Hah! Got up early enough to get the mist today ^.^ I went for a bike ride - all alone *wails* Sky didn't want to come - down to the lake pond thing...which I don't think I've mentioned on here before. It, to cut a long story short, is a lake-pond-thing. Biggish pond, smallish lake. Trees around the edges. Get's misty occasionally. It's down the road, over the T junction and down a track, past a house and...there you are. It's pretty snazzy. Here, this is what it looks lile. Or looked like this morning, anyway.
Anyway, I cycled down the road with all Mum's dire warnings (from previous cycling occasions, she was still asleep when I went) - about kidnappers and being run over and other such nonsense - whirling around in my head. So I was a bit creeped when I slowed down at the horses' field and found a white van slowing down behind me o.o I braked and went into the small layby, and the van drew up too. I was trying to calm myself, thinking 'it's probably just the guy coming to feed them' but I cycled back up the road a bit, anyway, and from there took a photo of some misty vineyards while watching Mr. White Van from the corner of my eye.
It was the man coming to feed the horses X3
So I cycled down past him, nodding 'bonjour', crossed the junction ("junction" sounds like a crossing between several big roads - it's just three small ones) and went up the track.
I branched off opposite the (only) house on there, crossed a vineyard and went and had a look at the small wood. I wanted to go further in and take a less heathery photo but a) there were Mum's dire warnings and b) I could hear hunters in the distance - and who knows? there could have been one in there and c) I definitely heard something moving and getting charged by a wildboar is worse than getting shot by a hunter (generally)
So I went back to the main track, continued up it and got to the aforementioned lake-pond-thing. I took several photos and half-regretted not having brought a lens with a longer focal length, since there were some HUGE spiderwebs in a tree which were really amazing but too far away for the camera to capture.
I'll see if I can go again tomorrow with a different lens :3
Anyway, I wandered around the lake (I'll just call it "lake" now, "lake-pond-thing" is too tedious to type), taking some more photos of it and accessible spiderwebs. There were some big fish in the lake, eating insects or something and making ripples.
I'd told Sky I'd only be an hour, so by then I had to go back. It was nice, though ^.^
