Bus 27 taking chalk farmers to the chalk farm at Chalk Farm to farm chalk. Due to the food crisis the poor use chalk mixed with flour in making bread. I blame Boris Johnson.

One of the soldiers chalks his hands before another gruelling round in Saturday's Highland Regiments Tug O' War Challenge at the 2016 Glengarry Highland Games.
Won't be to long before these beauties are on the wing again- a male Chalk-Hill Blue ( Polyommatus coridon) - this was taken at Aston Rowant NR back in 2015
We visited Butser Ancient Farm. It is a site of experimental archaeology and is open to the public at weekends and school holidays. They teach crafts from the time periods they cover I.e. from late Stone Age through to Late Anglo Saxon. Paid for courses this weekend were weaving and making stone tools. Free to try was carving and jewellery making in chalk and making string. A very interesting day.

This is a newly emerged Chalk Hill Blue butterfly, which had been left in the shade with its wings still open. The softer, subtle colours of UK butterflies, in my opinion, suit lightly shaded, diffused lighting.
Happy Easter to all my fellow Flickr friends!
It's late on an April Sunday afternoon, clouds and peekaboo light are beginning to appear from a drab day while I sip coffee at a city franchise. I often enjoy a dozen places near the city that I can access quickly, within 15 minutes should the weather turn favourable. Each location is unique, the light different, the landscape seasonally ripe, the feelings inescapable.
The land where this small abandoned school house sits now sports a 'For Sale' sign beside the barbed wire fence. I don't imagine the new owner will keep the building, I've asked a few folks the history but I haven't landed an informative answer for my prairie diary. I've visited here many a time over the years. Peering through a window, inside a few dusty desks and chalk board remain, as well a couple ruffled books on the floor.
The scenario is all too familiar, someone from the area will frantically appear and ask what the devil I'm up too. Today a young fellow asks why I'd want to photograph this derelict junk structure. I begin to understand where his perspective originates. He sees this place most every day, it begins to look all too familiar and worthless. I explain the prairies are often about the feelings they evoke, not the literal facts that determine locations on a grid map. And it is this interpretation where we discover meaning, significance, and imagination.
I suggest a movie called 'Waste Land', and he reluctantly agrees to give it a chance. And here I thought the day would be a wash myself.

White-Tailed Kite
Elanus leucurus
Taken in Santa Rosa, CA, USA. As a professor who teaches in an old building where dry erase has yet to come into vogue, this reminds me of an integral part of my daily imagery. Art imitating life?...Or, is it the other way around?... ;-)
Thank you for your views, faves and comments. Deeply appreciated.
Not sure why this coloured chalk was left on this wooden cover on Cardwells Keep but I liked the texture and shadows

Chalk's operated scheduled seaplane services mostly to the Bahamas from their main base Miami Seaplane Base (MPB) until 2001. In Sept, 2007, the US Department of Transportation revoked the flying charter license for the airline and later that year, the airline ceased operations.
