A piece from one of my favorite artists at the festival... he specializes in figures of dragons and other beasts hatching from their eggs.
The Kentuck Festival is an annual art festival that draws people from all over the country. A wide variety of styles and creations are on display, and these are some of my favorites.

It's that time of year again--flamingos are hatching at the San Diego Zoo!
When born, flamingo chicks have gray down feathers and are the size of a tennis ball with legs. After hatching, the chicks stay close to a parent, sitting with the mother or father for the first 5 to 12 days on a nest mound created for the chick.
The San Diego Zoo and San Diego Zoo Safari Park are among only a handful of zoos in the world to raise offspring from three of the five flamingo species; Caribbean flamingos, a greater flamingo subspecies, Chilean flamingos and lesser flamingos. Together, the Zoo and Park have successfully hatched over 450 chicks. www.sandiegozoo.org
This is not a Hatchimal, nor a hatching Easter egg, but rather, one of the colorful Easter eggs I accidentally dropped.
OOPS
L'église Profanée...
Mai 2017...
Édifiée en 1875-1883 par l'architecte lyonnais Clair Tisseur, son architecture est une imitation du style roman poitevin.
L'église se distingue par son inaccessibilité : sans parvis, la porte débouche sur la rue à plus de 3 mètres du sol. L'escalier prévu ne fut jamais construit, car il aurait fallu démolir la caserne située de l'autre côté de la rue, ce que l'anticléricalisme de la IIIe République ne pouvait tolérer.
Lors de la construction de l’église, des tuiles romaines posées à plat recouvrant un amas d’ossements animaux ont été découvertes. On ne connaît pas la fonction de cet ensemble.
L'église n'est plus affectée au culte catholique. Elle a été utilisée comme salle d'exposition par l'École des Beaux-Arts qui était installée à côté jusqu'en 2007. L'église est depuis fermée et laissée à l'abandon ...
Well they started hatching last thing yesterday and throughout today. It was great to experience again and feel very lucky to have them at the edge of the garden.
The silk moth can't fly because its body is too heavy. So it flutters around till it finds another moth of the opposite sex. They then mate: the male dies almost immediately and the female lays sticky, pale yellow eggs - up to 500 tiny eggs in neat rows. She usually dies about five days later. The eggs hatch in spring but can be kept in the fridge to delay hatching so you can have eggs all summer - for as long as there are mulberry leaves!
The eggs from the duck by our office stated to hatch. Mom got a little distressed when I got close so I snapped the photo and moved on. One baby can be seen below her neck.

This was my second visit to Sutton; I was last here in 2015 during the heritage weekend, but looking at my shots, I see I failed to post any of them from that visit, no idea what happened.
Anyway, I arrived back at Sutton during a Biblical downpour, I had no idea if it would be open, but parking on the steep lane outside meant it was only a quick dash up the steps and into the porch.
Neat whitewashed interior, with plenting of hatchings, whiched the warden knew nothing, tought one was Cornish, which I doubted.

As you approach from the south this church hits you like a cliff face - even more so as its east end, next to the road, is apsidal and something quite out of the ordinary. Norman in origin it was reassembled by Ashpitel (see also Ripple) in the mid nineteenth century, but he kept to the original form of the building as can be seen in old pictures of the church before he got his hands on it. It is a pity that one cannot appreciate the structure from any distance as it is an endearing and loveable thing. Inside the height of the walls wants to make you shout `Saxon` but regrettably their thickness suggests more of a twelfth century date. There is much Norman decoration on the dressed stonework and little heads abound (inside and out) if you open your eyes. Some even have inset eyeballs. The shiny pulpit is Jacobean and a very good example of its time. How it escaped the nineteenth century when everything else in the church was replaced, we can only guess. On the floor is a very early bell - possibly dating from the 13th century (see also Coldred). The stained glass is a motley assortment - some very good indeed, especially the three apse windows. The Ascension in the north wall, by Jones and Willis - and their south nave window of similar vintage - are less attractive but nonetheless part of the rich heritage of this village church.

SUTTON, NEAR DOVER,
WRITTEN likewise in antient records, Sutton near Ripple, and near Walmer, and sometimes, East Sutton; to distinguish it from other parishes of this name in other parts of this county, lies the next parish to East Langdon, north-westward. The manors of Norborne and Ripple claim paramount over disserent parts of this parish. These manors seem to be divided by the cross road at the bottom of the street; lands on the north side paying to Norborne, on the south side to Ripple.
There are two boroughts in it; one borsholder being chosen for East Sutton borough, at Ripple manor court; the other, at the court of the MANOR OF Norborne, for the remaining part of the parish.
THIS PARISH, which is but small, lies on high ground, among the open and uninclosed hills, and contains upwards of nine hundred acres of land, the soil is very thin, and rather stony, being a clay upon a chalk, but with a diversity of soil, in a smaller proportion, like the other neighbouring parishes. The village, which contains about 24 houses, having the church close to it, is situated nearly in the middle of the parish. There is no fair, nor any thing further worth mention in it.
