And Then There Was One

nobody@flickr.com (The Somerset Stroller) — Tue, 21 May 2013 14:43:26 -0700

I thought that this was what going to happen to Flickr this morning!! Looking at the huge amount of unsatisfied Members who were threatening to leave.

I have got quite used to the new layout now, and am quite pleased, with the exception of one or two niggles. At least they have listened to some of our pleas.

Took a little diversion over the Quantock Hills on my way home from work last night. The bluebells up here always seem to be a little later than those on the Levels, and also, are normally a little thinner. The light was fairly poor in Strawberry (Twenty Acre Plantation), and the wind was blowing the flowers around, however I was quite pleased with the result.

Have a lovely Saturday. The sun is shining brightly here.

A corner of the interior of St. Etheldreda or St Audries Church. Thought this look so colourful, even if some of the foilage on the plants were past their best!!

On reaching the top of the hill, from the gateway of my previous image, I came across a stone circle. I do not think that this has any great age, but is used as a setting for wedding ceremonies by the farm owners.

Took this image last week on my way to work. It was a lovely morning, with a dusting of snow on the hills. Today, I took some exercise and revisited the spot, to venture along the footpath that ran alongside the drive. More to come - later!
