The Engine House
“Like sentinels of days gone by
They’re silhouettes against the sky
A headstone for those still below
A monument we proudly show
Of times when our tin was the very best”
The Beast of Exmoor
On a walk with my camera in thick woodland in Devon I was lucky enough to spot what might have been the Beast of Exmoor.
This elusive animal has been the subject of numerous sightings since the 1970s, although some have put these down to just an overactive imagination.
Lake and Boat
In a quiet Devon backwater guarded by dragonflies a small rowing boat bobs up and down gently in the breeze.
“While my little boat moves on its mooring mist, and daylight wanes, old memories begin.”
Fisherman’s Bay
Visiting Fisherman’s Bay on The Lizard at Gunwalloe to let my dog run on the wide sweep of sand, stretching all the way to Porthleven, I saw just in time hundreds of Man o’ War jellyfish washed up by the last high tide.
Potting Shed at Heligan
Visiting the old potting shed at The Lost Gardens of Heligan at St Austell I saw two young gardeners at work.
On the wall was a photo of a gardener who left the 200 acre estate to go to the Great War to fight in the trenches.
