those old windows

I’m a sucker for those tiny little diamond-shaped windows.

In case you were wondering, this church dates to the late 13th century and has both a resident organist AND a “band of bell ringers.” And that’s not all! The last village band in Worcestershire, the Bretforton Silver Band, has strong ties to the church and provides music for special services.

Hotel visitor contemplates her day

This town was my parents’ favorite in all of England. They talked about it a lot. The Patient Spouse and I took my dad on a last trip to England after my mom died, and of course he planned a trip around this town. And then, when the Patient Spouse and I took Miss Hannah Harvey on a trip to England, we wanted to go back and see it again.

All that aside, what do you suppose that woman in the window is thinking about. Maybe it’s “why do SO MANY Texans think they need to keep coming here?”

Garden Gate Gentleman

For reasons that I am not sure I fully understand, I haven’t been out shooting much lately. As a result, you are about to be treated to a dive into the archives.

This gentleman totally knew I’d taken his picture, didn’t he?

Toward the manor

A pastoral English scene – someone walking through a field toward a manor house.

(At least it seemed pastoral to me…)
