Cloud Cover
I liked the way the clouds appeared to follow the line of the Spring blossoms.

Spring
First really nice day of spring and crowds were out, all photographing the pink blossoms. I avoided them by lying down on the grass with my head propped up on the bottom of the tree trunk.
Huddlestone Arch
Unicorns at Easter
Easter Sunday morning we took off from our Wooler hotel, walking though town before coming to St Cuthbert’s way and beginning what would turn out to be a 14½-mile walk, nearly to Beal. Click on the images below to see them larger.
Spring, Shard, and Cranes
Creature Comforts
Seen from the bus window on our way from Hamiltons Gallery in Mayfair to the really excellent Street Life exhibit at the David Hill Gallery in Ladbroke Grove.
Farnham in Spring
A flower had blown off the back of her straw hat without her noticing. I picked it up and returned it, then noticing her Spring regalia to take a picture, which she happily agreed to.
Tavistock
After the llama walk we rode into Tavistock, ate a pasty on the church lawn and walked through the pannier market. If viewing in email, click the post title to click into the images and see them larger.
Day 1
We started out for the Jane Austen House in nearby Alton. However we inadvertently went to her brother’s much larger place, Chawton House, initially. Here are a couple of shots before we realised our mistake.
Tree Portrait
I’ve shot this tree before. It looks different every season.

Treelines
What a difference a few weeks make. Here’s a version I posted a month ago (https://islerweb.com/2023/04/20/treelines/)

Spring Castle
Greyfriars
Next we walked down Church Ln to Stour St. Christopher (Kit) Marlowe was born in Canterbury (for an excellent historical novel, read Anthony Burgess’s A Dead Man in Deptford), passing through Beer Cart Ln by the Marlowe Kit to Greyfriars Gardens. Passing through the gardens we came out into St Peter’s Grove, a street that looks like all those English ’60s movies. Click any of the pictures to enlarge them all.
