Evening, Stables

cemetery sky

Summer Sky

After the Storm

What the Thunder Said

Cirrus clouds

Evening Sky

taken from the back door

Clear Skies

Sunburst

Dusk

pink clouds
as coloured lights flicker -
the road home beckons

Sky Watching

Morning skies
clear and tinged
with salmon pink

My favourite
view from the dogfield.
Cemetery tractor.

Vapour trail
and security cam
keeping watch

Last year's growth
like hairs on gnarled fingers -
council manicures

Frabjous Sky

Dramatic sky today

though few decent photographs to be had.

I like the line of poplars here. I know very few cemeteries where poplars are so popular.

View from under the spreading chestnut trees.

Trickster found a small-boy sized hole under the thorny sloe thicket. It was strewn with beer cans.

A field I rarely venture to -- too full of kids and other dogs to let mine have a run.

Soggy football pitch, fabulous sky.

Garden and Cemetery

Rusted parrafin lamp
still lights our path
better then dead fairy lights.





Echinacea blooms --
cheerful daisies
among the nasturtiums.

Dark clouds over the meadow
Poplar trees are popular
in cemeteries

Horse chestnuts
swelling in the rain
and the August sun.

Plastic flowers
adorn a Beech
One wonders why.

ooh! I'm not here today!

Sky Fishes
jump into clouds to spawn
Sculpture at Morrison's.

View from the shed roof
About time I tidied this up
My greenhouse looks good.

Only stalks remain: a testament to optimism versus slug love of basil.

I am in Newcastle Upon Tyne for the day. How jolly spiffing!

Skies and Gates

I couldn't resist a shot of the sky today. Although it was so windy I had to wear my ancient and very ratty leather coat (and peaked cap) and looked like a cantankerous old bloke (aren't they all?) i couldn't complain about the sun or the sky. Magical.

These are the cemetery gates. I'm tempted to visualise these when I talk about the gates of Laverstone Manor. They're not quite what i had in mind but they're close.

Another one of the sky with an X marks the spot. and a Bear running about madly.

Books, Sky, Fence, Dogs

Lane posted some pictures of her bookshelves and invited others to do the same. Mine are in a dreadful mess, but here's one of the main bookcase in the study. My PC is just to the right of this, with my back facing the bookcase. The top shelf is the most interesting - it's full of writing how-to's and hitting people with swords and weapons how-to's.*

*I know there isn't supposed to be an apostrophe in 'to's' but how else would one write it? 'tos' just looks wrong!

Fantastical sky promises storms and lightning - does not deliver.

I spied a small fence
and a couple of sheds
and a rusty fire bin.

Trickster, happy to see me return from the shop (I was away all of three minutes),
Jack, *not talking*
and Bear wondering what's going on and who I am.

Skies and sheds

Beautiful skies today.
Heavy and pendulous, though it cheered up a bit later.

Iron paling fence with a side-serving of shed -
at the allotments next to the cemetery.

The allotment path.

What's that? Another shed?



It's a shed made from an old railway goods van!
