Well I don't know what happened yesterday, but this post didn't go where I wanted it to
which was probably for a reason because I hadn't yet reached the finale of the day, which began with a heavy mist that didn't lift until well after midday, but there were a few highlights to be seen on the mornings exploring, such as late flowering gorse and cows ...
Now I know I go on about sheep but some of our local farmers have managed to carry on with their cattle and have built up stock after the decimation of their herds ten years ago, so it's a lovely sight to see healthy looking beasts enjoying both autumn leaves and ... mud

I don't think I need to tell you which of the rams won this contest of character

leaving "Old Brutus" to tup away to his hearts content, at which point I drove on home.
The late afternoon held a beautiful surprise, a glowing gold and salmon pink sunset. We haven't witnessed many of these this year, so a lovely ending to a rather sad, soggy day.
The above was taken as I headed up the mountain in the hope of some better photos but even as I parked up I witnessed a strange change in the sky. It was as if the setting sun was pulling down net curtains behind it as it reached it's grand finale. Within just ten minutes, what had been a rose gold setting for the lonely telecom mast, became this ...
