Valley Girl
 

Hohum....I have been a bit down the past couple if days, so decided to cheer me and Pilau up with a nice valley walk:


Decided to edit this so the pictures are bigger...I know it's bad bandwidthwise, but Shibden Valley doesn't really come through on little snaps:P

Pilau in his natural habitat:P

Wow. Just wow. I'd walk there every weekend if I lived there.

And more valley shots :P You can see the town of Halifax nestled in the basin of the hills. (On the second picture)

It's SO beautiful! And it's really nice to see Pilau again. Thanks!

pretty!

I walk there, or thereabouts as often as I can. Most days. Sometimes I get a few weeks where it's just two or three times, but mostly I try to get out there daily.

*Pilau waves at Shawnee*

Don't know if it comes through on the photo but, the last picture shows typical Pennine sheep, grazing in a vertical field :P

:) Hi Pilau...good doggy. Remember my poem, Pilau? (God I am so desperately starved for attention.) ;) Give Pilau a hug for me. Now, when can I move over there?

*chuckles* I read that and glanced over at him: he's asleep on the floor in front of the sofa. His paws keep twitching and jerking. I think he's chasing something.

He did chase a rabbit today. (Note to Ali: not a feral one, just a normal wild one :P) I saw it zip between the heather, like a little grey blur. Once Pil noticed it he was off...course the rabbit had long since skittered away, but he could smell it! Ohhh....what a fine time he had...running about in and out of clumps of heather and up and down the slope. Every so often I could tell he'd caught a fresh scent, 'cause he'd started barking, but a really joyous, yip of a bark.

Dana, are you in Nova Scotia? If so, it looks beautiful there, never been.

*smiles* It is beautiful, but no it's Yorkshire in England.

James Herriot is her -- Pilau's -- veterinarian.

That is just a gorgeous place. (sigh)

Yeah, gorgeous... but it's hard to enjoy the scenery when there's the constant danger of being torn to pieces, by vicious feral kitties, at every turn.

It's ok. I have my vicious not-so-feral beardie to 'protect' me.
