A view from castle walls back towards the central (16th century) stone buildings. Gardens are in the foreground with a large tree on the left just coming into leaf. The sky is blue with wispy cirrus

A view across Greenwich Park, with the Queen’s House and Maritime Museum. The buildings of Canary Wharf are in the centre distance, with the City of London further away on the right. The sky is blue with fair weather white cumulus clouds.

A large cedar with upper branches sticking out like unkempt hair. The sky is blue with white cloud, the ground grass with a flower bed in the foreground.
A rather magnificent cedar in Greenwich park today.

A blue sky with wispy cirrus clouds. Green fields and trees are along the bottom of the image.
I’ve got a rather unpleasant hospital procedure later, so to distract here’s a photo of Sussex skies taken yesterday.

The largest and sharpest image ever taken of the Andromeda galaxy — otherwise known as M31. It is the biggest Hubble image ever released and shows over 100 million stars, thousands of star clusters in a section of the galaxy’s disc stretching across over 40 000 light-years.

A stone church with a square tower. Two concrete residential towers are further behind, flanking the church tower. Trees in blossom are in front of the church.

An Elizabethan stately house, seen down a grassed path flanked by high ornamental hedges. The sky is blue with large white cumulus.

Terry Pratchett in a blue jacket and Akubra hat holding a young owl for release.
Eleven years since you crossed the black sands. I wish I could say that the world is better than you left it (although it will always be better for having had you in it) but at least there is a new Young Sam to help carry on the Pratchett name and ethos. Love you always ❤️
A shallow, fast flowing river in a forest. The trees are a mix of green and autumnal yellow. The sky is overcast white cloud.

#birds
A European stonechat perched on a bramble stem, surrounded by fresh green leaves with reddish edges. The small bird has a warm orange chest, mottled brown back, and a pale wing patch. Its beak is stuffed with a messy bundle of dry grass, moss, and fine roots—nest material so large it partly hides its face—suggesting it is busy building or lining a nest. The background is softly blurred green, making the bird and the tangle of nesting material stand out clearly.
Good morning. For the alt of today’s #BirdOfTheDay #NestBuilders I’m going with this Stonechat who was building a three room extension to the nest, all with sea views. #birds #photography #EastCoastKin
Bit foggy this morning…

A view of cirrus clouds, lit pink by the setting sun (not in frame, a large bare tree is in the bottom right.

A ballock dagger handle, missing the tang-attached blade. For those who want to complain about the spelling we use, both this and the one you use are correct, but spelling it with an 'a' avoids issues with filters...
Victorian antiquarians called this type of dagger, of which 65 were found on the Mary Rose, a 'kidney dagger', as the lobes on the handle apparently resemble a pair of kidneys.
The Tudors called it a ballock dagger, after a different body part, but we don’t see it ourselves...
A clear sky, crossed with two vapour trails and the glow of sunset at the bottom. A silhouetted bare tree is at the bottom left, with the tops of a few houses visible.
It’s been sunny! And Warm!

See you then!
A view of the Elizabeth Tower (aka Big Ben) on the right and the rest of the palace silhouetted against a blue sky with bands of thick clouds. Silhouetted Victorian lampposts are on the left edge of the image.
The Palace of Westminster with some brief blue skies between showers yesterday.

A long-dead tree stump, bleached white. The land has eroded underneath it and it is now standing on a white beach, roots exposed. The turquoise sea is to the left and live trees and foliage on the right. The sky is mainly clear blue, with some clouds on the horizon and a faint one top centre right.

A view diagonally across the Thames, with Tower Bridge on the left and The Shard to the ight. The sky is mostly overcast, with a few central blue patches with the sun shining through a thinner section of cloud.
The sun was almost breaking through this morning!

I don’t think I managed to keep one, although I’ve got an old 10p and 5p.
My parents recently found a ‘box of treasures’ I’d put together when I was around 9. As well as the coins, there’s a compass, a magnet on a string, a small Lego car and an assortment of novelty pencil sharpeners!
Age verification?
Two of my grandparents were born before aeroplanes were invented.
I remember spending half pennies on sweets at the newsagent!
I also remember one pound notes but [checks Wikipedia] that was a few years later.
The sun setting beyond a small harbour, reflecting on the sea. The sky is clear, other than for a small amount of cirrus.
It has stopped raining, at least, so another photo of #sunlight for #BlueSkyArtShow in the hope that it will manifest in reality!

The low sun on the right hand side of the image shining through high cloud onto the sea. Two small sailing boats are in the distance in the centre.
Absolutely no #sunlight here as it is yet another day of rain, but a photo from warmer climes for today’s #BlueSkyArtShow

I’ve long been a fan of Morgan Le Fey.
Tiffany’s fantastic, too, of course.
