Exmoor Hike

27th February 2024

I absolutely loved today, being out in nature and in my element! I only saw exmoor ponies in the distance. However, when I did spot a couple moving off I admit my inner child came out and I squealed with delight and set off at an almost run to see if I could get a better view, photo opportunity.

The landscape around Dunkery Beacon was full of muted colours, yet felt really vibrant to me. It was a really long hike and my legs are going to hurt! I forgot to put the battery in my DSLR camera, left it in the charger on my desk, thankfully we all carry mobile phones and the camera’s are good.

The idea was to feel the landscape and research ideas for the Sustain Exhibition being held in our local museum.

Nature provides us with so many different landscapes and textures and colours. It survives long after we do adapting and reclaiming any man made structures.

Here’s a hint as to what my subject matter will be for the exhibition. My first attempt at a digital drawing, more practice definitely needed.
