From the bedroom window

Yesterday we saw blue sky in the morning - the first for quite some time. This was what greeted me when I opened the bedroom curtains.

Empty quarter

The school summer holidays are upon us, the afternoon was warm and dry and acres of grass in Stanmer Park have been mown - and yet there are acres of empty space. Actually, that is quite unusual, although as the picture was taken on a weekday afternoon that might have had something to do with the sparse crowds.

Falmer village hall

overlooks the pond. It's difficult to guess just when the hall was built as the architectural style is so unusual.

Falmer village pond

This was the only place around the pond where I could take a picture without getting fleets of cars or a host of people into it.

Field Scabious

Also known as Ladies' Pincushion, this is a common wild flower on chalk land like the South Downs. Perhaps surprisingly, it is a member of the teazel family.

Look up

I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills

Psalm 121

Rabbit, rabbit

Fern didn't see or smell them otherwise there would have been a chase.
