The rain kept away for a change ..trudging over soggy moorland in search of a lone tree! Didn't find one but still good fun :-)
Spotted these lovely lambs when out on my walk. I was very conscious of the wired fence with tufts of wool that was keeping them in and keeping them safe.

Scarborough is a town on the North Sea coast of North Yorkshire, England. Historically part of the North Riding of Yorkshire.
Scarborough Castle is a former medieval Royal fortress situated on a rocky promontory overlooking the North Sea and Scarborough. The site of the castle, encompassing the Iron Age settlement, Roman signal station, an Anglo-Scandinavian settlement and chapel, the 12th-century enclosure castle and 18th-century battery, is a scheduled monument of national importance
There are two enclosures fenced with stones. The smaller one for the horses in the main roundup, and for the sheep found in the second and third roundups
"Through all the happiness and sorrow
I guess I'd do it all again
Live for today and not tomorrow
It's still the road that never ends"
(Ozzy Osbourne)
The road started in the village. We walked along it, pushing Marc in his wheelchair. Gradually the gradient steepened and our stroll became a workout.
We passed a picnic bench, overgrown with weeds. Foxgloves in full bloom, a cockerel strutting around its enclosure. The church bell clock struck in the near distance. The road, now a lane, continued to wind around bends hiding the views and destination ahead.
We stopped for a while. Silence all around. Gradually the sound of water came to our ears, birds singing to each other. Sheep in nearby fields, the deafening sound of peace and calm.
There remain so many questions and decisions we need to make about our future. Questions that are easy to ask, easy to dream about, easy to ...
I always talk too much about our story. Marc was poorly at home as you know. He was poorly here while we were away - alarmingly so at times. At home we have many conveniences nearby, but not the opportunity to do something like this walk offered, and other adventures that Marc was eager to experience.
One day, I hope we can reach a conclusion that will allow the road we journey along, to open out and become clearer ...
I know you probably can’t read the small red sign on this fence, but it says Accent Fence. Just what is this fence accenting? It looks like some kind of enclosure for trash or maybe a place to secure equipment. It doesn’t look like the gate can even be closed anymore. If you ask me (no one did, but since it is my picture I’ll comment anyway), there is nothing at all attractive that an accent fence could show off. There isn’t even a rose bush or colorful wildflowers, just weeds and vines.
Some of you may think it is just the name of the fence company that installed this fence. If so, they should remove the plaque because this fence is not doing the fence company any good by way of advertising IMO.
HFF my friends.
In a line - making for the Winners enclosure.

when my strong arms receive you,
the voices of absence, sweetly
our leisures will count two paths
without anyone, with the two of them, never and always.
And the pair of words messes
to deep unity. and so much number
is reduced to the edge of the encounter
with amazement of being poetry.
I no longer know how to walk except towards you.
The rose of paths of your absence
alert in me the scent of return
and the hidden word of his science.
I hear my name in you, I am your presence.

Not a Sunday Slide, the wacky colours are straight out of the camera. The LUT implementation in the S5ii makes it too easy to achieve garish results like this..

37401 and 37402 sit under the magnificent trainshed in York. We were lucky this evening as, due to engineering works, the RHTT had to stop and change ends to get back to Thrall, its destination after leaving at 10.00 on its circular tour of East Yorkshire cleaning the rails, the 3J51. The tractors gradually filling the enclosure with smoke. 20/10/2021
Thursday was the first day in ages that was perfect for an outdoor adventure, so we took the girls to the zoo. The animals were happy about it too and were quite active. According to the volunteer at the elephant enclosure, this was the first time these two males have spent time together. Samson was born at the zoo and turns 15 on Sunday, and Tuffy is 40. They were really enjoying each other while we were there, so hopefully they will get to do this more often. HFF!
What is the weakest link in your photography setup?
As a photography instructor, the most common weak link I notice in my students' setup is the tripod. When photographing in harsh environments, the sturdiness and vibration damping properties of tripods are essential. My go to is the Fotopro tripod. It is lightweight enough to hike long distances with and holds up really well in difficult environments. Feel free to reach out if you want more info on Fotopro tripods - I think they are some of the best in the business!
I especially like the Eagle and Global Elite Photographer Series:https://stetindenphoto.com/collections/eagle-series

During our visit to Mt Rainier last weekend, we found this snow cave carved out by the rushing flow. Going inside a snow cave can be dangerous and you should have the proper safety equipment. But it is such a surreal experience with the fluted ceiling textures, the drips of water coursing down, and the sound of the rushing stream echoing off the walls. While snow caves are cool (pun intended), ice caves take the experience to a whole different level! Imagine blue, translucent ice radiating all around you in myriad patterns and textures. If photographing an ice cave is on your bucket list, join us in Iceland Feb 2020. Due to demand, we opened up a second winter workshop with Siggi Brynjarsson and David Swindler. Learn more here:
