Wishing all my friends, followers and occasional visitors a really wonderful Christmas-time however you spend it.
For us, it is celebrating the birth of God's Son, Jesus, into the world as a tiny, dependent infant, who would grow up to become the man who would give his life for the sake of others such as you and me.
As well as remembering Jesus' birth we will also celebrate the holiday period with family & friends, exchanging gifts amidst Christmas goodies. We hope that you can do the same.
This is our tiny, dependent infant - Teazel. She is a working Cocker Spaniel now 13 weeks old and a bundle of energy, fun and mischief. She's currently lying on my feet but will have one of my shoes into her den given a millisecond's lack of watchfulness from me! She is also part of the explanation of my lack of presence here of late!
Happy Christmas & hopefully see you in 2020!
Dipsacus is a genus of flowering plant in the family Caprifoliaceae. The members of this genus are known as teasel, teazel or teazle.
Teasel is what I normally see it called and although interesting looking and colorful when in bloom, it's considered an invasive plant in the United States. (DSC_8374.jpg)

Dipsacus was formerly widely used in textile processing, providing a natural comb for cleaning, aligning and raising the nap on fabrics, particularly wool.

The Flitting
I miss the heath, its yellow furze,
Molehills and rabbit tracks that lead
Through beesom, ling, and teazel burrs
That spread a wilderness indeed;
This is a blend of five different shots of the same scene - teazels on a slope leaning towards the setting sun - all handheld at various exposures, all bar one are ICM.
I have just sat and revisited the photos I came away with on Saturday morning, after initially being disappointed in everything I got. I found this one, and with some light PP work and a different crop I am quite content with the end result. I quite often revisit images I've disregarded at first glance, and with a fresh head on I tend to find something worth keeping.
Update - This image has made it onto the cover of the Cotswold Life magazine, January 2015 issue.

The silver-spotted skipper, is a
the silver-spotted skipper, is a butterfly of the family Hesperiidae. It is claimed to be the most recognized skipper in North America.
Photographed this teazle earlier today, one of dozens, growing alongside the Oyster Beds on Hayling Island. At this time of year they are not that colourful but what an amazing plant. The wonderful symmetry with each individual cell or cup being perfectly formed to capture rain water. Sharp spines on both the plant head and the stem provide protection from interference.
In Victorian times teazles were used in the textile industry. When dried they provided a natural comb to clean, align and raise the nap on fabrics.
I was having a play in the garden to see how a Tamron 18-250 zoom which I had kept from my Canon EOS400 days (pre 2015/6) performed when attached to a Kooka extension tube and hence to an adaptor to fit the pre-loved M50 that is now my main camera (I'll test you all later 😄).
Of course the dog wanted to join in & so she plonked herself down close-by. At least she didn't lie down on the flowers or I would have been in big trouble with the boss!
Today I decided to walk on the Pevensey Levels and I did it in reverse to my normal route. I assumed that as the water levels are controlled that the flooding wouldn't be too bad. How wrong was I the ditches gullies sewers and water courses were all low as the layers of ice well above the water level proved. However the flooding in the fields was really bad and so lots of nerve wracking wading through icy water with only millimetres to spare and so fortunately no water in my wellies. Anyway there was also lots to see some of which I was too slow to get images of such as the first fox and a Kingfisher. But loads of very varied images on a cold but glorious walk.
visited a couple of national trust properties in the stratford area this week, amused by the teazels placed on chairs to prevent accidental sitting down on antique furniture....
This is the fruiting head of a teasel, also spelled teazle or teazel. Although this plant was growing in Michigan, the Wikipedia says that teasels are natives of the Old World. They were brought here as seed, mixed with crop seed, and the dried fruiting head used to be useful in processing textiles.
The head was about 2 inches/8 cm long. If nothing bad has happened to it, This Dipsacus fruiting head has turned dry and brown by now.
Record shot, terrible murky light first thing @ Snettisham this morning. Had to pp on the pc to get any image at all
No, not a pub, but a view from Longhoughton Steel with Teazel sniffing around on the left and a distant Dunstanburgh Castle on the horizon. I was taken with the range of rocks & boulders scattered over the beach - some small, some big, some angular & some smooth like the famous 'black boulders' found at & around Dunstanburgh. Most are coarse sandstone: Longhoughton Grit, which is analagous to the Millstone Grit found in the Peak & Yorkshire. Have a look here www.geolsoc.org.uk/GeositesCraster for an expert's description.
It was a great relief to get a dry and sunny walk, though the wind was from the north & not exactly warm 💧😄
Autumn transitions to winter.
