And the title I’ve chosen this week for the #2019picoftheweek challenge is… FEET
Whitlingham Country Park: 1st Oct 2019
I swear the swans at Whitlingham enjoy having their photos taken. This one patiently posed. But he didn’t realise I was after his feet.

Red light slipping into yellow
Tones everything it touches mellow
Through the windowpane, it peeps
O’er the windowsill, it creeps
A welcome in the room it fills
Contrasts with the seeping chills
That this autumnal time of year does bring

It is imperative we reduce CO2 levels from its present level of 400 ppm, to 150 ppm.
You’re sure you heard that right, Buster? Only at 150 ppm all plant life dies.
Yeah, sure. That’s the only way to solve the problem of our ever-increasing population levels.
Isn’t that taking a mallet to crack an egg? Bloody crazy politicians with their ultimatums.

Mist-veiled, Wishy sat on the rock and sobbed.
Look what they’re doing! Robbing her of her sacred gifts.
Who are these men anyway, grubbing around in her lake now the water level’s down? Didn’t they know the curses they brought upon themselves and their kind?
It wasn’t their kind who’d laid those gifts with peace in their heart, and love. Peace, for they’d fought enough, and killed enough. Swords they gave, and feasting bowls. Helmets and shields, torcs and brooches, crafted with a keen eye for Wishy in her many forms; crafted to please her. And how they did please her.
For centuries she had guarded and treasured them. And now, as if from her womb, they were torn.

In 1857 Swiss archaeologist Hans Kopp discovered what was to be revealed as a Celtic treasure trove at La Tène on the shore of Lake Neuchâtel. To date, over 2,500 relics dating from the late Iron Age (450-50BC) have been uncovered. Want to know more? See Simon Bradley at swissinfo.ch

The wild plum cross-pollinates freely with the orchard-grown varieties… greengage, damson, you name it. So I’m not going to name this one thing or another.
Damson or Bullace… or is it Sloe? 19 August 2019

I had to include this. Love the colours.
One of the titles for #2019picoftheweek challenge is My Favourite Things. Nine months now I’ve been pondering on this. When the answer was there all the time.
My Favourite Things: 2nd Sept 2019
The wide blue sky. Trees in full leaf offering shade. And a slow running river, its surface smooth as a mirror.

I know the spirit of that dell
The malicious sprite that therein dwell
Strews the hill with nut and stick
Then loudly laughs when walkers, skidding, come down quick