THE MANOR OF EAST SUTTON, alias SUTTONCOURT, in king Henry III.'s reign, was held by Hugh Soldanks, by knight's service, whose descendant Stephen Soldank held it in king Edward I.'s reign; (fn. 1) soon after which, it came into the possession of John Wyborne, and thence again to the abbot and convent of St. Augustine, where it continued till the final diffolution of the monastery, in the 30th year of Henry VIII. when it waws surrendered, with all its lands and revednues, into the king's hands; whence it was granted not long afterwards to Mr. John Master, to hold in capite. From which name it passed into that of Wiseman, whose window, Elizabeth Wiseman, died possessed of it in the 4th and 5th years of Philip and Mary, leaving two daughters her coheirs, viz. Jane, married to Alured Barwicke, and Bridget, to George Throgmorton. Upon the partition of whose inheritance, this manor became the sole property of the former, who conveyed his interst in it by deed and fine to John Fynch, and in this name it reamined for some time, till at length it was alienated to Den, who are entered in the early part of the register of this parish as gentlemen; one of whom built a large mansions of stone, in this parish, the foundations of which are still to be seen on a pasture, on the east side of Sutton street, in which they resided; as did the Foches afterwards. They were succeeded in this manor by the family of Hussey, in which it continued, till Grace Hussey the elder, and Grace Hussey the younger, sometime about the beginning of queen Anne's reign, joined in the sale of it, by the name of the manor of Sutton-court, to Sir Robert Furnesre, bart. of Waldershare, who died possessed of this estate in 1733; on the partition of whose estates sometime afterwards, (fn. 2) this manor was wholly allotted, among others, o Anne the eldest daughter and coheir, wife of John, viscount St. John. Their son Frederick, viscount St. John, succeeded to this estate on his father's death, and on the death of his uncle Henry, viscount Bolingbroke, in 1751, to that title likewise; on his death it came to his son George, viscount Bolingbroke, who in 1791 sold it to Mr. Thomas Garside, of Deal, the present owner of it. The court for this manor has been disused for many years.
SUTTON FARM, alias WINKLETON, in antient records written Winkeland, lies in that part of this parish, adjoining to East Langdon, in which parish part of the demesnes of it lie. This estate, which seems in early times to have been accounted a manor, was held of the abbot of St. Augustine, as of his manor of Norborne, in king Edward I.'s time, by Henry de Cobham; from which name it passed into that of Stroude, where it remained till about the middle of Edward the IIId.'s reign, soon after which it appears to have come into the possession of the family of Criol; for Sir Nicholas Criol; or Keriel, as the name began then to be spelt, died possessed of it in the 3d year of king Richard II. and from him it devolved at length by succession to Sir Thomas Keriel, who was slain in the second battle of St. Alban's, in the 38th year of king Henry VI. He left two daughters his coheirs, of whom Alice the youngest, marrying John Fogge, esq. of Repton, afterwards knighted; on the division of their inheritance, Winkeland was allotted to him. Their son, Sir Thomas Fogge, sergeant-porter of Calais, sold his interest in it to Whitlock; and he not long afterwards alienated it to Richard Maycott, who died in the 31st year of king Henry VIII. holding it in capite by knight's service; one of his descendants passed it away by sale to Stokes, whose descendant, John Stokes, about the beginning of king Charles I.'s reign, alienated it to Edward Merriweather, gent. of Shebbertswell, in whose descendants it continued, till at length it passed, partly by marriage, in like manner as Shebberstwell abovedescribed, to the Churchills, of Henbury, in Dorsetshire; in which family it continued, till William and Henry, the two sons and coheirs in gavelkind of Awnsham Churchill, esq. conveyed it by sale in 1785, by the name of Sutton-farms, alias Winkleton, to Mr. William Baldock, of Canterbury, and he the year after passed it away to Mr. Joseph Marsh, the occupier of it, who is the present owner.
THERE WAS a portion of tithes arising from this estate, which belonged likewise to the above abbey; and in king Edward II.'s reign, the archbishop's commissary confirmed to them, among their other possessions of the like fort, this their part of the tithes of sheaves arising from the lands of this manor, within the bounds of this parish; (fn. 3) and archbishop Arundel confirmed the same again in king Richard II.'s reign, anno 1397, wherein these tithes are said to lie within the parish of East Langdon.
THIS FAMILY of Foche, alias Foach, was as early as queen Elizabeth's reign possessed of an estate in this parish, now called THE UPPER FARM, the lands of which lie adjoining to those of Sutton-court; and in that name it continued, till it was at length alienated to William Verrier, gent. of Sandwich, who died in 1710, leaving five sons; to the three youngest of whom, he by will devised his mansion, houses, and lands, in this parish. Part of these lands, by Susan, daughter of Benjamin Verrier, the youngest but one of them, went in marriage to Mr. Thomas Alkin, gent. of Canterbury, whose daughter, Mrs. Margaret Alkin, of Canterbury, a few years since passed away her interest in them by sale to Mr. William Marsh, of Walmer, the present owner of them.
