Stepping off the train at Middlesbrough last week, I gloried in the early morning sunshine. It was one of those days when everything feels magical, and your heart sings!
When I passed this car park at the University of Teesside, I had to stop and dig out my camera. The light around the edge of the hedge and plants was so compelling. Then I caught sight of a little tree ...
I don't know what species it is, but bejewelled in light, it had the appearance of a transcendent sylvan being!

On a completely different note, something else which has been making me exuberantly happy all week is the wonderful Yeo Valley advert. Pure genius and great fun too! You can view it on their Yeotube channel!!
It's very unusual for me to make a purchase as a result of a TV advert, but I just had to try some Yeo Valley joghurt ... Oh, exquisite yumminess!! I bought two big pots, a Greek style probiotic joghurt, and a vanilla. Unless I'm very self-disciplined, they'll both be finished by this evening! Yeo, Yeo!

What a small world! You are not far from us at all - we are just outside Whitby!
Whitby is a lovely place, and the surrounding countryside - lucky you!
Is that little tree practicing for Halloween? It looks spooky enough. Ah, yes... those probiotics - they're in everything now!
I suppose the tree could look spooky, Prospero! To me it looked enchantingly joyful!
I discovered Greek yogurt about a year ago and will eat no other. :)
P.S. Just watched the vid, LOVE it! As a rap fan, I normally don't like rap done by non-rappers as it comes off stilted, but this really works. Love the lyrics, attitude, and photography. Love the cow hood ornament and doing wheelies in a tractor!! But Yoe Valley isn't a real place, is it? Where is the stuff made?
Hi Monica! The video really does work, doesn't it!
Yeo valley is a real place in the UK, in Somerset - there are some more videos on the Yeotube site. I visited Yeovil and other areas of Somerset many years ago, and it's beautiful.
I'd not been aware of the Yeo Valley dairy products before, as I'm not really into shopping for food, but now I've tried the joghurt, I'm hooked!
It's so nice to see you back again with your beautiful photos and take on life. I watched the ad and thought that I'd be inclined to buy the yogurt too. Very clever and very well done!
Thank you Pondside! I'm glad to be back!
It's lovely to see you back Ingrid and to see that you share my love of Yeo Valley yoghurt ....which I loved before they did that great advert! I like the black cherry one best! :)
I love your photo of the little tree too.
Thank you Nutty Gnome!
I'll have to try the black cherry one next. Think I'll work my way through the whole Yeo Valley range ... and then start at the beginning again!
that little tree looks stunning in the light! Wonderful photos in this and your last post!
Thank you Crafty Green Poet! The light has been amazing over the last few weeks, and is today, also.
Hi Ingrid, it's been a long time since I visited. My posts have been soo sporadic but I always did miss seeing your posts so glad to see you back, too! Hope you've been well and keeping busy with doing all things you love. When I see benches in the landscape, I always think of you! Lynn ;)
Hello Lynn, lovely to hear from you! My posts will probably be a little sporadic too, as I have so much art/music work to do. My bench for today will be the little wooden stool I use for working outside - the autumn sunshine is calling! :)
Loved the sunshine on the tree trunk!
Good to see you blogging again. I had a little while off also but am back today. Love to have you come visit again.
Thank you Paulie! I shall come across and visit.
A glorious little tree and a great advert. Have not seen it on our tv screen yet. We have consumed Yeo Valley yohurts for some time now. Most yummy :)
They are indeed most yummy, Anna!
There are some really good plantings around the campus of Teesside University.
Lovely light . . . your last tree reminds me of one called something like 'walking stick' . . . I do not recall the latin name. ;>)
I think I know the one you mean, Carol - I'll have to go and look it up!
