Music in Pictures Contest: Chasing the Sun
I nearly missed this week because following didn’t work, Eat, Travel, Photograph, didn’t appear in my reader, but then I saw Elisa’s Challenge on Livvy’s Blog So this is my entry for Chasing the Sun, the Exe really is a great place for it.
Sunday Post: Favourite Spot
It shouldn’t take too many guesses to work out that my favourite spot is the river Exe! From north of Exeter, through the city and anywhere down to the estuary at Exmouth, I love it.

Travel Theme: Foliage, Return to Rosemoor
Ailsa has highlighted that as we in the Northern hemisphere are entering autumn, those of you down south are enjoying spring. If you follow me you’ll know that I would rather be in constant summer. I’ve chosen to revisit Rosemoor to show you some of the pretty foliage to be found there.

Photo Challenge: Thursdays Windows
It’s time for Sandra’s Thursday Windows once again. This is Cathedral Close in Exeter showing the 16th century Mols Coffee House and to the left is St Martins church, one of the oldest buildings in the city, consecrated a year before the Norman conquest. These windows and all the rest in the area have been around a long time!

Dartmoor Ponies
I was up on Scorhill yesterday, a beautiful blue sky day and there were quite a few ponies around. I’m sure I photographed this grey mare in 2010, she hangs around the same spot. As well as this years foal, last years was still close by and I managed to snap them as she herded them away. I had the zoom lens on so I wasn’t too close.
Aren’t they beautiful?
Travel Theme: White
To mark the 30th annual World Peace Day Ailsa has chosen White this week. I’ve chosen three peaceful white scenes to share with you.
The first is taken in Beer, a little fishing village in East Devon. Beer is on the Jurassic coast and it’s a place I visit regularly. It’s always mystified me because it has white cliffs, but as you can see in the distance, the cliffs to the east at Seaton are red, as are the next around to the west. 
Next, a pretty white thatched cottage also in Devon. 
Finally, a lovely white entrance to a temple in Bikaner, Rajasthan. The door is solid silver. 
Please go and visit Ailsa – it’s worth the trip for the white peacock!

Lady Anne’s Rosemoor
On of my favourite parts of Rosemoor is Lady Anne’s garden. She was the previous owner of Rosemoor, and in 1988 she donated her 8 acre garden and another 32 acres of land to the RHS. For this post I’m choosing some of Septembers loveliest flowers.
So, have you any idea which might be my favourite plant?
If you would like to know what any of the plants are, I remember most of them and I know a blogger who will know the ones I can’t recall!
