ABC Wednesday is now in its 4th year. I really enjoy the diversity, creativity and imagination of the posts which we see each week. Another meme I really enjoy is Friday 55 Flash Fiction, organised by G-man (Mr Knowitall). The idea is you write a story in exactly 55 words. If you want to take part pop over and let G-man know when you've posted your 55.It really is a hoot - do check it out. Last week my contribution came about when I had to drive over the moors to visit a customer!
He had been a bus driver for long enough to know what to expect when he was doing the moors run.True, he had powers of discretion and he had a mobile – yes there was always somebody there to help. Nevertheless as he pulled up at the bus stop there was something about those eyes!
Here are the remaining photographs of my journey - Autumn in all its Glory don't you think?
The North York Moors are on our doorstep - right now I can look out of the window and make out the faint purple of the heather giving out it's last show of colour as the autumn gives the golden hue to all around.
I am SO jealous of you. I miss the Moors so much. And those sheep. There's something so restful about them. Just chewing away and staring out at the world...........
ReplyDeleteGreat shots Denise and as I've said before you live in a place surrounded by beauty. :)
ReplyDeleteThe sheep, the land, the colors, the stones--all so very beautiful.
ReplyDeleteAnd your short story is fun!
Terrific captures and choice for the M Day, Denise! I always wanted to be able to visit your part of the world and see the moors that I've read so much about. Terrific view from your window! Yep, I'm just a tad jealous! Hope the rest of your week goes well!

That sheep in the bus-stop shelter really caught me!
ReplyDeleteI am so jealous of you: you live in such a beautiful part of the country and I love those sheep. Especially the one waiting for the bus.
ReplyDeleteDear Mrs Nebitt,
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! The land, the mist, the autumn colours, and most of all, these wonderful furry four-footers! Do they like cats? Maybe I could play with them?
The Moors. Is that where Heathcliff lives? Do you live near 'Whuthering Heights'?
I really like your post. I am going to tell Mummy to go back and read it!
By the way, I am supposed to return a message to you. Mummy says that she would be happy to make anything for you. She will write via e-mail.
Now then, I've done that. I wish you a happy week!
Purrs,

I imagine the sheep are very happy on the moors!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, beautiful pictures of the Moors. I don't think I could do much with the 55 meme, however it sounds like fun.
ReplyDeleteThe beautiful Moors and glorious inhabitants - wonderful M post!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colours in a beautiful area. Makes me want to strap my boots on and head over there. Love the picture of the sheep in the deep undergrowth busily munching away.

Brings back great memories of when we had a flock of sheep, - some of the nicest times I had were in the barn!! Lovely pictures....
ReplyDeleteWhen I went through that area, it was August 1998 and the heather was not showing any colour yet. But if I come next year in September, maybe I'll catch a glimpse. Beautiful shots, Denise!
ReplyDeleteCool! I did a round of Flash Fic Fridays 55, a story called Machina Pondering, I did. It's pretty good, and I'm planning on expanding on those 6 word stories that I had on my blog.
ReplyDeleteHere's my submission

My friend and I hope to come over the moors next week one day when we have a birthday outing - lunch in Helmsley probably - your photos have given me a taste of what is in store Denise.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful moors - inspired choice for M, if I may say so! A
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful landscape. I love that first shot of the sheep.

That bus shelter flash 55 is hysterical - and cudos to you for capturing that shot - nice one Denise! I love these pictures, they couold almost have been taken on the isle of man, couldn't they? Our countryside is very similar.
ReplyDeleteI love your sheep pictures in the beautiful settings.

Just found your blog and find your photos inspiring. I like photography too. Of course your landscapes are so different from mine and absolutely stunning. I agree with everyone else, the sheep in the bus shelter is a winner! Ann x
