#ScenicSaturday 25th November 2023

My photos in this continuing series show our beautiful world. Maybe they’ll encourage viewers to help save it from human carelessness.


As I rarely travel in November, this month’s series concentrates on the forest where I live. Those who love the seas or oceans may feel a little left out, so I’ll try to compensate for that next month!


This small pool was once easy to reach, but storm-felled trees have blocked the path and now it’s an adventure to get there. There’s a small waterfall from the far edge, and the pool is the result of careful damming by local children who sometimes swing from a rope attached to a branch (behind the place I stood for this). The place is just a few steps from a boggy area we know as the Wallow, where wild boar come to soak themselves in the mud to remove lice from their skin and, in summer, to cool themselves. We generally leave them alone, of course, as wild boar with young can be aggressively protective of their little’uns!

More of my pictures appear in the Gallery.
If you’re looking for pictures for almost any purpose, you’ll find 2,500 large HD images on Picfair, which can be bought for a small sum as digital files, or as art quality prints on paper or canvas. My small portion of the fee helps maintain the gear and software quality digital photography demand. Thank you.

    1. Thanks, Lynette. I’m going to have to get the secateurs out if we’re ever to return here, as fallen trees have blocked the way. But we’ll be able to renew our access once we’ve trimmed a few branches!

    1. It is most of the time, Noelle, when the kids aren’t playing pirates! You can’t swim here, of course. And even paddling might be a bit of a mud bath!

            1. I spent some of my early childhood walking to school along the shores of the North Sea, and occasionally even stepping into it (I couldn’t swim at the time) and I once ran a cross-country run, whilst in senior school, along the ice that had formed at the edge of the Humber estuary. But you wouldn’t get me in cold water now! It’s good you enjoy it, Noelle, but not for me these days.
