4 March 2016

Just the same old views to start with.  Nothing changes.  Well, not in a hurry.






Maybe a bit more of the geronimos will help brighten things up.


What does look interesting, but hard to see from up here, is the grave covered in snowdrops.  You can just about make it out, just in front of a hedge to the left of the tree.  Later I'd take a closer look.


We've had quite a few visitors appearing over the last week.  This little group were there on Saturday.


Sometimes the weather makes things appear a little more dramatic, like this shaft of sun against the stormy sky.


And we had a mass magpie visit.  But, of course, by the time I had the lens pointing in the right direction....  You can see one in the first pic and two in the second.  You'll just have to believe me when I say there were six there a few seconds earlier.  Would I lie to you?



So I went down to have a closer look at the grave with the snowdrop covering.  All deaths are a tragedy to somebody, but some just have that extra coating of pathos.  Underneath those little white flowers is a 21 year old guy who died in late 1989.  Beneath his details it says he became the father of a daughter - in early 1990.  Makes you wonder who decided on the snowdrops.


The grave is in a corridor that has quite a bit of floral activity.


 If the weather holds I'll have another wander about next week and see what's of interest.
