Autumn at Fort Henry Lake on the Exton Estate is always well worth a visit. This is my second visit this year and there was plenty of activity on the lake itself with good numbers of Greylag Geese, Mute Swans, Mallard, Coot and Black-headed Gulls to name a few. The trees around the lake include Wellingtonia and Cedar of Lebanon and many other evergreens. The deciduous trees include Beech, Lime, Norway and Field Maple, Willows, Ash and Poplar to name a few.

Having now captured two locations on our Dartmoor adventure (see two previous uploads) plus the privilege of meeting Burt & Henry, both wonderful moorland characters, it was time to move on and photograph location number three deep into the heart of the moor.🚙
Unfortunately we could not photograph location number three due to a minor incident involving Horace, his nether regions, a rusty nail, a check up at Derriford Hospital, and the impeccable bedside manner of Mrs Trebogus.
Whether I will be able to put that report together at some stage in the future without getting thrown off Flickr is questionable.👨⚕️🙈
With Horace quickly patched up we were on our way again and we headed off to location number four. We don’t scare easily.😷🐷
Due to the geographical challenges of the moor, many of the remote properties and farms have no mains electricity or water, also because of the terrain there is no or very patchy mobile phone coverage.📱📡
In situations like this, Hoof likes to try and cover every eventuality so he had fitted a CB radio in the Land Rover, well just in case in his words.🚙📞
Hoof and Horace dropped me off at location number four, ‘Holne Bridge’, while they decided to take a bit of a drive and explore some of the very remote areas on the moor.🐄🐄🐑🐑
When H & H came to one such location, Hoof thought it wise to test the CB radio, so he spoke into the handset, “breaker 1, breaker 1, this is Midnight Express, has anyone got their ears on”.📞
You may ask where Hoof acquired the handle ‘Midnight Express’, well not long before Hoof started advising NASA on how to man manage space exploration, he did a bit of evening work for ‘The Wells Fargo Stagecoach Company’.🐴🏇🚐
Horace said “you are wasting your time Hoof we need to get on” with that there was a crackle on the CB and a response came back “breaker 1, breaker 1, this is Candy Baa, I am reading you strength 5 and we have a bit of a situation here, is that you Hoof.”📞
Hoof responds “hey Candy Baa are you Jacob the sheep farmer who was covered in chocolate at ‘Widecombe In The Moor’ on our last visit”.👨🌾🐑🐑🐑
“That’s an affirmative Midnight Express”.🚂
Hoof responds “for goodness sake let’s pack in all this CB gibberish and talk properly, what is the situation you mentioned Jacob”.🤔
Jacob says “it’s like this Hoof, my wife Ethel was expecting her first baby in a couple of weeks time but nature has other ideas, she thinks it’s going to happen before we can get her to hospital. As you know there are different time zones on the moor and it is dark here already and our electricity generator has broken down as has our Quad Bike”.🌑
Right oh says Hoof, we are on the way, do you have any Tilley lamps if so get them fired up so we can see what we are doing, plus of course hot water and towels.🔥🔥
On route the CB radio in the Land Rover blasts out, “Jacob here again Hoof, things are moving at pace, I think Ethel is going to give birth any moment please hurry”.😫
Hoof responds don’t worry Jacob, Horace has attended the nearby ‘Duchy College at Stoke Climsland’ where he studied animal science, and birthing was on the curriculum.
In fact last week Horace delivered a box of duck eggs to Mrs Trebogus so a baby should be no problem.👶👼
H & H roared into Jacobs dear little moorland cottage, sure enough he had the Tilley lamps lit and within no time Horace had delivered Ethels baby, phew, that was a close call.👶
A couple of moments went by and Ethel said “Horace I think there is another one on the way” sure enough she was correct and Horace duly delivered yet another baby.👶
Poor Jacob was in some state by this time and started to poor himself a drink as he could not believe what was happening.👨🌾🍷🍷🍷
Ethel shouts “Horace this is extraordinary, there is yet another one, so again Horace quickly scrubs up and delivers baby number 3 !👶👶👶
With this Horace puts the Tilley Lamps out, “what have you done that for says Ethel”, Horace responds “I think these kids are being attracted by the light”😜
May I wish you all a really good weekend.
Thank you so much for viewing the photos, your comments and banter is much appreciated.
👍🍺🍺🍺🍻🍻🍻🍷🍷🍷🐎🐷😎😂🍷🍷🍷
Croc Henry (4m, 750kg) was born around 1900 and the local tribe in Botswana asked hunter Sir Henty to kill the croc because of its practice of devouring their children, but after that the tribe consulted the deceased elders and were instructed by them to punish the croc by keeping it alive. And so happened, Sir Henry kept the croc in captivity and in 1985 Sir Henry's grandchildren donated the croc to Crocworld in Scottburgh where he still lives with 10 wives..

