The rain kept away for a change ..trudging over soggy moorland in search of a lone tree! Didn't find one but still good fun :-)
There are two enclosures fenced with stones. The smaller one for the horses in the main roundup, and for the sheep found in the second and third roundups
I have not been to a Zoo for over 50 years and if totally honest not a great fan. On this occasion I was in the area and I had read a lot about Marwell Zoo and the work they have done with endangered species and so we had a day to have a look. I have to say we were both totally surprised and impressed. The animals were in excellent condition and the enclosures were clean and big. The bird avery was great along with the reptile area. I would go again and support them.
There is a stone enclosure by the side of the road at a place called Four Winds, near Merrivale on Dartmoor. At the front of it, which is now a car park, there was once a school for the children of local farm workers and quarrymen. The school closed back in the 1930s and all traces of it were removed in the 1960s. But this stone enclosure remains, together with the "squeeze-belly" stile. It allowed people to squeeze through while keeping larger animals at bay. I think the stone enclosure is very much older than the brick-built school (dating from 1914), whose children used it as a playground. But I've been unable to find any confirmation of its history.
I know you probably can’t read the small red sign on this fence, but it says Accent Fence. Just what is this fence accenting? It looks like some kind of enclosure for trash or maybe a place to secure equipment. It doesn’t look like the gate can even be closed anymore. If you ask me (no one did, but since it is my picture I’ll comment anyway), there is nothing at all attractive that an accent fence could show off. There isn’t even a rose bush or colorful wildflowers, just weeds and vines.
Some of you may think it is just the name of the fence company that installed this fence. If so, they should remove the plaque because this fence is not doing the fence company any good by way of advertising IMO.
HFF my friends.
This is one of the sheltered spots in Willow's enclosure. I love the butterfly tree, the secret to keep it flowering is clipping off the browned flower heads.

when my strong arms receive you,
the voices of absence, sweetly
our leisures will count two paths
without anyone, with the two of them, never and always.
And the pair of words messes
to deep unity. and so much number
is reduced to the edge of the encounter
with amazement of being poetry.
I no longer know how to walk except towards you.
The rose of paths of your absence
alert in me the scent of return
and the hidden word of his science.
I hear my name in you, I am your presence.

Not a Sunday Slide, the wacky colours are straight out of the camera. The LUT implementation in the S5ii makes it too easy to achieve garish results like this..

Las Márgenes del Duero, Soria, Castilla y León, España.
Las Márgenes del Duero son un paraje situado en el río Duero a su paso por Soria, (Castilla y León, España). El recinto constituye uno de los enclaves de recreo con que cuenta la capital soriana junto con el parque de la Dehesa, El Castillo o El Mirón.
A lo largo de las márgenes existen varios parajes de recreo como el Soto Playa, isleta flanqueada por dos ramales del río con sendas presa (la Presa del Molinete a la entrada y la de la elevadora a la salida) o El Peñón. En ambos espacios naturales se puede practicar el baño en el Río Duero.
The Margins of the Duero are a place located on the Duero River as it passes through Soria, (Castilla y León, Spain). The enclosure constitutes one of the recreational enclaves that the Soria capital has together with the Dehesa, El Castillo or El Mirón park.
Along the banks there are several recreational spots such as Soto Playa, an islet flanked by two branches of the river with a dam path (the Molinete Dam at the entrance and the elevator at the exit) or El Peñón. In both natural spaces you can practice bathing in the Duero River.

Enclosure, historically is the process of subdivision of common land for individual ownership. (Ref: Wikipedia)
We were parked at the Reserva Florestal de Recreio do Cerrado dos Bezerros on São Miguel Island in the Azores when this little dog appeared among the flowers along a retaining wall. He paused for a few moments to study us with clear curiosity, then just as abruptly disappeared back into the garden.
The name of the forest reserve caught my attention. In Portuguese, cerrado literally means “closed” or “shut,” from the verb cerrar. In the Azorean agricultural landscape, however, a cerrado refers to an enclosed pasture field, typically bounded by stone walls or hedges. Bezerros means calves (young cattle). Together the name translates roughly as “Enclosure for Calves.” Having learned my Portuguese in Brazil, where the word is used differently, it took me a moment to understand the local meaning.
Bis Anfang der 1970-er Jahre war Marzahn, das 1920 nach Berlin eingemeindet worden war, ein von Landwirtschaft geprägtes Dorf. Seine Struktur ist die eines typisch märkischen Angerdorfs, d. h. die Häuser des historischen Ortskerns liegen an einer Straße, die sich an beiden Enden gabelt und so den Anger, eine große Grünfläche, umfasst. Auf dem Anger stehen stehen die Kirche, die Schule und die ehemalige kleine Poststelle. Um diesen 1977 unter Denkmalschutz gestellten Ortskern wurde in den 1970-er und 1980-er Jahren die Großsiedlung Marzahn errichtet. 1979 wurde die Großsiedlung Marzahn mit mehreren weiteren Gebieten aus dem damaligen Stadtbezirk Lichtenberg herausgelöst und zu einem eigenen Stadtbezirk. Auch dieser wurde 1986 erneut geteilt in die Stadtbezirke Marzahn und Hellersdorf, die wiederum 2001 wieder unter dem Namen Marzahn-Hellersdorf zu einem einzigen Stadtbezirk mit ca. 269.000 Einwohnern vereinigt wurden. Die Erinnerung an die landwirtschaftliche Tradition Marzahns wird durch den Kleintierhof in einem alten Bauernhof im Dorf und seine Außengehege unterhalb der Bockwindmühle gepflegt.
Until the early 1970s, Marzahn, which had been incorporated into Berlin in 1920, was an agricultural village. Its structure is that of a typical Brandenburg village, i.e. the houses in the historic centre of the village are situated along a road that branches off at both ends, thus enclosing the village green, a large green area. The church, the school and the former small post office stand on the village green. The large housing estate of Marzahn was built in the 1970s and 1980s around this village centre, which was listed in 1977. In 1979 the large housing estate Marzahn and several other areas were separated from the borough of Lichtenberg and became a separate borough under the name of Marzahn. In 1986 this was again divided into the boroughs of Marzahn and Hellersdorf, which in turn were reunited in 2001 under the name of Marzahn-Hellersdorf to form a single borough with approx. 269,000 inhabitants.
The memory of Marzahn's agricultural tradition is cherished by the Small Animal Farm in former farmstead in village and its outdoor enclosures below the windmill.
What is the weakest link in your photography setup?
As a photography instructor, the most common weak link I notice in my students' setup is the tripod. When photographing in harsh environments, the sturdiness and vibration damping properties of tripods are essential. My go to is the Fotopro tripod. It is lightweight enough to hike long distances with and holds up really well in difficult environments. Feel free to reach out if you want more info on Fotopro tripods - I think they are some of the best in the business!

After I had spent some time at Mogshade Pond, I headed down through Bolderwood to find some areas that might still be foggy.
Thankfully at Vinney Ridge, next to the A35, the area was still quite foggy and the sun hadn't yet risen above the trees.
