My dog being a good boy and waiting for me to catch him up.
My dog Hooch thinks he is in Heaven
The light in this part of the woods really takes your breath away on a sunny day
I keep expecting to see a stag stood in the middle distance when I enter the woods from Wood Lane. It reminds me of Cenotaph to the Memory of Sir Joshua Reynolds by Constable and the woods make me smile every day.
I love the light in this photo.
