I always feel like I am observing the world, from some inner landscape, some private place, tucked away on an inner sunny roof ....sometimes it is stunningly beautiful, overwhelmingly marvelous and sometimes it is painfully colorless, stark and cruel. I take notes like a traveler that knows won't be long here and often transform those impression in fleeting images.
At some point, we all leave this place and move on an infinite journey through time and light.
It is best to look at the world with a bird's eye view, most matters become so small, and all is left is the infinite pure spaciousness of the sky above.
Ribwort Plantain is a species of flowering plant in the plantain family Plantaginaceae. It is native to temperate Eurasia, widespread throughout the British Isles, but scarce on the most acidic soils (pH < 4.5). It is present and widespread in the Americas and Australia as an introduced species.
It can live anywhere from very dry meadows to places similar to a rain forest, but it does best in open, disturbed areas. It is therefore common near roadsides where other plants cannot flourish; it grows tall if it can do so, but in frequently-mowed areas it adopts a flat growth habit instead. (Wikipedia)

I have vague memories of playing a game called "conkers" as a child in england. The aim of the gaime would be to whip off the head of our opponents stem with our own. According to Wikipedia, there are a variety of games played with this plant.

This is one of last years three young Kestrels that fledged from my nest box. They would fly between three big Oak trees practising their flying skills and calling to be fed.
The good news is, the parents are back in the box !!

Today I bottled my own handmade compound gin after 4 weeks of maturation and it's very good.
Basildon Park is a country house situated 2 miles south of Streatley in Berkshire. It is owned by the National Trust and is a Grade I listed building. The house was built between 1776 and 1783 for Sir Francis Sykes and designed by John Carr in the Palladian style at a time when Palladianism was giving way to the newly fashionable neoclassicism. Thus, the interiors are in a neoclassical "Adamesque" style.
Today, Basildon Park is as notable for its mid-twentieth-century renaissance and restoration, by Lord and Lady Iliffe, as it is for its architecture. In 1978, the Iliffes gave the house, together with its park and a large endowment for its upkeep, to the National Trust in the hope that "The National Trust will protect it and its park for future generations to enjoy."

Sun grave
Falling asleep I want to go back in time
some years ago
to be a small boy
who likes to play and who is with you
It seems to me a lot of years
I was a boy who wanted to know the world
and I played with you
I´ll get back and wish to be with you
to recall memories
but I have bad news
Dry soil here only
without flowers, without water
kneeling down
I do reverence by rembrance
I say goodbay but something remained
from those days of us
and I know I´ll stay faithful
Dry soil here only
without flowers, without water
kneeling down
I do reverence by rembrance
I say goodbay but something of us remained
from those days
and I know I´ll stay faithful
I can´t sleep and I wake up
and can´t resist the thought
to come back in time some years ago
to be a small boy
who likes to play and who is with you

In my own time I’ll get a little older
The wind is in the chimes
In my own time I’ll write until I know you
In bold and underline
In my own time I’ll brighten up the corners
Temporarily
Fix up the paint and straighten all the pictures
That hang around like me

Taken Friday morning with my 'new' phone, then processed in Topaz Studio with a texture of my own. The weather went downhill shortly after this, it poured down for the rest of the the day. It doesn't seem like we'll get a proper summer this year, here in the UK. Marnie and I visit this place nearly every day if I'm short of time, as it's so close to home. She gets what she needs, familiarity and a space to roam. I get a nice view down the stream with flowers, beautiful trees and the sight and sound of trickling water.
You know I usually like to put music to my images, so here's something beautiful you may not have heard or seen before.

I was walking around Glanmore Lake. I saw this little donkey, he was standing still on his own. Peaceful & calmness evening.
Cycads are seed plants with a very long fossil history that were formerly more abundant and more diverse than they are today.They have a cylindrical trunk which usually does not branch. Leaves grow directly from the trunk, and typically fall when older, leaving a crown of leaves at the top. The leaves grow in a rosette form, with new foliage emerging from the top and center of the crown. The trunk may be buried, so the leaves appear to be emerging from the ground, so the plant appears to be a basal rosette. The leaves are generally large in proportion to the trunk size, and sometimes even larger than the trunk. The leaves are pinnate (in the form of bird feathers, pinnae), with a central leaf stalk from which parallel ribs emerge from each side of the stalk, perpendicular to it. The leaves are typically either compound (the leaf stalk has leaflets emerging from it as ribs, or have edges (margins) so deeply cut (incised) so as to appear compound. Some species have leaves that are bipinnate, which means the leaflets each have their own subleaflets, growing in the same form on the leaflet as the leaflets grow on the stalk of the leaf (self-similar geometry). 26357
Your own personal Jesus
Someone to hear your prayers
Someone who cares
Your own personal Jesus
Someone to hear your prayers
Someone who's there
Feeling unknown
And you're all alone
Flesh and bone
By the telephone
Lift up the receiver
I'll make you a believer
Take second best
Put me to the test
Things on your chest
You need to confess
I will deliver
You know I'm a forgiver
Reach out and touch faith
Reach out and touch faith
Your own personal Jesus
Someone to hear your prayers

