Walk in beautiful surroundings .... restful for body and mind!

Went for a brisk 7.2k walk/hike today.... through the Branksome Chine Gardens (Victorian manmade as well as natural paths through the cliffs down to the sea) and back via the beach. Stopped off for a lovely scone and cream.

The chines here are old, with some amazing trees. I love looking at trees, their branches and their bark. My husband said: you always seem to be seeing details .... today it was a growth on a tree trunk that looked like the face of a monkey! The picture on the right looked like a tunnel, but it was an overgrown tree with very tight branches! Amazing!
