The style of architecture of this church is quite beautiful, Rosa. The spire is very impressive. I love the colour contrast between the brown roof tiles and the blue sky. I love also the contrast in shapes of the stones in the dyke; i.e. the cut stones in the body of the dyke and the random shapes of the stones on top.

The three photographs of the flowers persuades me spring is just round the corner.

Cheers,

Joe

Zeals is 4.3 miles from me Joe and I always look across at the church when passing through. It is in such a nice setting, and the village green is full of flowers at this time. It felt like spring on my walk, but since coming home, it feels more like winter again!! Thank you as always for your nice and interesting comments.

Cheers, Rosa.

It is a lovely church with its red roof and beautifully proportioned spire. The spring flowers look so beautiful in the sunshine. Yesterday was so springlike here but today is wild wind and heavy rain. Don't think I'll be walking somehow.

Thank you Jean. I was a day of two halves here! This afternoon we also had the wild wind...I am hoping not the heavy rain though!

That church certain looks splendid in the sunset..............I especially like the spire and the red roof tiles. I also like the surrounding wall. I love the spring flowers in the PiPs, particularly the Snowdrops..........all beautifully captured in wonderful detail and colours! Really lovely photography Rosa!

I had a 50ft high sycamore tree in my garden taken down yesterday, as the bottom of it had rotted and it was dangerous. Despite the intermittent rain the tree surgeon got it down and also reduced the size of the bigger tree in the other corner. Most of the garden is now covered in sawdust! The poor man tried to blow it into piles to sweep it up but it was so wet it didn't move so I just told him to leave it...........in a week or so it will have changed colour from off-white to brown and it will make a good mulch :-))

PS: the squirrels are now totally confused because their favourite tree has disappeared :-))

Rosalyn Hilborne replied to Keith Burton:

Thank you Keith. It is in a lovely setting. I have never actually been inside, but I don't think they are open at the moment anyway.

Wow, 50ft is high! Always a shame to see a big tree come down though. It must have taken quite a time! It sounds like a thankless task trying to sweep the sawdust up. I put sawdust around flowers that the slugs like...it keeps them away. I have almost lost delphiniums due to them.

Oh dear! Poor squirrels. I will expect some pictures of puzzled squirrels from you now then Keith ;-))
