A walk with friends up the river in Devon on a warm sunny day

Posted on July 29, 2021 by Opher

Our good friends for the misty ages of time joined us for a walk up a river on the edge of the moors. It was a fabulous day. Mystery was in the air. Dragonflies, damsel flies, bracket fungus, fish and beauty.

We started going uphill a bit.

The mother might be a bit confused about her offspring.

I don’t think these were standing stones – probably gateposts from a long gone wall

Ingleborough caves

It was quite desolate and we hardly saw anyone. There was a bleak beauty to it.

We wondered what it would have looked like long ago. Probably the natural climax is trees. We thought it wouldn’t have looked as beautiful. But then it would have been teeming with life – insects, birds, mice, rabbits, boar, wolves and bears. We only see the tiny rump of what once was thriving here. The volcanoes, ice and erosion created the basis – We merely destroyed the rick tapestry of life that lived on it.
