Sunday Snowdrops

Posted on Posted in winter, YorkshireTagged , , , 5 Comments

Well hello the first week of February, I thought i would share these beautiful Snowdrops and this very changeable day of wind, sunshine and rain. Have a lovely day to go out with the camera!

To a Snowdrop – William Wordsworth

But hardier far, once more I see thee bend

Thy forehead, as if fearful to offend,

Like an unbidden guest. Though day by day,

Storms, sallying from the mountain-tops, waylay

The rising sun, and on the plains descend;

Yet art thou welcome, welcome as a friend

Whose zeal outruns his promise! Blue-eyed May

Shall soon behold this border thickly set

With bright jonquils, their odours lavishing

On the soft west-wind and his frolic peers;

Nor will I then thy modest grace forget,

Chaste Snowdrop, venturous harbinger of Spring,

And pensive monitor of fleeting years!

Snowdrops

New additions

Hope you are having a good weekend so far? I […]

First week of February

Posted on Posted in travels, Videos, winter, YorkshireTagged , , , 4 Comments

Well hello the first week of February!

A great start to a new month by visiting York Cemetery open day. In bad taste? No…there is so much to see here no matter what time of year.

York Cemetery was opened in 1837 and went into voluntary liquidation in 1966. The liquidation took thirteen years during which time all that could be disposed of for profit was sold. Sadly, nobody was interested in running the site and it devolved to the Crown. All rights of burial and access to the site were lost.

Over the liquidation period, the Cemetery became a derelict wilderness and its buildings decayed, the collapse of the roof of the Grade II* listed neo-classical chapel in August 1984 being the final act in the drama. This was the point at which a group of concerned York citizens decided that steps had to be taken to retrieve the situation.

It is now a lovely way to spend an afternoon walking and taking in the trees, plants and architecture.

Big Bird Watch 2022

Posted on Posted in winterTagged , , Leave a comment

Monday & Tuesday have been so dull and gray – really depressing. This morning I cycled in the drizzle, not much fun! Although, at the weekend it is the Big Bird Watch (UK) again!

Photo RSPB

Simply count the birds you see in your garden, from your balcony or in your local park for one hour between 28 and 30 January 2022.

Shockingly, we’ve lost 38 million birds from UK skies in the last 50 years, so it really is vital we do all we can to look after our birdlife. To take part or to find out more click the button.

Sound on to transform you to the park with the quacking of ducks!

A cold and dull trip to the park but it gave me inspiration to create this video and some of the images below. I love water and I love to hear the sounds that as you just sit and listen.
