I'm ready for some cooler temps and fall colors. Took this last November back behind my Mom's house...
Let me take you down, 'cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields.
Nothing is real and nothing to get hung about.
Strawberry Fields forever.
As I entered the field this morning, these two came to meet us, very curious about Evie especially.
Such a lovely warm spring day, Evie & I walked through the sheep fields & down to the ponds & river and then back home. Evie had a cooling dip in the river, but on the way she had a 'moment' with another lamb, see video below.

Its hard to convey the scale of these lava fields -the larger clumps in the foreground are easily bigger than a person. The red mountain mid ground is made of iron-laced lava, which rusts when exposed to the atmosphere. See my other Iceland images at flic.kr/s/aHsjGvArkL
From Wikipedia:
The Battle of the Little Bighorn, known to the Lakota and other Plains Indians as the Battle of the Greasy Grass and also commonly referred to as Custer's Last Stand, was an armed engagement between combined forces of the Lakota, Northern Cheyenne, and Arapaho tribes and the 7th Cavalry Regiment of the United States Army. The battle, which resulted in the defeat of US forces, was the most significant action of the Great Sioux War of 1876. It took place on June 25–26, 1876, along the Little Bighorn River in the Crow Indian Reservation in southeastern Montana Territory.
The fight was an overwhelming victory for the Lakota, Northern Cheyenne, and Arapaho, who were led by several major war leaders, including Crazy Horse and Chief Gall, and had been inspired by the visions of Sitting Bull (Tȟatȟáŋka Íyotake). The US 7th Cavalry, a force of 700 men, suffered a major defeat while under the command of Lieutenant Colonel George Armstrong Custer (formerly a brevetted major general during the American Civil War). Five of the 7th Cavalry's twelve companies were annihilated and Custer was killed, as were two of his brothers, a nephew and a brother-in-law. The total US casualty count included 268 dead and 55 severely wounded (six died later from their wounds), including four Crow Indian scouts and at least two Arikara Indian scouts.
Our first view of the hallowed turf. This was the second time I had been to a game - I managed to go on a previous visit back in 2001 at the start of the season. It was a cold night that time when we watched the Angels. Not so this time - it was so hot we didn't quite know what to do with ourselves!
We had more than an hour to go before rivalries commenced - plenty of time to walk all round the stadium
Monica Bellucci is the best cricket hunter :-)))

On July 1st, 1916, the opening day of the Battle of the Somme, the Newfoundland Regiment fought its first engagement in France, its costliest of the whole war, at Beaumont Hamel, a little village 9 km north of the town of Albert, France. A total of 798 all ranks deployed into the trenches and 22 officers and about 758 other ranks were sent forward against the enemy. Of these, all the officers and slightly under 658 other ranks became casualties. Only around 110 remained unscathed. The first line of trenches you see are the communication trenches. Where the group of people are standing is where the front line was. They walked in the direction that the shadow of the Caribou is pointing and were mown down by machine gun fire in their hundreds. The small group of trees in the top right contained what is now called the "Danger Tree", which was about half-way to their objective and used as a landmark for the Canadian troops to gather and where many of them fell. In behind the tree line at the top of the frame is where the German front line was. The pockmarked landscape still shows the damage of artillery fire.
So it's the six week holidays, again. Nothing to do but enjoy the weather and keep the kids entertained. Wish Mrs B was off with us.

I just stopped to pour myself a coffee when this guy came bounding towards me. I managed to get my camera up to my eye and take a few shots before he sped past.
Brenzett is a village[1] and civil parish in the Shepway District of Kent, England. The village lies on the Romney Marsh, three miles (4.8 km) west of New Romney.
It is the home to the Brenzett Aeronautical Museum Trust that as well as exhibiting the remains of various World War II combat aircraft that have been excavated from the surrounding marshland also includes a de Havilland Vampire T.11 and an English Electric Canberra B.2 on display in the museum grounds.
Brenzett was also the site of a Royal Air Force Advanced Landing Ground (ALG) airfield during the Second World War, RAF Brenzett, at one time operating North American Mustang IIIs.
Whilst Brenzett is a busy transport hub, it has surrendered its public house (Fleur de Lis), Little Chef restaurant and Post Office but retains a petrol station and school. The parish church is dedicated to St Eanswythe and is located on the road to Brenzett Green, a remnant of the original A2070 to Hamstreet and Ashford which was rebuilt entirely in the 1990s.
