I dedicate this weeks Sky Watch to a lady who's name I never knew, but you would great me like a friend when I walked by her door. Now sadly passed away. She was a true Sky Watcher from her own fireside seat.
This is the view from her empty and deserted cottage last week... the plants still hang in the windows and the ash of the last fire is still in the grate. The lady who lived here many years and who always offered me and Defor a drink as now pasted away. What will become of this wooded home I don't know but the lady will be sadly missed by those out walking this hill. She was such a trusting, kind person with a smile from ear to ear and always a tale to tell. Her garden a refuge for all kinds of wildlife, I will miss her smile, and the smell of the fire in the distance, I will miss the time spent with her and the sharing of stories over a pot of strong tea.

Super.
Love the Macro's as well.
beautiful pictures, with a beautiful sky
I love your photo, Peter, but your story behind it and the lady who is now gone from that view was a powerful one. I am sure she is in good hands on the other side of the rainbow. You two will miss her on your walks but there might be some other person who will eventually take her place in your heart. Your memories of her will last forever.
Beautiful photo, but I love the story more.
I remember this lady well. Always smiling and waving at the people who walk by her home.
How wonderful to memorialize her in this way.
Beautiful!!!
Homage wonderful with great record of image.

That's a beautiful tribute to this lovely woman. God rest her. Thanks, Pete.
Fabulous catch! The earth and sky, woods and fields, lakes and rivers, the mountain and the sea, are excellent schoolmasters, and teach some of us more than we can ever learn from books. mine's up too, hope you'll visit mine.

A lovely story of the old lady, with a very pretty image to go with it. It looks very pecaeful there.
That is an excellent scene and such a nice tribute to the woman who lived there. You probably made her last days more comfortable by appreciating her stories and her garden. Well done!
Wonderful picture and great story!
Defor knows her name.Dogs know a lot.
Great SWF.
Great shot!
Beautiful scene.
Nice framing! :)
Both you and she were lucky to have this bond. May she rest in peace from the Sky Watch above.
Pete: Wonderful story and sentiment for the lady of the home.
