Blackheaded Gull

Took a trip out to Driffield the other day with a view to taking some photos. I managed this one and about half-a-dozen more when the batteries in my camera went flat. I had another camera but the batts had died in that too; so I was not the happiest of bunnies.

Feeding the ducks...

....and the geese and the gulls and the pigeons. This man suddenly found himself very popular when he emptied a bag of breadcrumbs.

The building in the background is Malet Lambert school, one of the better educational establishments in Hull which isn't saying much.

Peacock Blues

Looking for animals to photograph for today's theme picture I came across these colourful peacocks stoically sitting out the wintry chill in East Park's animal enclosure.

Sea of gold ...

alas no, just a fancy sunset on the Humber earlier this month.

Steps

This is the footbridge over the tracks at Beverley station. This is a posh bridge, it's covered, usually you're open to the elements as you cross.

There's a seat that shapes our ends, rough hewn though it may be...

Here an old tree is put to use as a resting place for tired beings in Cottingham Dean.

Old Church

This is St Mary's on Lowgate which I've shown bits of before( 1 & 2 ); here's the southern side.  The original church dates from early 14th century though it's been knocked about a bit by a local lord of the manor who thought it was spoiling his view. To me the tower looks to be out of proportion and it turns out it was added later and built across the pavement.
