28th May - late afternoon visit to Roddlesworth

Went back to Roddlesworth to explore a path i'd not visited before, but before I got to this 'new' path, I came across these late woodland Bluebells in this field.

 I did this to finish the photo off - me looking into the field of bluebells

 I wasn't expecting to find this on the 'new' path - i'd love to get to the river level to take a photo looking up, but as where I was stood was some 3metres above the water on a shear drop, am not too sure how as yet - as walking up the river will mean a hazardous 100m river walk - well another time maybe

 Regular readers will recongise this bridge - caught this in great light!

triggered the camera remotely to show me looking downstream

Thanks for your time looking.

17th May 11 - a cloudy wet miserable day in the lakes - again !

The above two photos are from the side of Wast Water - looking West at the end of the deepest Lake within the Lake District - it was windy and cold, never mind the low cloud !

I took this photo to show a mate that I do wildlife occassionally - granted I used hte Blackhead gull in the foreground of a landscape photo ! By the way thats now sky at the top of the photo, its very low level cloud over the scree slopes of Wast Waters south shore

Regular visitors to my blog will understand me taking this photo, even in the miserable weather conditions, I had just miss a coach load of Japanese visitors tramping around here, I past them walking down hte middle of the access road !

The farmer has sheep in the field now, so maybe you can stop an odd one or three!

I hadn't stopped this white farm house before - must have been the misty conditions that showed it all to me

8th May - A re-visit from yesterday

Took my 'Darling' better half with me today

The better half going to see the Bluebells, the old 'Well House' on the right

Bluebells - the last of this season !

A 'new' stream and waterfall for me - loads of possibilities for later in the year

Thanks for viewing

7th May - Roddlesworth again

However, i visited an area that i've not been too before - the old manor house ruins dating from 14th Century and the Well House from the 18th Century. The Well House is padlocked shut and very dark, but i've included a photo taken at about 20seconds to show the inside - 3 springs collected here when the well house was in full use and even now you can see where the water would have arrived.
The huge bonus for me today was the fact that there where still bluebells in flower, which i manged to catch during the rain showers.

The old Well House -with the original 'well' in the foreground, you can just see the bluebells in the distance

Inside the old Well House - either side of the lions head are the original baths. You can still see the water running out though the floor

Blue bells behind the Well House

Well have to revisit this area again.
