Climbing past Greenholme is ‘Spam Can' Bulleid designed ‘Battle of Britain’ 4-6-2 no.34067 ‘Tangmere’ with the WCRC Carnforth to Carlisle ‘Lune Rivers Trust’ tour.

I wanted to make something with a harmonius feeling.

I have had so much around me lately and no time to create. Its sad.

Another amazing location between Shapwick and Sturminster Marshall. It’s quiet with no crowds but the through traffic over the bridge can get busy.

White Mill belongs to the National Trust but always check the opening times.

This is reputedly the oldest bridge in the whole of Dorset, dating from the twelfth century. Walk along the banks of the river Stour and enjoy the birdlife. I sat and watched a pair of Reed Warblers in the reeds next to the bridge and hundreds of swans congregated in the field. Also in the roadside hedge were Cetti’s warblers.

I waded into the middle of the river to photograph the circular reflections of the arches and that impressive dark moody sky.

Spring is approaching. The forest’s changing its colour slowly. A squirrel made an appearance. He's moving fast, climbing trees with ease. But he's never afraid to climb them because he trusts his abilities. But he sometimes slows down and stops on a branch and just looks around the nature. He likes to be on top of trees, top of branches and staying there, over the forest.

Girl I see through, through your love

Who do you love, me or the thought of me?

Me or the thought of me?

Hold on to whatever you find, baby

Hold on to whatever will get you through

Hold on to whatever you find, baby

I don't trust myself with lovin' you.

We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.

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

But your innocence is mine

Excerpt from www.chinadaily.com.cn/travel/2014-03/23/content_17371447_...:

"If you see a pawn shop, it meant that the village was wealthy enough to support a bank, Chun Yuen Ngat opened for business in 1899 and is the oldest pawn shop in Yuen Long, though it has been closed for years now."

"Banks were originally only used by the British in Hong Kong, Chinese people didn't trust them at first. Many pawn shops were built to be three or four stories high, to stack the blankets that people left as collateral."

An iron sign suspended from a horizontal post on the top right of the main door. "It's an inverted bat. In Cantonese, bat sounds like the word fook, or fortune. That show anyone can tell that this is a pawn shop, even if you can't read the characters."

“Trees’re always a relief, after people.” -David Mitchell

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!

A cattle egret picking flies off a horse's face in an Olhao smallholding. Not sure I'd be as relaxed as the horse with a sharp bill so close to my eyes.

This was the full name given to the Chough on the mountain notice board.

It's a quote of Mark Twain and i start thinking who do or did i trust the most...... yes my dogs.

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.
