Walking in my local woods this fallen tree’s golden brown stopped me, with the fresh spring beach leaves above and the wash of blue below.
An impromptu flyover by this swan today at Pitsford Reservoir, which stirred me into action, with no time to adjust the camera settings.
In fact this photo was a little underexposed, so this is a cropped and slightly tweaked version.
going to work and coming home in the cold, dark and sometimes damp days. We forget what a day in May is like. Just a reminder :)

Hi guys and gals thanks for helping me out with Mayday. This is me holding her (I've assigned her a gender sue me lol)
She seems alright enough still a bit slow when it comes to food (has trouble seeing it unless it's right in front of her) and also has a bit of trouble drinking. She still can't fly BUT she's got her balance and can "Flutter Jump".
I'll keep you all updated because i'm going to look after her all night and gather her some food in the morning and hopefully she'll be okay! :)
Okay, so this is from last night at the Give Me Summer Your Love Tour. This was the best line up in the world. We won early entry to the concert, and I went with my sister. We arrived at the venue at about 4:30pm. We met up with my friends Christine, Julie, and Kaitlyn. We finally were allowed in at about 6:30pm. When we got in, we were the third row from the stage. The concert began at 7:30 with We Are the in Crowd, and they were a good band, considering I had never heard their music. At about 8:30 Mayday Parade came on. Mayday Parade is one of my favorite bands in the world. About two songs in, I had a panic attack, and security had to pull me over the barrier. In the process, my shoes fell off my feet because I was wearing flip flops. Once I was out, they pulled my sister out, then my friend Julie. (Christine and Kaitlyn left before Mayday even came on). I got water and what not, and I pulled myself together to enjoy the rest of the night. After Mayday Parade we bought Merch. Finally, All Time Low came on. They were so amazing. I love them so so much! You have no idea. Best concert ever. Best night of my life actually. But, it gets better…
After the show, we ran to the back of the building where the tour buses are. (I still had no shoes). It was raining and we realized we were running behind Zack, a member of All Time Low. He ignored us though. :( ! So, there were about twenty people in a line, and we got into it! We waited about an hour in the rain and they told us all to move to the other side of the lot. We ended up meeting Jack and Alex from All Time Low, which I was dreaming of doing! They signed my ticket and Alex gave me a hug. And Jack told me Merry Christmas. I love my life!

Ok, I'm really spamming today, but I'm just sooooo inspired right now with my dolls. It's Labour Day holiday on top of it all, so I'm spending it photographing out there in the sunshine. Yaya and Lili are celebrating Mayday too in their pretty outfits and (tiny) balloons. ;)

North Parade, Oxford
When the shenanigans die down in the city centre there is a drift to North Parade. 'May Day is Midday at North Parade' runs the slogan. The road is closed to traffic between about 12 noon and 2pm. Around noon, morris sides from the city centre arrive to dance outside the Rose & Crown. Oxford City Morris act as hosts, and regulars include Oxford University Morris Men, Abingdon Traditional, Charlbury, Crendon, Wolvercote and the Summertown Morris. The Rose & Crown, with the Gardener's Arms, traditionally feed and water the morris sides from a 'street-based barbecue', selling to the public after the morris are victualled.
The Rose & Crown hosts impromptu musical sessions in its rear courtyard. Though the dancing stops around 2pm, the pub sessions may go on to 5 or 6pm.
TRADITIONAL PATTERN OF EVENTS
May Morning Oxford is an ever-changing celebration and there is no fixed programme. What follows is the general pattern of events...
Magdalen Bridge
5am: around this time, crowds start assembling on Magdalen Bridge.
6am: as the sun come up the Magdalen College choir sing the Hymnus Eucharistus from the Great Tower. After a brief service there are more short choral pieces. Then bells ring out for some 20 minutes.
City Centre
As soon as the choir finishes, there is a procession from the Bridge up the High Street to the city centre. Morris dancing begins around 6.20 am in Radcliffe Square, and continues for nearly three hours at various locations including Broad Street, Catte Street, under the Bridge of Sighs, in front of St John's College on St Giles and on the forecourt of the Ashmolean Museum.
Around 6.20 am also, the tumultuous, green-themed Hurly Burly Whirly by God it's Early Band starts playing traditional dance tunes from the steps of the Clarendon Building on Broad Street. Expect bagpipes, fiddles, squeezeboxes, drums - and delirious dancing crowds.
Meanwhile, Highland dance can be seen in Radcliffe Square, just outside All Souls, and others contribute in impromptu fashion to the revels. After the singing from Magdalen Tower, Horns of Plenty - Oxford's community street band - entertains the crowds proceeding up the High Street. Also on the High, Brazilian rhythms come courtesy of Sol Samba, an exotic percussion and dance troupe who tend to hang back from the main parade so that their drumming does not overwhelm the morris music.
And a Jack-in-the-Green can be seen in the city centre. He appears with the morris men gathered at Magdalen Bridge. After the Hymnus he proceeds up the High Street to feature in displays in Radcliffe Square, Broad Street - and at a concluding rendition of 'Bonny Green Garters' outside St John's College on St Giles around 8.30am. For more on the Oxford 'Jack' see The Morris in Oxford.
Things quieten down for a bit around 9am as the massed morris retire for a private breakfast at St Edmund's Hall. But they start up again around 10am as dancing resumes outside the Ashmolean Museum.
At noon, May Day celebrations continue at North Parade.
Mayday Mayday; A crashed plane! Went down because of the heavy weather conditions.
This memorial commemorates the 117 Allied airmen who were slain around Harderwijk in World War II. Many of the planes crashed into the IJsselmeer after the victims washed ashore or were missing.
