Maud Foster Windmill is a seven-storey, five sail windmill located by the Maud Foster Drain in Skirbeck, Boston, Lincolnshire, which she takes her name from. She is one of the largest operating windmills in England being 80 feet tall to the cap ball.
The well preserved village is located along the Zaan river, north of Amsterdam. Several functioning windmills and architectural works, inherited from the people in the past, indicate an importance of agricultural products and craftsman works in the traditional Dutch lifestyle in this area.
This was a windmill that pumped water into the round trough for livestock. It stayed pinned for the last few years; so it wouldn't turn until the windmill finally disintegrated. I was always fascinated by this as a child.

Wimbledon Windmill. Now a museum, and no longer working, the mill machinery is mostly intact. Robert Baden-Powell stayed in the Mill House in 1902 and wrote part of his famous book, Scouting for Boys, here.
I took a drive out to Holland, MI this afternoon to photograph the tulips.
It was a gorgeous day! From a photographic standpoint, the tulips aren't QUITE at peak yet, and it was a bit windy and the sunlight was a bit harsh ... but I certainly did enjoy the wonderful Spring day.
With Mother's Day being Sunday I'd like to dedicate all of my tulip photos from this shoot to Mom's everywhere ... Especially mine!
Happy Mother's Day Mom!
Quainton Windmill (aka Banner Mill) is a historic windmill in the village of Quainton, Buckinghamshire, England.
The 70 ft (20m) six-storey brick tower mill, built 1830–32, is one of the most visible buildings in the village. It was derelict for most of the 20th century it has now been restored and can grind wheat into flour. The windmill was built by James Anstiss and it is still owned by the Anstiss family. It is the tallest windmill in Buckinghamshire.
The mill had a steam engine installed early in its working life. Until 1881, it was wind-driven, but milling came to an end in 1900. The building remained unused as a mill, without a cap or sails, until 1974, when the owner formed the Quainton Windmill Society, with the aim of restoring the windmill. The Society spent 23 years undertaking restoration work. In 1997, milling was re-established.
