St Lawrence’s Church, Warkworth, Northumberland

We had a couple of stop-offs on the way home from Bamburgh, the first being the village of Warkworth and its medieval castle, church and hermitage.

Considering the size of the village, the most notable thing that sprang to mind is the number of cars we noticed… the high street was lined with parked cars, the central car park was full, and the riverside car park was filling quickly, yet we saw no one in the village! We did spot a couple of locals painting their window frames and front doors which probably explains why the place is immaculate! You can walk around the village in an hour or two and still have time for a coffee break such is the compactness of the place.

Even the church and its grounds were immaculate and not a soul to be seen within, hence my title!

;-) I´ve been told it´s modern to take blurred photos...

OFC it was an accident - the peacock didn´t cooperate. Like the result though ;-)

View On Black

Hello everyone :) This is a short come-back. Even though I've been busy these days, not necessary doing what I'd like to, but I want to stop by and say hi to all of you, my friends. And I'll tried to catch up with your works slowly, please forgive me -_-

The only problem is I don't have anything new to share with you. So I spent some time sorting in my old pictures that hadn't been posted. This is what I got :D This flower was in fact quite tiny. And it wasn't really frost, just the natural texture of the opening bud, with lovely fuzzy fibers crawling around ^^

I've been looking at this little fellow trying to figure out what species he belongs to. Is he an immature broad-tailed or a calliope? Not sure. As he is just beginning to gain his beautiful gorget, it reminds me of a youngster just starting to get facial hair. So....Peach-fuzz sure seems like an appropriate name!

My sincere thanks to all who spend the time to view, like or comment on my photos. It is much appreciated!

Macro Mondays -- Pick Two: Fuzzy and Abstract.

This week's theme for Mosaic Montage Monday was Peach Fuzz, Pantone's Color of the Year for 2024. My mug came on time this year and I am ready to go! HMMM! And Happy New Year 2024!

First time trying a long expotion om waterfalk

Dusky Moorhen (Gallinula tenebrosa) juvenile

A quick stop at Skeleton Creek on the way home today to see how all the babies are going. There were a number of Moorhens on the creek with their young.

I think this is a Fountain Grass of some sort, but I’m not really sure.

Cyrtopogon lateralis is a species of robber fly which I have only seen once before this.

This one had caught a leaf hopper which I've been told is one in the Balclutha genus and given where this was found, it has to be B. rhenana or B. punctata. The hopper must have been very tasty because the fly kept coming back to the same rock with it to have lunch.

I closed in and tried to get a good shot (some successfully) and it took off, only to loop back and land on the same rock again and then we kept repeating that over and over again.

I eventually shifted lens to the Canon MP-E65mm and took a couple of more shots, but then it let go of the prey. Another one of those shots here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/52352927398/

Warthogs are day animals and spend most of their time looking for food. They are normally found in family groups. Warthogs have the peculiar habit of kneeling on the front knees while feeding and foraging in a localised area. They shelter in burrows at night, which they enter tail first. Socially, three main groups are encountered, namely solitary boars, bachelor groups and matriarchal groups. Matriarchal groups consist of adult sows with their young and yearlings. Boars play no part in rearing piglets.

I *love* this year's color. :)

"In seeking a hue that echoes our innate yearning for closeness and connection, we chose a color radiant with warmth and modern elegance. A shade that resonates with compassion, offers a tactile embrace, and effortlessly bridges the youthful with the timeless."

In August, I went peach picking on Long Island's North Fork. The peaches were bigger and juicier than any peaches I had seen or tasted before. In addition to bringing many home, I ate a bunch straight off of the trees (to test them!), and had peach juice all over my face by the end of the morning. Yum. A delicious experience!

Early spring the Columbine's start to bloom as well an everything else but for the fine white fiber I have no clue where it come's from but I do know it's not from the Columbine but the flower has a sticky substance to it.
