Searching for and recording the beauty I find (or make) right now is helping me through a difficult patch

Not the best bit of parking. Apparently the driver was pissed as a fart, but escaped serious injury. The nearly footpath is used by kids for school journey.

Thought I'd taken a pic of some lovely cows during a stroll earlier. Maybe next time.

Were you steaking them out?

Here are some Hackney cows (well almost Hackney , on Leyton Marsh)

The Godalming cows were in this field until a week ago...




On Friday I dropped BB2 off at school and walked back to town with her best mate’s mum. She asked where the cows had gone, I told her they were in Farncombe.

“Oh where? Devonte would love to see them again.”

“Farncombe Butchers.”

It's cold and windy overcast day in my part of Surrey today.

I took a ride out past the Tandridge Yew today. I've driven past it regularly for at least 30 years but never stopped to take a closer look. It's reputed to be between 1,000 and 2,500 years old. When the church was built at the end of the 11th Century the builders supposedly constructed vaulting over the already substantial roots even though the foundations are nearly 10 metres away which would suggest it was already a mature tree at the time of the Norman Conquest!

The trunk is massive - I've rested my standard sized rucksack against it in one of the photos to give a sense of scale!

We went to Suffolk for the weekend, 1st time in a hotel for a year (tbf , we only cancelled 2 stays) . Rained all day both days , stopped for a while late Saturday afternoon, so have some night shots of the church & the Crown at Westleton.

Not looking very healthy there.

Let’s see how fresh you look in 2000 years ...

 

[Leafster]

Not looking very healthy there.

The outer branches seem healthy but some closer to the trunk are looking a bit iffy.

It's hollow like so may ancient yews. I'll head over to another local yew when I get a chance. That one's got a door built into it!

This is the sea and I hope to keep the quick dips going into the winter..

I was at Farmoor Reservoir at the weekend and saw a number of birds including cormorants and several geese, plus a clouded yellow butterfly.

Not been in a photo state of mind (so tempted to use frame there ) for a while,
But here my most recent two.

Some cows. But they're a long way away.
