On Saturday I had to drop some provisions to my son. It was so hard to not give him a big hug & to stand 2 metres away, *sigh*

But we used the time to walk there with Lily & it was one of the clearest days... So clear, I could see Princetown!
Here's a thread of pics:

Here's Sheeps Tor. I have *never* seen it from this vantage point before. I couldn't believe it when I saw it!

We go there often, so next time I'm taking the binos to see it I can make out this spot

Here's the Hemerdon tungsten mine, formerly owned by Wolf Minerals. If you zoom in, you can see the solar field. Currently, that sits on what was at the top of a wooded area where we used to do Easter egg hunts for our kids.

Here are the kids with the last haul in 2013

The wood got ripped down the following year. I cried a lot.

Anyway, cartoon clouds & beautiful views were to be had! Drinking in the Dartmoor goodness without being able to get there

The tors on the left are ENORMOUS and are just past the Dartmoor Inn at Merrivale. Yup,nice been at the top of those too, but for the life of me I can't remember their names right now. It's also s good spot to watch sparrow murmurations

Here's a close up of a Palmerston folly: Eggbuckland Keep!

It was up for sale a little while ago, but sadly it went for slightly more than the 50p I could offer...

Popped down to see the final resting place of Sgt. Atwell, and the moon was looking fine in the clear blue sky

It was HUGE! I mean, I realise the moon is naturally big... You know what I mean!

Anyway, the point of this thread: sometimes, you just have to take stock of what you have around you. Sometimes you just have to *see* the beauty that is there, but you just overlooked it because it's everyday noise to you.

Take notice of what you have, & rejoice in it xxx
