work,
M

Hi Bev,it would take some of the British rain in my country, we have another week of sunshine after a little hailstorm last week that didn't solve the drought problem. Nice glimpse from an area we know well by now, some signs of spring and lots of greenery, perfect for sheep. Have a nice evening and thanks,Luciano

Hello Bev, One week ago we had a real winter but now there are not only signs of spring. Here we see no flowers and fresh leaves yet. only sheep enjoy sunny weather. I like these stone walls. They are iconic for England.
Have a nice weekend

Hi Beverley
Nature is wonderful - a sure sign of Spring is arriving. Love your composition too with excellent focus on the tree and its pretty branches and all leads into the frame. The colour effect is beautiful, well done.
Best regards

Hi Bev,
A lovely photo of this bucolic scene with warm light and long shadows. Good sharpness and depth of field (and I'm not referring to the soil thickness of the field the sheep are occupying). The gnarled branches really add atmosphere to the shot.

Hello Beverley,
This is already a familiar sight for us too.
Beautiful rural scene with the sheep scattered across the meadow.
Excellent composition, good depth, a nice foreground with the dry stone wall, the tree and its branches.
Best regards, Paul
