HBM.. Have a lovely week ahead.. Thanks for any comments left..
A short trip up to Haldon Forest last Saturday was worth the trip as I was gifted with this lovely sunrise over East Devon. A little mist formed on the hillside below me to add a little atmosphere to the scene so all in all not a bad trip.

Here's a shot from better times last summer, Shot high above the Devon Countryside at Sunset as we spent a blissful week staying on a farm there.
Our first visit to Haytor back in March where we enjoyed some views all around, this was not really the walk I was expecting as the car park is adjacent to this stunning landmark. It is however quite a hike up the steep hill to get there!
The granite rocks of Haytor are extremely popular with rock climbers with the rock in the image I shared back in March being the popular rock to ascend.
I particularly liked the reflected sunburst in one of the puddles to the left of image when viewed large!
Sea pink at Hartland Quay, Devon, England, before sunset, longish exposure taken using ND filter, it was quite windy, most of the photos came out too blurry.
Dartmoor, which occupies much of West Devon, has varied landscapes, ranging from the bleak high moor to beautiful meadows with tree-lined streams and rivers. These tend to flow towards the south, where you will find numerous small farmsteads and other small settlements. Here the countryside really is "a green and pleasant land". This shot was taken virtually in the centre of Dartmoor, a mile or two to the east of Dartmeet, where the East and West Dart rivers join together before flowing south to the sea at Dartmouth.
Sidmouth in East Devon is a firm favourite, and we call in there whenever we are within striking distance. There are many beautiful Georgian and Regency buildings along the seafront, which nestles between two large red sandstone cliffs. The one in the centre of the picture is Salcombe Hill Cliff, while beyond it is Salcombe Mouth. There have been some serious cliff-falls in recent times. This is all part of the Jurassic Coast which runs some 95 miles from the Old Harry Rocks near Swanage in the east to Exmouth in the west.
It always puzzled me that the sandy part of the beach is red - as might be expected - but much of the beach is covered in flints. Then I discovered there is a thin band of chalk sitting on top of the red sandstone, but this cannot be seen from the ground. Over the years the flints have washed out from the chalk to cover the sandy beach underneath.
Prior to the early 1800s when the seafront was built, Sidmouth had a small ship-building industry and was an important fishing town. As well as having fishing boats for local waters, Sidmouth sent larger boats as far away as Newfoundland, and traded the catch with Catholic Spain and Portugal, returning home with wine.
Delightful dwellings in Devon, it’s the quintessential thatched cottages that continue to have us smitten. Tucked away down quiet, primrose lanes, nestled into hillsides, and perched on riverbanks, these chocolate box cottages help capture the wistful image of the English countryside idyll.

I took this shot last October, just before the national lockdown began. Dartmoor in west Devon is basically a 240 square mile granite dome that dates from the Carboniferous Period of geological history. Around the fringes of the bleak high moorland the countryside gives way to heavily wooded river valleys and rich grassland. This was photographed on the north-east side of the Dartmoor National Park, near Chagford (which nestles behind the hill) and Moretonhampstead. It is where the farmland ends and the high moor, where sheep, ponies and cattle roam freely, begins.

Thanks for all the Christmas & new year wishes..
INFO 'The Domesday Book records Ringmore as a Devon Manor known then as ‘Ronmore’. Stephen de Haccombe, and his successors are know to have built three chapels in the area, two survive as chapels today, one at Haccombe, and the other is St Nicholas in Ringmore, Shaldon.
The third local chapel is only a ruin. Church Architects are of the opinion the St Nicholas is of 13th Century origins, a fact borne out by the East end Wall with it’s Lancet window-a fact accepted as proof.
Records of various events refer to this church, and the Register of Baptisms was started in 1616, prior to that, Baptisms had taken place at Haccombe. About this time, the Carew family –now Lords of the Manor of Haccombe, carried out repairs to St Nicholas, but the fabric of the building, and it’s architectural features were kept intact. Haccombe Church supplied the Clergy to the Church until 1621 when the first Clergy signed the Baptism register - Elezeus Coke.
Burial and Marriage registers were than started –and in 1671 Lord Clifford bought several local estates including the Manor of Ringmore with St Nicholas Parish. Bishop Keppel visited the church in 1768 and decided that care was needed to restore the Church.
By 1790 a large extension had been added, and a gallery built, along with various other improvements. Mention of a Church organ was made in 1827, but was then replaced with an early version of the Harmonium called a ‘Seraphine’. 1839 saw a gallery added to the North wall for the Sunday School, and a new roof with a domed skylight and wooden Bell tower added in1841. The original font had been removed, and replaced by the existing font-which is Saxon or early Norman.
Reverend Richard Marsh-Dunn cancelled plans for any more changes to St Nicholas, as he had decided to build a new church on the reclaimed land on Riverside in Shaldon.
This was consecrated and dedicated to St.Peter, and became the new Parish Church of St.Nicholas, South Devon in 1903. St Nicholas was subsequently renovated with funds generated by a generous benefactor, and was given the official title of Chapel of Ease.'
I managed to get down to Jacob's eye level yesterday.... and I managed to get back on my feet! Paignton, Devon
Judy and I were very taken with this friendly little robin who seemed to be following us along the cliff-top path at Beer in Devon. Every time we moved along he fluttered after us and came within a couple of feet, kindly posing for my camera. We went back the next day with some food to see if we could tempt him to feed out of our hands, but he was nowhere to be seen.
Looking up at the lush coastline of East Devon in the South West of England. Taken on Weston beach with a 50mm lens.
Although there was once a Norman castle in Lydford, on the western fringe of Dartmoor in West Devon, and this ancient building is known as Lydford Castle it is in fact not a castle at all but an ancient prison dating from the late 12th century. The scant remains of the "real" castle are nearby. The earthworks suggest that it may have been a small wooden castle, as so many early Norman castles were.
The prison was in use, on and off, for many hundreds of years, including as an administration centre, but ceased to be used after the construction of Dartmoor Prison in the early 1800s. By the middle of the 19th century it was left in ruins. It is currently owned by English Heritage. There is a fascinating detailed historical note at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lydford_Castle.
