SHEEP WITH LAMBS




Spring lambs are far too small for eating, so all the lambs in the butchers for Easter will have been born over the winter and been fed on animal feeds of undisclosed origins. This process will impair the flavour of their meat - far tastier is late-season lamb, which will have been properly grass-fed throughout their short frolic-full lives out in the fields.

THE DEBORAH

Image
Another Compagnoni - this time the Deborah Compagnoni  - the steepest overall downhill run, and the bumpiest, on the World Cup circuit. Named after the most successful Alpine competitor of all time, Deborah Compagnoni, born in Borneo in 1970, who won 3 gold medals in successive Winter Olympics in the 1990s. Over 3 km long with a drop of more than 1 km this is a challenging run to do in a one-er for the recreational skier at one of the most scenic and hidden gems of the European Alps.  Sent from my Blueberry  ®  mobile device

RIPPLING WATERS

Image
The surface of the flowing waters of the River Cleddau in the last few moments of daylight illustrating the extraordinary variety of texture, shade and light created by the slope and configuration of the river bed. Painting pretty patterns on the surface of the water above, with surges, boils and ripples lower down revealing the outlying advances of the incoming tide. Sent from my Blueberry  ®  mobile device

WILLOW TREE LEAVES

Image
Now the willow tree is joining in on the act and starting to stir - of the genus Salix, from the Latin salire, to leap, it literally springs into life. And the verb "to sally", meaning "to go forth boldly" comes from the same root. Also brings to mind Roger Deakins' praise of trees (from "Wildwood")... "Nothing can compare... (to trees) ...for signalling the changes in the natural world. They are our barometers of the weather and the changing seasons. We can tell the time of year by them. Trees have the capacity to rise to the heavens and connect us to the sky, to endure, to renew, to bear fruit and to burn and warm us through the winter - there is nothing that excites the imagination and passions as much as the flames of a log fire."
