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.
Uwe.....
Gebaut 1914.......Gesunken im Dezember 1975 im dichten Nebel nach einer Kollision zweier Frachtschiffe. Dabei drehte sich eines (Die Wiedau) in den Kurs der Uwe und durchtrennte diese Mitschiffs. Ein Besatzungsmitglied der Wiedau wurde eingeklemmt und ertrank. Ansonsten wurden alle Besatzungsmitglieder aller drei Schiffe gerettet.

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 :)

No pilot required. Just a childhood toy, made by Hubley. It's a diecast metal US Airforce plane replica made in the 1960s or 1970's as a childhood toy.

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! :)
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.
