St Mary the Virgin Croperdy

 

This week the Church Explorer  visits St Mary the Virgin Croperdy a place well know in the UK for the Fairport Convention Festival that happens. The church is most likely less well known unless you are a church crawler like me

The last of February

 

Well it seems I am still going through my backlog of SkyWatch photos and have now got to the last ones I took back in February. The saying Red Sky in the morning comes to mind with this one and it was a beauty 

Looking out of the bedroom window really did show a glowing orange sky

 Looking out the bathroom window really did show the glow

 Shame the day did not stay that way, later on we had a hale storm, this was the bathroom window.

Happy SkyWatch

A clear day

Back to my backlog of photos this week, the ones I have been showing for the last few weeks I used in other memes as well

This is the kids playground at Upton 

The recreation ground the playground it over to the left

Moving on to the evening and after looking out the bathroom window and a final glow from the sunset

Turning to the left a little and the reflection on the clouds

Deeper color on these clouds

 An almost cloudless sunset the few here catching the sun

Happy SkyWatch

Wednesday Morning

 

Wednesday  after the last sunrise  and this time a beautiful pink hue to the sky

This time rather that out of the window I took it from the back patio

Zoomed in a little

 Going wide

Daffodil time

 

So a friend of mine who lives in Canada told me about some snowdrops he had growing in his back yard, then today told me he had a ton of snow dumped overnight in the yard so now the snowdrops and under it all. Send daffodil photos to cheer him up. we here they are out of my garden and beyond. Enjoy, first few are form over the road by the pavilion

Couple from the front garden of our house

Only a few out the back, I seem to have lost a few

I'll end with these, they are called Cowslips in case you forgot. My wife bought a few last year and they seem to be doing nicely. Mind you they grow wild up on the bank along the Westfield road near Lollingdon.  Ps can't do the Whisky

Take Care

End of January

 

 The end of January and another suburb sunrise presented itself for me

Out of the bathroom window through the apple tree

Zooming out a to normal setting

Zoomed out

 

In a little with the oak tree

 

Even Google had a go adding an effect though I don't think it made much difference

Happy SkyWatch

 

January Dawn

 

I have been lucky with dawn skys so far this year they have been quite something to see, normally the sky is dull and cloudy but on this day I ought it just as it was glow on the horizon 

 

The bedroom always gives a good vista over the houses the glow of the sunrise

 

 

With the apple tree 

 

Out of the bathroom

 

 

Back out the window looking through the apple tree

Happy Skywatch

Christmas Eve

 

Sill in December and one I forgot about, Christmas Eve the excitement over the next day for kids would be getting to the high point. Me I was excited because I took the sunrise  

 

Out the bathroom window it looked glorious

 

The opposite way a Red Kite was up early looking for breakfast

 

The sky was on fire

Happy SkyWatch