Compton Acres Garden, Poole, Dorset
The gardens are situated at 164 Canford Cliffs, POOLE, Dorset, BH13 7ES. It is a privately owned garden, founded in 1920 by Thomas William Simpson. He was a business man whose wealth came from the production of Margarine.
From the 1920s – 1930s he began to create a series of enclosed gardens, seven in all, at the staggering cost of £220k. They were filled with sculptures and other architectural features.
The thought was, that even at an early stage of its construction that it was going to be a ‘tourist attraction’.
Unfortunately Mr Simpson died in 1944, this was followed by another death in the form of Mr. Middleton, the Head Gardener. These deaths plus the call-up of other staff lead to the gardens falling into disrepair. In 1950 the garden were sold to J. Stanley Beard a London architect who was responsible for a programme of restoration and by 1952 now complete, it was open to the public.
During that time new paths were laid, many other plantings were carried out. It changed hands again in 1964 but it still remained open. Since then the main house was sold as was part of the northern and southern boundary plus some of the woodland.
The garden now is divided between five smaller sub-gardens:
The Italian Garden: When you first see this garden from the end of the pond looking down to the Domed Temple it is spectacular. At the top end are two statues representing Wrestlers of Herculaneum. The pond itself is surrounded with brightly coloured planting and in the water are many water lilies and a fountain. To the left is the Italianate Villa with its brightly painted walls and statues on the roof and as you walk down the path other shrubs and manicured bushes. There are quite a few seats dotted around so that you can enjoy the experience.
The Wooded Valley: Here the woodland of Pine trees, where Rhododendrons and Camelias grow in some abundance. Winding footpaths and waterfalls along with other plants such as Ferns and Foxgloves make a wonderful setting.
Rock and Water Garden: There is a thought that Compton Acres has the largest rock garden in private hands in England. It consists of over 300 different plants which include alpines, conifers, spring and summer bulbs.
The Heather Garden: Here, there is a garden, again with many different species of Heather, some not easily grown in other gardens but the south coast has a much better climate enabling them to thrive. It is at its best in Spring, although it is still a very colourful space throughout the year.
The Japanese Garden: There is an odd shaped pool which is surrounded by Bamboos, Azelea and Maples. Wonderful colours, together with a collection of figures, lanterns, stone pagodas and a thatched Japanese-style summerhouse. This is covered in Wisteria in season. Many of the items were purchased in Japan, even the fish were exported under licence.
The garden covers 10 acres, it has many pieces of sculpture and architectural features scattered throughout the site. It also has a tea-room, a very important place which does nice tea and cake. What could be better after the experience of seeing the garden?
Another pic from my recent trip to Yorkshire. Hardcastle Crags is a beautiful wooded valley owned by The National Trust. I found a handy boulder to sit on at the river’s edge. A lovely spot.
The Pipevine Swallowtails have been doing great on their own this year. There have been more in the yard than in previous years. I have only raised three so far but can't actually count them until they eclose. They are in the pupal stage in protective custody.
However, if all goes well I will have six more to raise. This beauty was sitting on the porterweed when I spotted her. But then she flitted on over right beside me and deposited six beautiful orange eggs. She even let me do a little video clip with my cell phone. Then when she was finished, she flitted away. Of course, I went in to get my snips (clippers) so I could collect the eggs without damaging the plant.
Today, I shall be doing a bit of Hurricane prep. I hear we are going to have a small one move through this weekend. I was really hoping to skip the hurricanes this year 😂. Butterflies don't like hurricanes. They can handle the rain well enough but the wind is not good for them. For the most part, I expect that they know it's coming and they will either leave the area or take cover in one of the oaks. Butterflies predict the weather better than the weather people.
UPDATE: It appears that the word of mouth info I received about the hurricane was not exactly correct. We are expecting a tropical storm. Still, precautions need to be made and I am ready for what comes.
Have a wonderful Wednesday and happy snapping.
