Purple Rain

The reflection of the umbrella was too good not to take a photo of.

The cat and the fairy

Walking through Ashford, after taking the photo of the Sheepwash Bridge (see a previous post), I spotted this lovely little cat-shaped hole in a garden gate.

Ashford's autumn colours

Driving back from Magpie Mine, the colours of the trees near the Sheepwash Bridge were too beautiful not to stop and take a photo of. Photo taken from Daybells Bank.

Magpie Mine - 18th October 2025

Rather than a sunrise this morning, there was a brief pink-ish hue to the sky

It's a beautiful lane to wander along and take photos of at all times of the day and throughout the year. :) I love seeing photos that others have taken of it at times when I haven't been able to get to it.

Vertical panoramas of Upper Moor

You'll probably need to click on each one to see all of it.

Each panorama is made up of multiple photos stitched together.

Seascapes

I know that these patterns are from air bubbles in the stickers/decals/etc on the inside of the windows, but they really look like crashing waves and schools of fish to me... Anyone else?

Misty morning

The red-leaved tree in the foreground featured in a photo that I shared last week (10th Oct). In last week's photo, you could clearly see Riber on the hillside. Not so this morning.

Thanks. It must be really cool having a family of them nearby. I don't often see buzzards overhead like this, but it's lovely when they are. :)

Not the best photos, but it was lovely to see two buzzards flying overhead this afternoon. The other local birds weren't quite as keen though and were squawking loudly and flying around defensively.
