What do we know about Derbyshire? It's a county in the midlands where part of the Peak District is located. It comprises of hill, dales, mountains and rivers. Because of its beautiful landscapes many films were made in the region among those were Pride and Prejudice of Keira Knightley and The Other Boleyn Girl of Scarlett Johansson. Although we didn't go to all these filming locations our journey to the Derbyshire borders didn't disappoint at all.
My husband wanted me to see the Peak District in Debyshire and been saying I'd love it. I kept asking was it really nice but little did I know that nice was an understatement. Since we only had the weekend we picked the popular place Dovedale where The Other Boleyn Girl was also filmed. It's known for its stepping stones, limestone ravine, wildlife and stunning scenery.
Stepping stones on the river Dove.
Dipper perched on one of the rocks. One of the wildlife photographers turned around to me and pointed this bird. She thought my camera was good enough to take a shot. It's a pity it flew afterwards so I only got one.

Lovely, lovely pics, Hyds! I particularly like the third down in each series.
You'll soon have enough to publish a photo essay book, ha ha!
Cheers Gosijo! I'm actually dreaming of that.. would love to do nature photography. Wishful thinking ;-)
WOW... wow ...
Since I love English period films/dramas (though I've not seen that many^^;) your photos make me feel like I've slipped into their world.
AND, I was really looking forward to seeing the stepping stones...
YES, I can see why pinky ring's photos reminded you of them~
I will share this with pinky ring and the other Japanese sisters.
Thank you!

Dear Flowerbossa,
I am truly flaterred. Please tell Pink Ring that she has an eye for great photos and I love her pictures.. and Pallet will always inspire me to learn to sketch. I'm glad they both like the English countryside.
Love,
Hyds
Please say to Pallet, I could only paint and I do miss painting..looking at her sketches makes me want to go back to sketching but I am truly pleased that she's found inspiration in my photographs. That's the least I could do at the moment since I stop painting.
