Thursday’s Windows – Week 5

You wouldn’t really expect me to post a conventional window every week would you? I saw this one with its lovely objects around it at Cockington last weekend and I knew I would share it today. 

Join in at Sandra’s place! http://sandraconner.wordpress.com/2012/10/18/photo-challenge-thursdays-windows-week-5/

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?
