At present, now that we are in strange times and I am no longer travelling, I am finding the area around me to be my sanctuary.
I have already shown images from some of the roads around here, but recently I have explored some other parts.
An avenue of trees leads to a small lake
plenty of birds on the lake:
Weeping willows visible on the lake shore
Heading further round, we come to a wooded area, still with last autumn’s fallen leaves. On a rather cloudy day, perhaps a little forbidding:
But look at the leaf canopy caught by the sun on a bright day:
I have certainly found a new sanctuary for these Covid days

I am glad you have found your sanctuary locally, Sue. I like the dark woodland on hot days as it is always cooler.
Best wishes, Pete.
Yes
Yes. Each of these qualifies as a peaceful sanctuary. Lovely.
Thanks, Margaret!
So good to see you have found a new sanctuary in these extraordinary times Sue and it looks like a peaceful place to spend some time.

You’re lucky to have such beautiful surroundings, Sue. The lake shore is amazing and I love the big trees. I hope you are in good health to go out and enjoy your sanctuary over and over again. x
