Spring on Dartmoor

With the sun shining and the sweet smelling gorse in bloom Dartmoor, normally bleak and inhospitable, shrouded with mist and mystery was magically transformed to this beautiful golden landscape.
A kestrel hovered silently overhead and the wild moorland ponies grazed contentedly, obviously enjoying the warmth of the sun on their backs.

The buds on the gnarled and stunted trees were beginning to burst with fresh green leaves.

This canary yellow sheep was a bit of a surprise!
We haven't yet puzzled out why it had obviously been dyed yellow.

The weather was beautiful and Jessie enjoyed playing in the crystal clear streams.

This is part of Meldon Resevoir...

... a haven for nesting ducks and geese.

Dartmoor - a perfect place for a walk in Springtime!

Definitely recommended by Jessie!
