'Make hay while the sun shines', they say. In this case, I was making hay while the sun was NOT shining - that is, going out for a morning walk while the sky was deeply overcast and the temperature quite pleasant. The sun soon burned off the haze and it got hot again later in the day. I suspect too that some of the haze is a result of smoke from the several moorland fires there have been in the valley.
What I hadn't expected to see was a hayfield just on the edge of Saltaire. I can't say I've ever noticed these fields cut like this before. It's a small acreage where someone keeps a couple of horses; the white horse is visible, the black one is camouflaged against the dark trees. Perhaps the sun-dried grass was just too tempting to leave this year. It'll make good fodder for the winter months, I guess.
