The limestone meets the sea at Jack Scout on Morecambe Bay. The sky was looking good for a sunset as I walked through the woods near Silverdale, so I headed here to the cliffs, only to witness another "cloud hoover" of the sky!
So looking for a bit of foreground interest I found this area of limestone with a small clump of "Sea Thrift". The rocks provide a bit of a lead into the Kent Estuary and you can see the Central Lake District fells in the far distance as the sun sets over Southern Cumbria.
Scout was a gorgeous young-looking fox that visited our property a few times this winter, but has not been seen for a couple of months. Why is it that a welcome visitor like Scout, who had hunting success here, only visits a limited number of times whereas pests are so often very difficult to drive off?

A number of times I've been running late and reached this same point along the edge as the sun rises. This time the gap in the clouds was in just the right place.
A classic overview of the city skyline of Kansas City, Missouri but this time I took several steps back to frame the shot with the tree. I raced out on this night thinking the sunset would be epic. There were several thin clouds about and I was hoping the sun would just burst them into an array of colors. It never materialized the way I hoped but I was still happy enough with the shot. The clouds add a little drama to the sky and I was hoping to anchor the shot with the tree roots on the bottom right.

An old shot from a few years ago. A wonderful sunset looking towards the downfall on Kinder Scout.
Struggled to compose a foreground, but the conditions were fantastic.

A photo from Saturday morning closer to sunrise. Before the sun had reached the inversion in Edale Valley.
Loved the mix of warm and cool light on the frosted heather.
Scout Cave is in Snow Canyon State Park near St. George, Utah. It is about 100 feet deep and 50 feet tall. The view from its mouth includes a residential neighborhood all the way to distant mountains.

One from the archives from seven years ago.
SCOUT: "Hullo everyone! Look! Look at me! I'm a pretty princess with a purple crown! When I saw these pretty purple rhinestone pegs on Daddy’s desk, I was determined to get my paws on them! They make great accessories for dress-ups. Look! I made a crown!" *Preens.* "Do you think I look pretty? I do!" *Preens more.* "Who wants to play princesses with me?"
The theme for "Smile on Saturday" on the 23rd of March is "clothes pegs". If you follow my photostream, you will be familiar with Paddy (my Paddington Bear whom I have had since I was two years old) and his friend Scout, as they often feature in stories and adventures on Happy Teddy Bear Tuesday and sometimes other days of the week, such as this photo for today’s theme. This is Scout, and Scout likes getting dressed up and playing make believe, especially in furs and as a member of royalty! He is very ingenious and resourceful, as is demonstrated by the crown he is wearing, which he has created using some rhinestone covered purple clothes pegs that formerly were mine, but now are undoubtedly his, and a lilac satin ribbon. I hope you like my choice of the theme this week, and that it makes you smile.
Scout was a gift to Paddy from my friend. He is a Fair Trade Bear hand knitted in Africa. His name comes from the shop my friend found him in: Scout House. He tells me that life was very different where he came from, and Paddy is helping introduce him to many new experiences. Scout catches on quickly, and has proven to be a cheeky, but very lovable member of our closely knit family.
Another side project in between commissions. The sculpting was finished a few weeks ago, but I finally got around to painting it.
I never liked LEGO's scout trooper helmet, the proportions and positioning of parts were all wrong. I was originally going to make this a decaled figure, but decided to sculpt it all the way. Knowing that walking around in Endor's mud is no clean task, I dirtied the boots and weathered the gun to make him look like he's seen a speeder chase or two.
The speeder is based off of BrickDoctor's speeder from ages ago, modified for my own interpretation. I figured if I was going to make a nice scene with this guy, it just wouldn't be complete without the speeder.
I'll post a video review after I post Rey's soon. So as always, expect more, and I'd love to hear your thoughts!

This is one of many cabins that scouts use, its situated by a lovely lake.
I guess, and hope, that there has been lots of fun in this area when they have been visiting

Dad!! You forgot! Yes Scout it's been a very busy week with work and I didn't have anytime for a photo. I know we normally do our photos on Sunday but there is a dog that needs to be adopted that needed some new photos soooo yes I forgot your weekly picture.
Have a great week everyone!
A few pics from a couple of years ago when we had some very late snow on the hills. This was April and a very strange combination of chilly snow and warm spring sunshine.
