Flowing Wells Library held a celebration on February 24, 2019 for its grand re-opening after being completely renovated
Regina septemvittata is an inhabitant of clear, flowing limestone streams across much of Kentucky. It is a prey specialist of crayfish. Queen Snakes are fascinating to observe within their aquatic domain, and finding multiple individuals hiding under a single rock is always fun. The above specimen was found with a friend, as we flipped rocks on a late summer's day.
The Madina is my favorite little river in Texas. During the summer it dried up and bummed me out. While visiting my parents, we decided to take a drive and see if the rain helped. It did thankfully as she was finally flowing. We could use a bit more water in it though...

This work by artist Tom Price, also responsible for the Kyneburgh Tower - represents a flowing wall and is just a stone's throw from the tower itself.
Hiking in Little Cottonwood Canyon last night, can't wait for the leaves to start to change. I did run across some really neat spots on the river though.

The north chancel window contains the bulk of the church's surviving ancient glass, assembled here in the latter part of the 19th century (by glaziers who added their own pieces which may confuse the untrained eye). The centre light contains three heraldic quatrefoils relocated from the traceries of other windows in the church.
Bilton lies immediately west of Rugby and though originally a rural village it is now very much a suburb of the town. It still however retains some of its village character and its ancient parish church of St Mark is happily set away from the busy roads in a more peaceful enclave, its spire and tower emerging from the dense surrounding foliage to announce its presence.
St Mark's church dates back to the mid 14th century and is a good example of the Decorated style with its large windows adorned with flowing tracery. All of the surviving medieval work dates from this phase (there were doubtless earlier buildings on the site that were in turn replaced) and the tower and spire have remained unaltered ever since. The body of the church however has seen some dramatic alterations since it originally only consisted of an aisle-less nave and chancel.
The first major intervention came in 1873 when G.F.Bodley restored the church (the chancel adornments and east window are of this time) and extended it by adding the present north aisle. The second major extension came as recently as 1962 when the south aisle was added to balance that on the north, greatly increasing the interior space. On both occasions the work was done very sensitively by simply dismantling the medieval nave walls and re-assembling them further outwards to create the aisles, so that technically only their end walls are new work (along with the roofs and arcades within), thus one could be forgiven for inspecting the exterior with its ancient stonework and not suspecting any enlargement had taken place (I'd known the church for years having grown up locally, but only recently found out parts of it are only twelve years older than I am!).
The interior is now more open and spacious than it ever was before, the new south aisle being particularly light and pleasant within. Few will notice that the three-bay nave arcades aren't ancient, as Bodley's work on the north ably mimics medieval work and the newer arches on the south side imitate them (a rare example of church architecture of this period being so sensitive, trying so hard to subtly fit in with earlier work). The chancel beyond is more richly furnished with fine stalls and a handsome organ case from one of the Cambridge colleges, redecorated with gilding and Bodley's stenciling on the wall around it. There are several stained glass windows of varying dates and styles from the Victorian period but the real treasures here are the surviving fragments of the church's original 14th century glass, collected mostly into the north chancel window (a few more are set high up in the east window of the north aisle). Most of what remains is a jumble of fragments (with a few deceptive Victorian heads thrown into the mix) along with some reset heraldic tracery lights, but the tiny scene of a man about to slaughter a pig at the lower right corner ('December' from a series of the medieval 'Labours of the Months') is a real gem.
Years ago St Mark's church used to be open more regularly, but these days is normally only open for services, so one is best advised to make prior arrangements to see inside or visit after a service as I did on this occasion (many thanks to Reverend Tim for staying on slightly longer before locking up to allow me a little more time to finish).
Another experimentation photo of the effect of shutter speed on water.
Used a shutter speed of 1/160 and aperture of f5.6 again to get this effect. Was taken with more natural light available than of the last picture, so could edit out the remaining details in the background so that it has a nice plain white background.
After 32mm of rain in the last 24 hours Cedar Creek is now flowing again. This is our local swimming (wading) hole.

My travels around the UK by car for three weeks with my son. June/July 2019 Wales.
Day Nine .. Driving through the Snowdonia area making our way to Hirael where we are staying the night.
Snowdonia is a mountainous region in northwestern Wales and a national park of 823 square miles (2,130 km2) in area. It was the first to be designated of the three national parks in Wales, in 1951. It contains the highest peaks in the United Kingdom outside of Scotland.
The English name for the area derives from Snowdon, which is the highest mountain in Wales at 3560 ft (1,085 m). In Welsh, the area is named Eryri. A commonly held belief is that the name is derived from eryr ("eagle"), and thus means 'the abode/land of eagles', but recent evidence is that it means Highlands, and is related to the Latin oriri (to rise) as leading Welsh scholar Sir Ifor Williams proved.
The term Eryri first appeared in a manuscript in the 9th-century Historia Brittonum, in an account of the downfall of the semi-legendary 5th-century king Gwrtheyrn (Vortigern).
In the Middle Ages the title Prince of Wales and Lord of Snowdonia (Tywysog Cymru ac Arglwydd Eryri) was used by Llywelyn ap Gruffudd; his grandfather Llywelyn Fawr used the title Prince of north Wales and Lord of Snowdonia.
