| The view along to Chichester Cathedral is one that was familiar to artist JMW Turner, though with fewer trees... |

| The steel art placements were intriguing... |
The last steel butterfly is as intriguing as all the fowl along the way, cygnets notwithstanding.
ReplyDeletethat's so peaceful... a place for the soul...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots! Love the swans.
ReplyDeleteIt resembles a tourist brochure for the quiet reaches of the "green and pleasant land."
ReplyDeletelove the steel butterfly and the long tall steeple. sorry about the videos. i have trouble with mine, some work and some don't. I always take too many and then post almost all. hard to decide
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteWonderful views of your outing and the canal. I love all the birds, especially the swan family. The butterfly sculpture is cool. Take care, enjoy your day!
Loved the swans pic the best!
ReplyDeleteYAM what wonderful photos. I especially loved nine cygnets being devotedly attended. Photo looked like a painting. Would be lovely hanging.
ReplyDeleteThe buttie pillar looks very delicate even though it is wrought iron.

Yes, the swans photo is a favorite. Thanks also for the Tate Gallery link.
ReplyDeleteThat swan photo is fab. You had such lovely weather that day. How is the van fitment going? Mr B has lots of work and F has been running about like a mad thing doing allotment gardening - so I, the Tigger, have been running the house. I am however still struggling to get a food dispenser that works to my timetable (and my secretary is a bit haphazard.) good luck making progress on your van. furrings and purrings Mr T

DeleteThank you Tigs, mate...... at least the house in safe paws. F and Mr B need to make the most of the summer weather, so it's good they are busy. Though I was thinking today, it was long since we saw your blog update! We, your adoring public, miss you! h&w, Y-a xxx
Lovely selection this week. I especially like the cygnets!
ReplyDeleteGreat selection. What a contrast between the gentle south of England countryside and my current view looking out of the window and across Loch Torridon.
ReplyDeleteCheers! Gail (who has enjoyed swimming in the loch for a record five days in a row this week).
What a beautiful trip down the canal. We think another trip with video is recommended.
ReplyDeleteThat is a swell adventure!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful pics
