Chapel Sky

 

For the last few weeks I have been showing sky's from the same day only take in different places. This week will be the last from a couple of places I stopped off at. On my way to revisit a church to update some photos I passed by a couple of chapels, I stopped off at them on my way back to get photos.

This was the second chapel which I visited the sky behind enhanced it

The view over the cemetery

This looked even better from the perimeter wall

Wider view

There was a seat nearby so it made a pleasant place to be

After leaving I stopped off on a hillside that overlooked the Wye Valley

Looking further up the valley, in the distance is the Brecon Beacons

 
Below me the village of Erwood

The road that twists down the hill

Finally looking across the valley

Happy Skuywatch

Some critters

 

 I have to admit I have not been very good at posting on a Tuesday and have been tending to post one so it can be used on two memes. This is due my feeling I had not got any photos worth showing but this week I thought I would show some critters I have taken over that past few weeks

I do like pigs and this particular grunter was rooting in a small woodland near the campsite I visit

Squirrels this one I noticed sat on a planter eating a nut

a walk around the lake and mother coot with a couple of young

Common darter having a rest

This dragonfly was scooting around the lake but was had to get a focus on until it landed

It even swiveled its head to watch me as I got closer

How a bout closer still

 
My wife pointed out something in the wrens nest we have

 
 
Two little chicks waiting for mum. Now the thing is the nest sits in an old seating arbor I converted for my BBQ and the other week I was BBQing on in. Now the burgers will have to wait till they have fledged

Took this yesterday with my iphone, The red kit was sat on the telegraph pole opposite when I came out of the back door. I just went back in picked up my phone and went to our front room and took the photo out of the window. The kite just carried on eating the food it had in it's claws

Take Care