Charities.
MR. THOMAS FOACH, gent. of this parish, gave by his will a yearly annuity of 40s. charged on Upper farm, to the church and poor of it, to be distributed yearly in bread.
MR. CUSHIRE gave two acres and a half of marsh land in Sholdon, now of the annual produce of 3s. 4d. to be distributed yearly in coals to the poor.
The poor constantly relieved are about eleven, casually eight.
THIS PARISH is with in the ECCLESIASTICAL JURISDICTION of the diocese of Canterbury, and deanry of Sandwich.
The church, which is dedicated to St. Peter and St. Paul, is but small, part of it having fallen down by an earthquake, on April 6, 1680. The present church consists of a nave and chancel, without any steeple. There is one small bell. The east end is circular. There are no memorials in it, nor marks of antiquity, excepting a circular arch over the north door, handsomely ornamented with a fretty sculpture; and a plain circular arch over the south door, both of much greater antiquity than the present church, and probably belonged to an older building.
The patronage of this church was part of the antient possessions of the crown, and remained so till it was given to the college or hospital at Maidstone, founded by archbishop Boniface, in king Henry III.'s reign; after which, archbishop Walter Reynolds, about the year 1314, appropriated it to the use and support of that hospital.
Archbishop Courtney, in the 19th year of king Richard II. anno 1395, having obtained the king's licence for making the parish church of Maidstone collegiate, gave and assigned to it the advowson, patronage, and appropriation of this church, among others likewise belonging to it, heretofore of the king's patronage, all which were held in capite, to hold in free, pure, and perpetual alms.
¶The collegiate church of Maidstone was dissolved by the act of the Ist of king Edward VI. after which the church of Sutton remained part of the revenues of the crown, till queen Elizabeth, in her 3d year, granted in exchange, by her letters patent, to archibishop Parker, among other estates, this church, or parsonage appropriate of Sutton, with the advowson of it, being then valued to the archbishop at 5l. 6s. 8d. yearly value; since which it has continued parcel of the possessions of the see of Canterbury to this time, his grace the archbishop being the present owner of it.
The parsonage is demised on a beneficial lease to Mr. Joseph Marsh, of Winkleton, the present possessor of it. There are five acres and three roods of glebe belonging to this parsonage.
This church has been long esteemed as a perpectual curacy. It was augmented with twenty-four pounds by archbishop Juxon, in obedience to the king's letters mandatory, by indenture, anno 13 Charles II. which augmentation was confirmed by other indentures, in the 26th year of that reign. It has likewise been since augmented by queen Anne's bounty.
The ever wonderful, Duke of Burgundy, seen at its usual location this morning.
A massive bonus as it also inhabits one of the best orchid sites in Kent.
The only member of the Metalmark family, very much at home in a Kentish woodland, but on the wing for a brief time.
-----------------------------------------
he Duke of Burgundy is a small, springtime butterfly that frequents scrubby grassland and sunny woodland clearings and is one of the most rapidly declining butterflies in the UK. It was once classified as a Fritillary, but is now the only butterfly in the UK in the subfamily Hamearis lucina, known as the "metalmarks".
This butterfly can be confused with the Burnet Companion moth, a day-flying moth which occurs at the same time of year and is very similar in size. It has dark brown wings patterned with vivid orange spots, with white dots along the fringes of the wings, like a tiny fritillary.
The undersides of the hind wings have two rows of spots; these are white-ish in the male and cream in the female. The female is paler in colouring and the underwings have more of an orange colour that that of the male. The female has six fully-functional legs, whereas the male has only four, with the forelegs being greatly reduced. The lifespan of the butterfly is up to five days.
The adults rarely visit flowers and most sightings are of the territorial males perching on prominent leaves at the edge of scrub. The females are elusive and spend much of their time resting or flying low to the ground. After mating, if there are natural corridors allowing it, they may fly up to five kilometres looking for suitable egg-laying sites. This enables new colonies to become established, but now occurs rarely, due to modern agricultural practices.
The spherical, transparent egg is laid singly, or in batches of up to five underneath Primrose or Cowslip leaves. The egg hatching is dependant on the weather, so can happen between one to three weeks.
The hairy caterpillar eats its eggshell immediately after hatching. It spends the day at the base of the foodplant, feeding on its leaves by night. This stage of the butterfly's life lasts around six weeks, during which it moults four times.
The chrysalis hibernates during the winter months. It hides in vegetation, usually leaf debris or a grass tussock. It is a pink-cream colour and covered with fine hairs and a regular pattern of black marks.
The butterfly lives in small colonies and is only found in England, with a stronghold in central-southern areas and more isolated colonies in the southern Lake District and the North York Moors. Due to its substantial decline in recent decades, especially in woodlands, where it is reduced to fewer than 20 sites, it is a Priority Species. This coincides with the decrease in coppicing and management of woodlands in the past century.
