Hoylake to Gilroy footpath this morning. Sharp shower thankfully passed quickly. Across the old municipal golf course, past the fields where the scrapes will be, briefly into the nature park (pond dry) and ended up by the apple trees (a variable but in some cases decent crop in prospect).

A narrow, winding path runs through a field of dry grass under a partly cloudy sky. A cloudy sky looms over a green field bordered by tall grasses and bushes. A dirt path leads through an entrance marked by a wooden sign for Gilroy Nature Park, surrounded by dense green foliage. A narrow path runs through an orchard with apple trees on either side under a cloudy sky.
