A couple from Biddulph Grange today........

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Made what turned out to be an inspired decision to stop off at East Midlands airport on the way home today and were treated to seeing both a Supermarine Spitfire and a P51 Mustang in the air 👌

A few from last night..........

 

It was lovely to see a family of Swans after they all previously died a year or 2 back🙏

 

 

 

Was holidaying nearby last week so nipped over to RAF Coningsby one evening and got a few while they were night flying.

Been doing up an old lodge and been working with an old skool slater, sorting and holing slate, also hand cutting slate bullets. Been a labour of love over the last 10 months. Pleased with a silhouette of the slater chalking his lines and another of some roof detail and the renovated chimney. Popped out today to get a few bits and managed a quick snap of the landscape. All camera phone shots

We arrived just at the right time last night - no sunset to speak of, but the water was like glass. 

 

Lovely sky later too🌛

Went for a drive, saw a Stork, took a few pics.

In the corner 😉

Apparently tonight's Moon is 97.5% full (Waxing) and is 367,816.3 kilometers from Earth 🌛

 

The colour may relate to atmospheric pollution - stunning colour nonetheless!

Apparently no, it is nothing to do with the pollution.

Whatever the cause of the colourful Moon given local weather conditions I suspect it won't be putting in an appearance locally this evening 😕
