From the left: Round Hill, Castle Hill, and Brightwell Barrow. The name Wittenham Clumps actually refers only to the wooded tops of Round Hill and Castle Hill (the latter an Iron Age hill fort with banks and ditches), and should more correctly be called the Sinodun Hills. Over 200,000 visitors a year enjoy climbing the hills with their spectacular views of what is an otherwise remarkably flat landscape.
I heard a fox sparrow calling, but it took me quite a while to spot it. Although it's in the open here, it was between two large clumps of blackberries, so out of sight except from this one view. Fortunately, this view had a decent background!
No, that's not a nickname for our new King :-) it's the name of this group of magnificent trees at the high point of Cheesefoot Head in Hampshire..

The heather is in full bloom at present and providing a wonderful rich colour to the landscape and in particular to the mountainside landscape of Mount Leinster.
Pyracantha coccinea, firethorn, fruit. I guess these are like tiny apples in structure, as this plant is a member of the rose family. Some of this fruit is further along in time and maturity.
Thank you for looking. Isn't God a great artist?
Along the north side of the British Army’s main train area on Salisbury Plain, only a 20 feet wide unpaved perimeter road (and a fence!) separate the ranges from some stunning scenery.
There are few places that capture the emptiness of the area than the lonely clumps of beech trees that pepper the landscape, some just a hundred metres from the boundary fence.
At Charlton, where I took these shots, there are 4 clumps of between 4 and 8 trees that make a cracking backdrop for sun sets and sun rises.

We were treated to quite a hoar-frost yesterday and it was great to have chance to head out and capture this magical spectacle. Hunton Clump made an ideal subject to show off the effects of the frost.
The second inbound train of Saturday hits the CN and St. Charles diamonds at 16th Street Tower. Bro tags the "out the tower" shot from the open window on the south end of the aging structure -- I'm sure a companion pic will be forthcoming.
