A gorgeous early spring day today, a few photos from Linford in the morning and Ibsley Common in the afternoon.

A New Forest Pony grazing in the morning sun.

Linford Brook bobbling lazily over its gravel bed.

A look over the brook near the bridge up to White Hill.

Over to Ibsley Common for our afternoon walk.

Looking up to the top of Summerlug Hill.

A New Forest Pony silhouetted against the late afternoon sky.

Looking at the path ahead through Chibden Bottom.

A multitude of paths climbing out of the head of Chibden Bottom. These disappear in the summer when the whole area is overtaken with bracken.

Robin Hoods Clump against the setting sun.

The setting sun. With the still days and high cloud we’re seeing a lot of these sunsets lately.

Across Ibsley Pond.