An uncomplicated life for an uncomplicated dog.
Here, he's waiting for a photo shoot that never happened.
Poor guy, he plopped himself down in the right spot, in the middle of my kitchen, but he looked so cute that I decided to forgo the backdrop and just go with a happy-snappy.

"Don't hate me because I'm beautiful"
Anyone else remember those commercials (80's Pantene)?
I think of them every time I shoot Henry like this.
FWIW: Henry is Romancing the Cookie... and totally nailing it.

I did something similar a few weeks ago. But come on... look at him. How could I not include this one?

Introducing 'Henry' who was rescued, rehomed and adopted into the Axe household on December 27th 2024.
Henry is a previously abandoned 'rescue cat' pure white kitty who has had a very difficult start to his life with a very long story behind his circumstances.
Henry is now completely safe in his new forever home and he doesn't need to worry about a thing anymore.
Henry was born circa 2022.
Congenital sensorineural deafness in white cats is very common however and thankfully Henry's hearing is perfect. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congenital_sensorineural_deafness_i...

Henry: a playful articulated "T Rex" 3D printed by my daughter. Henry has been taken around the world several times by her Uncle and gotten into very exclusive places. Each new place initiates an image in context that is returned to the maker. Uncle is visiting as we speak. Henry is happy to be HOME.

Devoted to duty as he his, Henry stands guard against any interloper who might dare to enter his yard.

Henry is a little tense on his newly requisitioned favourite blanket. Not surprising as he only arrived in his new forever home just 2 days beforehand.

119 Pictures in 2019 - #90. "Silky"
This piece of silky fabric is one of the oldest in my inventory - and it helped to define my three cardinal rules for fabric purchases, as it breaks all three:
1. Avoid fabric that is shiny - especially for backdrops
2. Avoid fabric that creases (makes for more work post-processing)
3. Avoid fabric with hard to clone patterns (see above)
Of course, there are exceptions to every rule, and used as a drape, this fabric is lovely.

This is the statue of Infante Dom Henrique, Henry the Navigator as seen in Lagos at the Algarve. Henry was an important person in the early days of the Portuguese Empire and discovering the earth by sea. The square in Lagos which can be seen in the photo is infamous for being the one of the first places in Europe for African slave trading. Lagos is a picturesque town at the Algarve and the coastline there is absolutely stunning too!
Henry doing what he does best..

Happy Saturday night everyone. :) The banana bread is almost ready here. I might just sit and eat the whole thing all at once and all by my self. :)
Henry D'Arcy is (almost) done!! :D
He needs a new faceup and blushing because they are so old now, but his outfit and accessories are done now.
He is a Soom Bix hybrid on Ringdoll RGM-4 body.
With news that Patrick Henry has replacements in position, I thought I'd pay homage by sharing one of my best of the last remaining double-bracket pair. Nestled alongside the Staunton River in a remote, relatively flat region of Virginia about 90 minutes south of the Shenandoah Valley, Brookneal hosts the intersection of the ex-N&W Durham & Altavista Districts. The grade-separated crossing and connection as well as the east end of the siding are guarded by two N&W bracket posts on the Altavista side, the last arrangement of its kind. Acquired when the Virginian was bought out by N&W on the latter side of the 50s, the N&W quickly re-engineered the entire line with its standard US&S position lights. Entering 2024, the roughly 60-y/o installation is joined by the much older Shenandoah Valley Line as the final mainline hold-outs of the once vast N&W signalling empire
In late Spring 2023, the C of G heritage unit splits the signals on its eastward journey with export coal loads for the Port of Norfolk. It was my first attempt at shooting the Altavista, but careful planning and custom maps made the chase a tad more familiar than a blind run into a dark cavern. After nabbing it at Dogwood, I managed to best 8101 to Brookneal (the control point) by a narrow margin, where I soon discovered that the double-bracket signal did not reside. By fate or by fortune, 8101 would make an unexplained stop shortly thereafter, giving me enough time to make the long drive and walk to Patrick Henry for a 3rd shot. In the end, a real winner
