The bridge is also home to several elegant archways, which provide stunning views of the River Avon and the surrounding countryside. Visitors can take a stroll across the bridge and admire its beauty, or take a boat tour along the river for a unique perspective on this iconic landmark.

Days in the garden and a view from my "hide" or garden shed as the rest of the family calls it. Here a goldfinch just up from a bath in the pond below.
The Circus, Bath.
From Wikipedia:
The Circus is a historic ring of large townhouses in the city of Bath, Somerset, England, forming a circle with three entrances. Designed by architect John Wood, the Elder, it was built between 1754 and 1768, and is regarded as a pre-eminent example of Georgian architecture. "Circus" (Latin) means a ring, oval or circle in English. The construction has been designated as a Grade I listed building.
The Circus is divided into three segments of equal length, with a lawn in the centre. Each segment faces one of the three entrances, ensuring a classical façade is always presented straight ahead.
I finally went to Bath WITH my camera. I go quite a lot, but I often can't take my camera with me, but I finally did! ♥

I loved the combination of these colours... watercolours!
"In conceptual art the idea or concept is the most important aspect of the work.
When an artist uses a conceptual form of art, it means that all of the planning and decisions are made beforehand and the execution is a perfunctory affair.
The idea becomes a machine that makes the art.”
—Sol LeWitt.
Hope you enjoy? I did making this!

THE BODY PUFFS or Bath lily... (or Body-'scrunchies' as they are also commonly known) are an ex-foliating accessory in the bathroom/shower nowadays...
Made as a 'balled up' design, the material is some sort of synthetic netting fabric.
I find that the body puffs make it a more pleasant experience when in the bath or shower as they allow you to achieve a luxurious lather...
Have a wonderful day, filled with love and beauty and thank you for all the support, M, (*_*)

The Church of St Michael's Without is Grade II*-listed and was designed in 1835 by George Phillips Manners (1789 –1866), Bath's City Architect from 1823 to 1862. It is the fourth church to have stood on this spot, just outside the former city walls, where it dominates Bath's skyline. The present building replaced a much smaller classical church of 1741-43 by John Harvey.
According to British Listed Buildings, "St Michael's is a notable example of a pre-Pugin Gothic Revival church, erected before the preoccupation with archaeological correctness took hold of ecclesiastical architects. It possesses great townscape value externally, by dint of its scale, its siting, its lofty proportions, its decorative consistency and its overall Romantic conception. The interior is of very high quality and survives in fine condition."
This Blue tit, about to take a bath.
The Eurasian blue tit (Cyanistes caeruleus)[2] is a small passerine bird in the tit family, Paridae. It is easily recognisable by its blue and yellow plumage and small size.
Eurasian blue tits, usually resident and non-migratory birds, are widespread and a common resident breeder throughout temperate and subarctic Europe and the western Palearctic in deciduous or mixed woodlands with a high proportion of oak. They usually nest in tree holes, although they easily adapt to nest boxes where necessary. Their main rival for nests and in the search for food is the larger and more common great tit.
The Eurasian blue tit prefers insects and spiders for its diet. Outside the breeding season, they also eat seeds and other vegetable-based foods. The birds are famed for their acrobatic skills, as they can hold on to the outermost branches of trees and shrubs and hang upside down when looking for food.

A flying visit to Bath.
I so want to spend longer in this lovely city, as I only had a couple of hours there as myself and my friend had to go to a place called Castle Cary, my friend asked me if I wanted to go for the run with him, and to be honest, it is a long drive from where we live to be doing it on your own (about an 8 hour round trip), so my mate Steve also said he was gonna stop off at Bath and have a look around. So glad I went.
This is the old Roman baths, in the square around Bath Abbey.
The Royal Crescent, one of Bath’s most iconic landmarks, was built between 1767 and 1775 and designed by John Wood the Younger.
This impressive landmark is arranged around a perfect lawn overlooking Royal Victoria Park and forms a sweeping crescent of 30 Grade I Listed terrace houses.
Time for the weekly bath!
We watched a group of elephants taking a bath near Talamati Bushcamp (Kruger Wildtuin). It really was fun to watch them playing in -and enjoying- the water!
I will upload some other more spectacular action shots of this group later.
Enjoy the weekend!
