TTMMH #5 (Port Meadow)

I think that apart from the Botanical Gardens, which hold a ridiculously special place in my heart, Port Meadow is my favourite place in Oxford. I only post this in advance of OUBG because I was up at Port Meadow a week or so ago, so it's on the brain. But isn't it just *divine*? I'm pretty sure I took this a few years ago, back when I was living in North Oxford so pootling down to PM with my camera on a more regular basis, but it hasn't really changed at all...

Here you are, TTMMH #5, Port Meadow (larger than usual, because it's more impacting that way) :) :)

Spring has Sprung, Port Meadow trips have begun

Hooray! It's Spring! This joyous occurrence means that at the end of the working day it's not already dark, and also isn't too cold to venture out in. This wonderful combination, and a desire earlier in the week to visit Port Meadow that was perfect all except for the missed photographic opportunity, caused me to dust off my camera and head out after work today. And who did I find there, apart from stampeding horses, but my lovely housemate Anadi and her fiance, Dave :)

At last, I can complete the third objective of this blog: Photograph it.
Enjoy...
 Port Meadow being beautiful and calm, apart from the horses on their way...
 ...Standing my ground among the stampeding horses...
 ...with more coming! This one on the left ran straight at me for a LONG time before it swerved off...
 ...and off they go...
 ...just leaving their tracks, and a sense of relief, behind.

Hopefully now the camera's been dusted off, and the light is back, and there's life in the city again, 'Photograph it' will happen a little more often...but until then. 

Love, Em x
