Along the Hill

A couple of weeks ago  I showed a photo on Daffodil Sky. it showed the view from the top of the hill overlooking Fforest fields well here are a couple more shots from the top of the hill

Looking along side Aberedw hill

Across Matts common

 and a last look back along the hill from the footpath

Have a great weekend

Grass through the stone

Cat in the Churchyard

I was visiting a church last Friday and noticed this cat intently looking at something

It was quite obvious he was hunting a mouse

He jumped and got something

And toddled off with his prize, which he started to play with but not for long because I being the nasty person I was I picked the mouse up when he dropped it to play with it again and let it go in the long grass and though he dived after it the mouse got away

A short while later he was stalking another mouse, I left him to it and went off home

Taking Part in Our World Tuseday

Going home

Last Thursday I was going home and was just about to get in the car and saw this sky, thought it well worth of Skywatch

Happy Skywatch everyone

 

Leave me alone

Ten Years Later

Ten years ago I took this photo of the South Oxfordshire Council Offices

Now it looks like this

and the entrance to the site like this

In 2015 some one with a grievance drove through the front doors of the office in the middle of the night and set fire to the place after spreading around petrol and gas canisters, his car went up as well, he survived.

From what I read he had a problem with the planning department which is below

The whole building went up and you could see the fire and smoke for miles

The outcome of it was the guy was sent to prison for arson and SODC are still homeless working out of different places. The building is now being demolished and I am unsure as to what will happen to the site though I have heard they are building new offices

Daffodil sky

So last week we has some sunshine and blue sky's and the Daffodils were out in bloom, well I was in Wales

So a bit later I walked up Aberedw hill and took this vista for your eyes

The Race

The beginning of April saw my wife & I at Fforest Fields for the weekend. I noticed there was a mountain bike event on. The first round of the Scott ATB Challenge

I only had my compact so the photos were taken in only a couple of
places near the water stop

The entrants heading off from the stop

most people stopped

and ate while riding

the odd wave was given

Smiles for the camera

grins or heads down

round the corner

help yourself

one guy came in on the back of the motorbike carrying his bike

Dropped off the motorbike headed off again

more munching on the go

older competitors

getting down to it

one of the women competitors

Look I got a banana as he waved on his way past. I took a lot of photos but these are just a few. If I find out of another event I'll take my DSLR
