When thinking of England, green comes to mind. Green and London. But the green is the bigger part of the visual image. Being in the middle of a city, there really isn't an extensive amount of green. However, Dartmoor National Park is green . . . very green. The free walk was on Saturday. The walk itself: beautiful and very muddy.
Dartmoor is home to green moss, little ferns, old trees, and little ponies. There is a river that runs through it. We stopped on the side of this river for lunch. It is easy in that
place to see why an artist or writer would be inspired by the plain nature of it all. It is a very photogenic place even without the best of cameras. It was a good day out. It gave us all the opportunity to stretch our legs and get some fresh air, as well as viewing the beauty of the English landscape. It was peaceful even in the size of group we were in.Dartmoor ponies are wild ponies that roam the extent of the park. They are like people in a sense, some of them are friendly and some are not. The friendly ones came up to u
s and let us pet them. The others stood in the same place and kept a weary eye on us. If we came too close they simply walked away. Others were curious and would come up to us and sniff us, but still not let us pet them.
