Blue sky and Skytrails

 

Every sky is different even the blue ones you see, there is always something that makes them stand out, towards the end of January I was outside and looked at the blue sky crisscrossed with vapor trails

 
As I walked out the back gate to the garden this is what I saw

 
As I turned left the sky was just full of trails

 
The sky was full of them

Snowdrops

 

Spring is on it's way and what nicer that too bring a smile to your face that to see Snowdrops. I'd noticed them in churchyards growing so I thought I would show some of the ones I have come across


In the local churchyard you can see this beautiful display as you come in the gate



I was pleased to see the ones I had planed on my parents grave were flowering hopefully they will flourish along with the daffodils I planted


Little Wittenham church has more


Along with aconites


Even in my garden you can see them growing

Rainbow Cloud


This was a chance sighting when I looked out the kitchen window so to get a better view I went upstairs to the bathroom and took the photos out of the window. Sorry but they do not do what I saw justice

 The cloud does not look so good in this shot

 But zooming in you can see the rainbow in the cloud

Moon in a Blue Sky

 

Took these back in November after letting our dog out and looking up at the sky to see a few wispy clouds and the moon with a star

This is zoomed a little, the moon can be seen with a star under it

Normal view from my phone

Portrait view of the scene

Rainbow Road

 

A double rainbow along the road, wee it was rude not to get a photo now 

 
It was a beauty a full rainbow with a second just forming above

 
Zooming in on the colorful arch

 
The other side not quite as bright
 
 
I'll leave you with a second look at this stunning rainbow

Vyne Skys

 

 Some of the gorgeous skys we had on our visit to The Vyne last month

Going along the path to the house and the sky over the chapel

Bit of sun flair here but this is the chapel, think Henry VIII and Elizabeth I both have been here

Looking across the lawn at what was the front of the house

This was the rear but was changed to the front after the road behind me was opened

Looking up the lake from the weir

Cows grazing in a nearby field

 Finally looking across the lake to the house

Three Photos

 

This week I'm showing three photos, I'm not saying where it is but you might have seen it on the TV or in a few films at one time. See if you can guess where it is and the Program. I'll post where it is in this blog on Wed



 Take Care

One of you guessed right. The places shown were in Downton Abbey. First one was the Hospital, second the dower house and the church7 used in the services and wedding.

Llanlleonfel Church Views

 

If you follow my Church Explorer blog you will have see the church I am talking about. The church sands at the top of a small hill and when I drove up to park my car I did not take much notice of what was nearby. When I came out the view was staring me in the face


This was looking east towards Garth


Looking at the map this is Garth Bank


Looking west in the Beulah direction


Wider view looking east

Being I was using my iphone I took a panoramic view
