Quite often you look up the fluffy clouds and think they look like the ones you see on the Simpsons.
Might be wishful thinking with the Simpsons but I do like cotton wool clouds on a blue sky

Wallingford Medical Practice, I took it when I noticed that there was no photo showing for the place, to date it has had 731735 views. The place has become too small for the area it serves so a new one is planned to be built in the future and I hopefully will be there to get another photo
Odd one this the Red Lion in Cholsey, I happened to be walking past and noticed the raindeer which is why I took it and posted the photos. It has had 690950 views.
I'll leave with this one of St Michael at the North Gate church in Oxford. It's had 6671 views, I took it two months ago
Take care
This week the Church Explorer visits St Barnabus Oxford, one of the last churches I need to visit from the book Oxfordshires Best Churches and it is one that does not disappoint
These were taken in December 2014 0n my wife's birthday when I took her out for afternoon tea at some posh restaurant, we had a walk around and went up Carfax tower to see Oxford from on high. They were taken with a compact camera
The green spire I think is near the castle
This is looking up the high street towards the University church of St Mary which is the tall spire. You were looking towards me in the photos I showed a few weeks ago
This is straight down the tower which is all that remains of the old church that stood here, just beside that roof below is a few headstones that remain of the churchyard
That area is Carfax where George street, Cormarket Street, High Street and St Aldates meet
This looks across the top of Cornmarket street towards Exeter collage
Back up the High Street
Turning a little and the town hall is on the right
Zoomed in on the Ratcliffe Camera Left and Lincoln Collage library , St Mary's spire is just left of it
Could well be Merton Collage chapel
Towards Tom Tower and St Aldates church
That is the top of Carfax tower
And that is where I had been.
The clock chimes on the hour and ever tourist and their dog stand gawking at it while the two men hammer the bell

This week the Church Explorer visits St Aloysius Gonzaga Oxford one of the few Catholic churches I get to see but it is one of the most stunning churches I have visited
These were taken in the morning when we took the pup for a walk around the campsite lake
There is a hit of mist rising off the water
The ducks were waking up
It was all just still
Giving some superb reflections
The seat in the lake
Happy SkyWatch
The swans and cygnets beside the lake, the near one in hissing BTW because of our puppy
Bull rush by the lake
Well more do grow along it but a few have not gone to seed
The swan was preening itself and moments later flapped it's wings from which you could feel the air move
I watched the ducks swim up and get over coming to see if they would get fed, sadly for them no but it did not stop the swans coming near to see what was on offer. Seems people must feed them to be so forthcoming
The Red Admiral was on a Buddleja and I could not resist getting a photo
Take care
This week the Church Explorer visits St Giles Oxford a church that sits between two roads at the end of St Giles in Oxford
Some photos from my recent trip to Oxford to visit some churches there
Collage of some of the places I wentThe north end of St Giles where the Woodstock and Banbury roads meet, St Giles church is in the middle
Oxford War memorial
Little Clarendon Street, I used to visit a restaurant here with my Wife
Browns another place I have been to in the past
I'm sure this was the hospital entrance as I seem to remember being taken through here to A& E a few times due to work related accidents. Basically dumped off and told to phone for a lift back when you were sorted
The Woodstock road
