A circle of stones around a hearth in the forest.
‘I am thy father’s spirit:
Doomed for a certain time to walk the night.’
William Shakespeare, Hamlet
Daily photographs from our local forest will continue here until the end of April. I’m adding another from my collection to show more of the world and its wonders. I’ll probably replace this series with single pictures from my files, once it’s run its course.
If shared on social media, more people will be able to enjoy the natural beauty of our world, so please do that if you can. Thank you.
The Undercliff at Lyme Regis
All photographs here are my own, unless otherwise credited. More of my pictures can be found here. And a small sample of my work lives under the ‘Gallery’ tab, top of this page.

I love the forest hearth (I hope not the fire that Hamlet’s dear old dad had to endure to burn off his sins 😉 ). There’s nothing like an evening camp fire.

We’ve yet to encounter anyone actually using this hearth, Lynette. But it is used, and they always seem to clear up afterwards, which is great. It’s in a spot many locals never reach, and not easy to get to, but worth the effort.
Love that you found that connection with the quote!

I love the tree with the huge gnarled roots and the large stones surrounding the fire pit. I looks ready for an evening of talking and laughing at old jokes. The seaside town looks inviting. Are those changing huts? Ah, a day at the beach! Hotdogs and s’mores. Thanks for posting.

First time we found this spot, Brenda, we were immediately reminded of The Hobbit; so easy to imagine the Lord of the Rings characters warming their hands at the fire.
The coast at Lyme Regis is quite unstable in places, and the beach and cliffs are a treasure trove for fossil hunters. The beach huts will be privately owned and/or rented. They are often rediculously expensive, as they occupy prime spots for those who love the seaside. Many of them will have cooking facilities, too!

I can visualize the Hobbits too! I also was thinking of a camping spot in my latest book that the sneaky youngsters camped in sharing s’mores with new friends of the Panther Clan. It will be interesting to find out if they are sent home or allowed to continue their exploration of the so far unexplored continent.

I love it when one created work links in with another, Brenda. Sounds intriguing.

Thanks, someday let’s swap a book for reviews. I would love to read one of yours, and with trepidation would love to have you read one of mine.

That sounds like a great idea, Brenda. Best way to facilitate this is via email. If you use my ‘Contact’ tab above, you can send me your email and we can organise this through that.
