Trapped on a Journey somewhere...

Ever felt that way?

Another abstract shot which I found appealing. A rich green field adjacent to Elsea Wood near Bourne in Lincolnshire. The feather seemed trapped on its journey somewhere.

Tulips

I haven’t been to the annual Spalding Tulip festival for many a year, but with living so close to the town I can’t help enjoy the flowers around the area.

Pride of Lincolnshire

We are very proud to live on one of the main flight paths of the Memorial Flight as it visits various communities during the summer months. Today we were out (after watching the Royal wedding) so missed the flight flying to London. However, we went to Tattershall Castle a short distance from the home of the Memorial Flight and were treated to their return after tipping their wings to the local villagers.

Always makes us feel greatful to all those from all countries who paid the ultimate sacrifice for us all.

Anyway, we had a wonderful walk around the the fields surrounding the castle grounds. A beautiful buiulding dating back to the 1440s.

Saint Andrews, Dowsby in Lincs.

A favourite subject of mine is the little church about 4 miles away in Dowsby. St Andrew's prettiness is enhanced, this year, with its yellow moat of Oilseed.


I hope you enjoy.

Oilseed in Manthorpe

The Oilseed is abundant and I have been looking around for the scenes which were around last year - only better.

With crop rotation there are more opportunities for alternative shots. The weather today was more like a summer's day here in England, but there was a smog warning about air quality and (I am not imagining this) there was a certain amount of haze around though the sun was beautifully bright and the day cloudless and hot.


This shot was taken not far from Bourne just outside Manthorpe.

A Loco in Quorn

A shot from Flickr was invited to join the "Dinmore Manor Locomotive Ltd locomotives." I was very pleased, and of course, accepted the invite.

A 'post card' style shot of one of the steam engines at Quorn station in Leicestershire.

Quorn Station

Went for a photo meet at Quorn Station in Leicestershire with my friends on the Olympus Forum (yes I know I'm 'Canon' now, but hey, they didn't mind) We wanted to catch a few diesel and steam trains as they went buy. It's a lovely place and worth a visit on a nice day - like today - especially if you have a Canon 7D or any Olympus camera  :)
