This week the Church Explorer visits St Mary Garsington a nice looking church that over looks Oxford. At the time of my visit the roof was being done due to thieves steeling the lead flashing off the roof. Not inside photo but do intend to return for some when time permits
Last Saturday I let the dog out first thing and was privileged to see a dew day beginning with a star still glowing in the sky
Happy Skywatch
Red Kites have become quite a common sight in the sky around where I live, normally I just watch them soaring around near our house and loving their aerobatics. Often you hear one calling from a tree nearby. The other day I had my phone on hand and tried to get a photo of one with that
I was quite pleased when I managed to get a shot of one flying over
Zooming in 10x's bright me a little closer
A nice looking bird
And I'm sure it was watching me while I took photo's a few moment later it was flying off from the tree and swooping over my way. it was huge but too fast for a shot with my compact. It was most likely a female from the size as they tend to be bigger than the males.

This week the Church Explorer takes you around St Mary Cholsey, which has links to Saxon and Norman times and where you find Agatha Christie buried
Tuesday the 2nd December meant the Lockdown in England that we had endured for a month had ended, a new day was dawning for us all and we were going to be thrown into a three tier's with most of the country in the high ones. Live would not change much for some. Looking out of the window I noticed a colouring of the sky promising a beautiful dawn
Last week we had some cold fogy mornings, going out on the patios I noticed some dew on the cobwebs, I thought lets get a few photos of them and went and got my phone
Getting out a macro lens on my DSLR I got even closer to the droplets which had formed spheres and reflected my Greenhouse
One of the roses had a droplet by a thorn which when you looked closer had a cobweb on the end with a smaller droplet of dew on it
Dew forming on another rose branch
Even the clematis leaves had droplets on
That's it for this week. Take care

I do not normally post on Monday other than the evening for the Meme's I follow but I have bee updating a few of the blogs on Spuds Rural Exportations which were linked to the Flickr account I deleted. I soon found out that there were more blogs linked to it than I thought. I have updated the blogs with new photo's added and I am gradually working my way through the ones which need doing. The Wallingford Bypass was built during 1992-93 and since being opened had had traffic flowing on it non stop. The link shows how the bypass was built and was the fist time I ever documented any type of project like this and was taken using a Pentax ME super.
Above the road back in December 2019. I have also updated the blog Scotlands Secret Bunker. This is a one of the many cold war bunkers and dates back to the 1960's. It is now a museum which is worth a visit if you are near Dundee.
This week the church explorer visits St Marks Church Cold Ash near Newbury. The church is relativity new being built in the Victorian era.
