A small presentation of recent photographs, not previously shared on this humble Yorkshire blog. Above - on the path from East Ardsley to Haigh Moor last Wednesday and immediately below, on the same expedition - the gates of St Michael's parish church...
And now back to our garden. Who is that lurking in the shubbery shadows? Can you see him?
Standing on the wall in the shadow of the privet hedge is Noddy - The Guardian of The Stones. I cannot even remember every place where I picked up those stones for random different reasons.
And in another shady nook, two of our senior gnomes - Penguin and Hamster - named after two gentleman bloggers who reside in Alexandria near Washington D.C.. They are currently on an extended gnome cruise.
Yesterday, I took wee Margot for a walk around the block. Oddly on an adjacent street there's an old tractor that hasn't moved in years. Naturally, Margot wanted to sit on the driver's seat.
And deep in the woods I stumbled across an encampment set up by a few homeless people. Not something I have ever seen around here before...
Snowball hydrangea blooms outside a house on Edgedale Road. It was an eye-catching display.
On Brincliffe Edge, there are allotments like this one. Parcels of land where Sheffielders can grow vegetables or flowers and simply have their own peaceful inner city sanctuaries.
Across busy Abbeydale Road, I snapped this Italian cafe - North Town during a little break in the traffic. It seems a suitable name for a cafe in the north of England. I wonder if they serve Yorkshire puddings...
I don't know why more people don't take walks and take photos. There are always interesting things to see. You have a nice assortment here and I love seeing that happy little Margot driving the tractor.
ReplyDeleteA nice variety of shots, Neil!
ReplyDeletea very cute rand daughter playing on the old tractor. It's funny what appeals to kids.
ReplyDeleteWhite hydrangeas are not often seen around Adelaide so thanks for those. I like the Noddy and have to say the senior gnomes would get repainted if they lived here.
ReplyDeleteThe woods path is lovely apart from the homeless camp, but everyone needs shelter from the rain and somewhere to sleep at night. I see plenty of those around my city. Margot is practising to be a farmer.
Hahahahaha, the Penguin and Hamster gnomes -- looks just like them!
ReplyDeleteA bit grim about the homeless shelter/encampment. I reckon you can expect to see more if you know where to look. In Anglo-Saxon countries especially that sort of thing is on the up and up.
ReplyDeleteAn interestin mix of photos. A bit like life itself.
