Farming

This morning there was a small display of Tractors in the castle square area so i decided to pop and check them out and grab a few shots . A little disappointing as there was only 4 on display. So here is a few shots of them.

Austin Sevens

There was due to be a display of old Austin seven cars in town today to help celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Lincolnshire car club. When i arrived there was only 2 cars there I don't know if the weather had put people off .

Wet Wet Wet

For the last few days we have had lots of rain . This has caused the rivers in the area to swell and even overflow in places. This evening I took a few shot along the cycle track that runs along the river. 1 shot is of a sundial and I have included a shot taken a couple of weeks ago as a contrast.

Dragon fly

Final stop at Chamber farm wood was the garden area again to check out the pond area. I was rewarded with a couple of dragonflies . The big one is a male Broad bodied chaser. there was also a couple of  damselflies as well which I have included shots of.

Marsh Fritillary

Next stop at Chambers wood was to move onto Little scrubs meadow where around one thousand Marsh Fritillary butterflies could be found. I never tire seeing these and this is the largest amount of them I have seen at one time.A small selection of my shots which also includes an Orchid which is past its best but is the 1st for me a Butterfly Orchid which was the only one there

Broad Bordered bee hawk Moth

This morning a trip out to Chambers wood a few miles outside of Lincoln. I went to take shots of butterflies and Moths. Upon arriving at the car park I went to check out the garden area where I found this lovely Moth. I saw at least 7 individuals but could have been more as they move around very quickly. Here is a selection of some of my shots of it .

North Sea Observatory

Today we took a trip to the coast to check out the North Sea Observatory at chapel St Leonards.It is a new building which has a cafe and a display gallery. The exhibition at the moment is a Green Man display, a lot of them are made from recycled wood and paper . So here is a few shots including an old abandoned  thatch cottage which we came across further down the coast.
