Simpsons Clouds

 

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

Couple of Sunsets

 

Noticed the sun setting one day back in April so though get up to the bathroom  

Yep worth doing

 Quite a beautiful sunset

St Michael & All Angels Great Tew

 

This week the Church Explorer visits St Michael & All Angels Great Tew which is set back off the road in the grounds of the Great Tew Estate. the church has a lot of history surrounding it and has a stunning effigy in the chancel   

The Swans

 Update on the swan nesting

 Last time I looked and saw the swans nesting, on my return the other day I walked past the nest and my heart dropped as I noticed one solitary egg, I though they had deserted the nest

A few yards further along and I saw the swans with cygnets

All seven of them

The parents keeping an eye on them all the time

The cygnets stayed close

Mother and young

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.

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

Wednesday Morning

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
