going home

one of my favourite sights at sunset on a cold evening

more from the Constable school of photography

the mist starts rising as the sun warms up a cold forest stream on a frosty morning

holmbush

there is no doubt that we live in an interesting place. These are the old mine workings at Holmbush, which have been restored is very well preserved and are part of the world heritage mining site, and lies in the shadow of Kit Hill.

moon lane

It is hard to reproduce the illusion of the enlargement of the moon as it rises on the horizon. It seemed appropriate to have a buzzard watch over us. The first few lambs have appeared although the lambing season now goes on for many months. Otherwise not much has happened hence lack of photos and blogging.

the first signs of hope

at long last the shoots of early (although by now quite late) daffodils, and of the first snowdrops have started to emerge ... the nights are getting shorter so all that tree worship seems to have worked yet again.

first of the new year

the jays were being especially querulous today, goodness knows what about.
