I have been wanting to do a tree shadow for a while today the wait for the bus was long enough and the wind was still enough.
Macro Mondays's ~ "Perfect Match"
Maybe not so grate together?
This is an expression that has been part of the English language for a very long time. According to some scholars, John Gower was the first person to use it in his text ‘Confessio Amantis' written in 1390.
When you say that two people are like ‘chalk and cheese', you are suggesting that they are very different from each other; they have nothing in common.
Thanks so much for all views, fav's and comments! HMM!

The crayons were all over the picnic table, so I put them in a nice stack.

"Records show that Europe was the birthplace of the "modern" crayon. The first crayons were made from a mixture of charcoal and oil. Later, powdered pigments of various hues replaced the charcoal.
Crayola Crayons were invented by Binney & Smith in 1902. The trade name Crayola was coined by Mrs. Edwin Binney who joined the French word "craie," meaning stick of chalk and "ola" from the word "oleaginous," meaning oily. Crayola Crayons are made primarily from paraffin wax and color pigment."
Chalk Fragrant Orchid (Gymnadenia conopsea) in the hay meadows, Hartington (Derbyshire Wildlife Trust).
This beautiful, silvery-blue butterfly, so characteristic of warm chalk and limestone hillsides, has declined throughout the last century, mainly as a result of ploughing of its downland habitat. The cessation of grazing by sheep and also by rabbits, following myxomatosis, has hastened this decline, allowing for the flowery sward to become overgrown and unsuitable.
Nevertheless, the species is still widespread and stable in much of southern England, and in some places the population may be huge.

"You came and look'd and loved the view, Long-known and loved by me, Green Sussex fading into blue, with one gray glimpse of sea." Tennyson.

Annie and I did a square in the Chalk Art Festival that takes place in downtown Bellingham every summer.
Macro of the texture of my slate chalkboard where I jot my cooking notes / recipes.
Figured I'd color a little and throw my logo in the mix so here is the right portion of my DJ logo in white.
The usual shot of the Seven Sisters includes the coastguard houses which I think look better in B&W with the chimney shapes and white cliffs. (Will post later).
The Cuckmere river meanders down a flat valley and enters the sea between the cliffs,see above, and was used by smugglers years ago, hence the reason for Coastguard houses.
Unfortunately the cliffs are eroding below the houses, just to the left of this shot, work is being carried out to try and prevent erosion.
The gorse was out so thought this would make an interesting foreground and the cliffs show up better from the viewpoint in the above shot .

Chalking on the flagstones in front of Parrish, concurrent with Ride the Tide weekend for the newly admitted class.
(I've always been interested in the social history of the Swarthmore chalking tradition.)
I realised when I took this shot that I had posted a similar image in the past. Now I prefer not to repeat myself but looking back it was over four years ago. So a second shot does not seem excessive
The chalk cliffs at Flamborough did look rather lovely in the bright Autumn light
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT HAVE A GREAT DAY

From Wikipedia: "The Jasmund National Park is a nature reserve in the Jasmund peninsula, in the northeast of Rügen island in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany. It is famous for the largest chalk cliffs of Germany, the so called Königsstuhl (German = "king's chair"). These cliffs are up to 161 m high above the Baltic Sea. The undisturbed beech forests behind the cliffs are also part of the national park." see more on en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jasmund_National_Park or de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nationalpark_Jasmund
This stocky, long tailed bird with its distinctive eye streak is more slender and longer necked than a thrush but has a similar vocal mastery, being an accomplished mimic.
