A Picture for Sunday - Wet Fields

This photo was taken in October 2012, after a ridiculously wet summer.  The ground was totally saturated, the ditches were full and fields had large pools of standing water.  This is one of my favourite walks.  Then, as now, a walk was a squelchy trek in wellies through mud.  The scene now is much the same, but the trees are still bare, and the oak in the distance has had a battering from the strong winds this winter.  We have only had a couple of night frosts here all winter, just wind and rain instead.  And rain.  And yet more rain.  For me, this picture isn't pretty.
