Milou and i walked to one of the highest points 

overlooking the Gers

dappled sunlight, and a wooded lane

a pretty chestnut, acorn littered path

spiny cases and leaves adorn in the autumn aftermath

Today our email was lost in the ether

we did not get to meet or greet our pals Taj and Jan

so all did not go according to plan

Milou however, a new beau did find

whom nearer to home we eventually managed to leave behind

A low mist left clouds on the water

the morning is very cool but destined to be hotter

heron and egret shadowed on the lake

plovers and ducks all of a flap, made for a big break

with as per usual, Milou, in hot pursuit, in their wake

A lovely late afternoon walk in the Cardeilhac Forrest

with the sun dappling through the leaves was gorgeous

a beautiful variety of many many trees

Milou and Daisy raced in and out 

until they were practically on their knees

Milou could not believe her luck

as we had a small run before school

then a second along spiky chestnut paths

all bathed in sunlight and laughs

it is now a a favourite trek

definitely our preferred sundeck

As usual a very beautiful but fairly cool morning

on all the trees, yellows and golds are now just forming

Mark and i, had vigorous ideas with our walk

we love the idea of conversing with the countryside

to formulate our talk

We woke early for this mornings ramble

from Larroque, with Milou and pom pom we ambled

we found a huge toad

which we tried to move as it was on the road

sadly we think it might already be injured
