#1 in Explorer for September 1 (for a while anyway)! Thanks for all the kind comments and favs!
We paid a winter visit to Cotehele in the far east of Cornwall almost a year ago and were blessed with some excellent weather.
This Grade II*-listed Chapel of St George & St Thomas A'Becket, dating from around 1490, was built by Sir Richard Edgcumbe in memory of his escape on this spot from Sir Henry Trenowth of Bodrugan in 1483. The chapel is situated overlooking the River Tamar a couple of hundred yards below Cotehele House, which was the Edgcumbe family's home. This is part of the National Trust's Cotehele Estate.
Sir Richard Edgcumbe was a Lancastrian and had his lands confiscated in 1471 by the Yorkist Edward IV, although these were returned to him the next year. Angered by Richard of Gloucester’s usurpation of the throne in 1483 and the rumours of the murder of Edward V and his brother in the Tower of London, Edgcumbe joined the rebellion led by Henry Stafford, 2nd Duke of Buckingham to dethrone the Yorkist Richard III and replace him with the Lancastrian Henry Tudor.
When the rebellion collapsed and Henry’s ships fled, Edgcumbe’s arrest was ordered and a troop of soldiers commanded by the notoriously brutal Sir Henry Trenowth of Bodrugan were sent to arrest him. He hid himself on the wooded hillside of his Tamarside home, Cotehele, and when his hiding-place was discovered, threw his pursuers off the scent by filling his cap with stones and throwing it into the river, fooling his pursuers into thinking he had drowned and thus escaping certain death.
After his escape he fled to Brittany and joined Henry Tudor with whom he returned to England in 1485. He was knighted later that year after the Battle of Bosworth, where Henry Tudor (who became King Henry VII) and the Lancastrians were victorious.

The irresponsible stupidity of some people never ceases to amaze me.
There are frequent cliff falls here at Birling Gap, and yet people still go to the very edge and look over. I couldn't believe it when I saw this family with 2 young children walk to the edge, although they did take hold of their hands before they got there. Plus it was blowing a gale and a small child could easily get blown over.
I take photos in 4x6 format so that I can share my day with my son Martin who's locked up. The county jail only allows that size prints but I can send 4 photos at a time. God sent me two sons, a gift and blessing in this world, forever in the next.
God Made Dads
God took the strength of a mountain
The majesty of a tree
The warmth of a summer sun
The calm of a quiet sea
The generous soul of nature
The comforting arm of night
The wisdom of the ages
The power of the eagle’s flight
The joy of a morning in spring
The faith of a mustard seed
The patience of eternity
The depth of a family need
Then God combined these qualities
When there was nothing more to add
He knew His masterpiece was complete
And so
He called it … Dad!!
I know you've suffered
But I don't want you to hide
It's cold and loveless
I won't let you be denied
Soothing
I'll make you feel pure
And trust me
You can be sure
I want to reconcile the violence in your heart
I want to recognize your beauty is not just a mask
I want to exorcise the demons from your past
I want to satisfy the undisclosed desires in your heart
You trick your lovers
That you're wicked and divine
You may be a sinner

This quote resonates with me because I’m always more comfortable around nature than other people. While both are unpredictable, nature has no nefarious intentions, only pureness.
I have a notebook with me pretty much all of the time. Pocket sized ones like these are perfect for when I’m on the go and I love nature themes. These were done in collaboration with AllTrails, a site we find very useful!

When you've been around horses almost all of your life, you know which one you can do anything with, and not others. I know with my guts that with this mare, I can do anything, even just ride on her back backwards while she's out in her paddock, she's my Trustfall.

You know what I'm sipping, I'll teach you how to mix it
But you're the only one cause I don't trust these bitches
I don't trust these bitches, they might catch me slipping
So, you're the only one cause I don't trust these bitches
They might catch me slipping and put in something different
So you're the only one cause I don't trust these bitches
I don't trust these bitches, they might catch me slipping
So you're the only one

Trust to a point,
but they'd just as soon not look at each other.
I could understand the RS not looking at the butt ugly TV,
but can't understand why the TV wouldn't look at the handsome SR. Jealousy??
Note:
This is a 2 capture composite image,
with one capture was focused on the TV,
and the other focused on the RS.
I could have gotten both in good focus at ƒ/22,
but favored a larger aperture (ƒ/4.5) to get better subject isolation from the background.
