First saw these two characters cautiously investigating three mallard ducks that had appeared in their field near Snowshill Manor in Gloucestershire.
Unfortunately before I could get my camera out of the bag their mother called them and they immediately ran for her protection. After a few minutes the pair wandered back to the spot where the ducks were but to their disappointment they had gone. Ahh!

This is the back of the building I recently added to my Flickr, one or two posts back. It has an interesting history, from hosting celebrities as a hotel to its current private academy tenants. It's one of those places that just kind of stands out from the others.

Like many folks after I’ve been working hard, either physically or mentally, I like to grab a camera and relax by capturing a few images. This afternoon I finished building a ‘honey-do’ project in the backyard and I had a little bit of available time. So, I grabbed one of my...
mocha and meijers, what an exciting life eh?
saw U2 in 3D at imax today.... simplyfuckingamazing.
my only complaint is not being able to sing (loudly and badly) in the theatre. this would be the perfect outing for a group of like minded folks. Overtake the Henry Ford and be maniacs. Who's down? Spike - I know you're in.
outside Rochester Minn...this 160 acre farm was purchased by a German Immigrant, George Stoppel and his wife for $200 in 1856....after spending the first winter in a 'dugout' construction began on a log cabin home. The limestone home was a slow project with outbuildings being constructed as the farming operation succeeded. The farm is now on the national register.....
I'm fairly confident that this is Lemidia, and I am wondering how varied cicatricosa is? I have found that once before and this seems along the same lines. This is where I need Justin to magically appear from the ether :-)
Interesting rock by the beach at Cathedral Cove.
This beach was the opening scene of the 2008 movie "The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian".
How exciting! Explored. (# 19) 20th March 2011. Now #75
In Why Religion Matters I quoted Rilke’s observation that we should conceive of God not as an object but as a direction. Everyone wants for herself or himself what is better; nobody wants what’s worse. And like a magnetic compass turning north, I always tried to head in the direction of the better, which is the direction to God. The surprise was that the directions that appeared to lead away from Christianity led me deeper into it.

Found this while sorting this evening, no idea if this is generally "known" or not. It's tricky to get them to not look crooked, but they really do sit comfortably in place. They don't slide around or fall out if you turn it upside down, and you don't need four to make it work, one will do the same thing on it's own.
Interesting place, with interesting stories to accompany it. I talked to someone at the bar/hotel in town, and there was apparently some sort of fallout between the artist and property owner, and a feud between neighbors that involved gunshots and someone going to jail. I don't know if any of that had something to do with a leg trap found chained to the steering wheel of a delivery truck there!
"There is a quiet in my heart
Like on who rests from days of pain.
Outside, the sparrows on the roof
Are chirping in the dripping rain.
Rain in my heart; rain on the roof;
And memory sleeps beneath the gray
And the windless sky and brings no
dreams
Of any well remembered day."
~ Edgar Lee Masters, 1868-1950 ~
From "Rain in My Heart"
