This stone tool was made at Butser Ancient Farm on a Lithics Course. It is not an ancient stone tool but made by a skilled craftsman.The chips on the flint make the sharp edge, which make it a very efficient tool.
One of my two Lhasa Apso dogs, taking part in his favourite pastime....
The Lhasa Apso has a long history in his country of origin, Tibet. They have existed at least since the year 800 A.D., and for centuries they lived in isolation with Tibetan Buddhists in the Himalayan Mountains.
Their Tibetan Name Means “Bark Lion Sentinel Dog”.
Garrulus glandarius
I believe this is "Keith". Named after Keith flint as he has a quiff of feathers on his head. Keith is the tamer Jay that tends to hang around reception and is popular with many visitors and staff :-)
Still collecting the acorns at Strumpshaw fen this morning. Not the best light under the trees but good enough as i was leaving at 10.00am :-)

Here is a vertorama of the Flint River as it bisects Richfield County Park, November 13, 2022. Richfield is Genesee County's first park, founded in 1935 and received WPA development efforts shortly thereafter. I took this from what was called the "highway bridge" built back then. It is a two-lane bridge with nice step-up sidewalks....for photos like this! Thank-you, WPA!

Dashing about Bookham this morning doing a few urgent chores I had to cross the road near the Squareabout at the crossroads - and waiting for a gap in the traffic I could not fail to notice the flint wall of the church is now covered in some lovely blue flowers . Well , the chores had to wait for a few moments while I grabbed the P&S from my backpack and grab a couple of shots for all to see .
Note :- Some of you may well remember my recent shot of the big American yellow bus in the pub car park which is behind me as I take this shot , well the pub has changed hands a couple of weeks back and the big yellow bus is no longer there anymore !!
A wide view of downtown Flint, Michigan, USA, looking west along the Flint River on a beautiful May morning, 2021.
This rather random build of brick, flint and chalk is apart of an old fisherman's store on Thornham salt marsh, Norfolk
Yesterday, we introduced Flint to the Chuckit ball! It’s way too large to fit in his mouth, but he really enjoyed chasing it and looked totally cute running after it. He’s such a delight!
Lake State Y119 with one of their new-to-them Tier 4 SD70's handling 63 cars solo is rolling over the bridge in Bridgeport over the Cass River. They left Saginaw after 310 showed up and dropped their cars next to the staged 119 which the 119 crew then double onto cars they already had and took it all south. Once they arrive in Flint they'll yard their train and tie up for the day. This day never saw any sun, but this angle wouldn't work if there was sun given the way current operations typically run. The amount of growth around the bridge makes it tricky to shoot at all these days. Bridgeport, MI 4/25/2026
Taken at Glenwood Cemetery, dedicated in 1857. The founder of the city, pioneering automotive and business leaders are buried here. It's the oldest cemetery, with large and elaborate grave markers.
Soon the prescribed burns will be happening in the hills and things will begin to turn green. It's an evey year ritual with the ranchers. Burning keeps the woody vegetation such cedar trees, roughleaf dogwood, sumac and others. The green grass provides lots of nutrients in the spring for the cattle. Cattle will gain about 40% of their weight then.
The Cliffs of Sangstrup and Karlby are up to 17 meters tall and stretches 5 km along the coast of Djursland. The limestone originates from a 65-million-year-old coral reef in a prehistoric and tropical sea.
A small cairn made with 5 flints picked up from the field on my morning walk with the dog and 5 holly berries - indicative of a hard winter to come.
En la mía última fotográfica nocturna gesta por los agrestes y rústicos campos de La Mancha, en compañía de mis buenos maeses Antonio e Isidro, fuimos a dar nada menos que con "el increíble árbol del rulo".
El cielo lucía encapotado, ofreciendo, mayormente, un aspecto insulso; mas hete aquí que hubo un momento en que despejose un tanto, permitiéndonos ver las estrellas y ofreciendo, todo él, un aspecto con ricas y curiosas gradaciones y matices, tal y como ese misterioso resplandor verdoso, asemejando una portentosa aurora boreal en mitad de los campos manchegos, era; o quizás tratárase de fuegos fatuos procedentes de algún presumido y coqueto espíritu que, en el suyo atormentado vagar por el terrenal mundo, y en un arrebato de coquetería sin parangón en el mundo del más allá, pretendiese captar nuestra atención y ansiara un retrato...👻 En todo caso, sea lo que fuere, ahí quedó plasmado para la posteridad 😉
-English:
On my last night photographic outing through the wild and rustic countryside of La Mancha in the company of my two friends and fellow photographers Antonio and Isidro, we found "The Incredible Stone Roller Tree".
The sky was mainly overcast, offering a dull look, but there was a moment when it cleared a little, letting us see some stars, offering then a look with some rich and intriguing gradations and shades, like that mysterious green glow resembling a kind of amazing northern lights in the middle of the fields of La Mancha, or perhaps it may be the will-o'-the-wisp of a presumptuous and flirtatious ghost that, in his tormented wanderings through the earthly world and iin an outburnst of narcissism without parallel in the far beyond, tried to capture our attention yearning for a portrait ... 👻 In any case, whatever it was, here it is photographed for posterity 😉

Flint Castle was the first of a series of castles built during King Edward I's campaign to conquer Wales. The site was chosen for its strategic position in north east Wales. The castle was only one day's march from Chester, supplies could be brought along the River Dee and there was a ford across to England that could be used at low tide.
When work ceased in 1286, Flint Castle had an inner ward and an outer bailey. They were separated by a tidal moat and were connected with gatehouse and drawbridge. During the English Civil War, Flint Castle was held by the Royalists. It was finally captured by the Parliamentarians in 1647 after a three-month siege. To prevent its reuse in the conflict, the castle was then slighted in accordance with Cromwell's destruction order. The ruins are what remain today.
