I love caring for my garden while it rains, even if it makes my toesies cold.
The wet standing stones look gorgeous from behind the dwarf quince.
The bleeding heart and hosta are loving the rain.
My irises are waking up!

Hello and happy #standingstonesunday. Here is another view of Aveburyβs impressive stones (the closest one standing over 7 ft), this time from the inner circle. To me, they are reminders of our impermanence and our connectedness.
May your day be peaceful, friends.

A colour photo showing the view of the West Kennet Neolithic long barrow from the Ridgeway, a kilometre or two to the northeast. The barrow is visible in the centre of the photo, seemingly at the top of a slope. Beyond, the ground falls away before rising again in the distance. In the foreground, the ground also appears to be sloping down and away from teh camera. Everything is pretty much green - grass in the foreground, a crop on the slope below the barrow, and more arable and grass beyond.
A view of the West Kennet long barrow from - more or less - the east, looking up to it from lower ground close to the River Kennet. In the foreground is a wooden gate, with a road beyond. In the distance the ground gradually rises in stages in the direction of the barrow, which can just be seen left of centre on the horizon.
A closer view of the West Kennet long barrow from the east-ish, again looking up to it from low ground near the River. Again, the barrow appears to sit on top of the rising slope in the distance, towards the top of the photo. Much of the ground between the camera and the barrow is green - mostly grass - and the image is crossed from left to right at various intervals by hedgerows and rows of trees. People are, inevitably, standing on top of the barrow mound.
One more for #StandingStoneSunday - some views of the West Kennet long barrow from various distances.

Before we moved to Scotland we had a few visits to Stonehenge as would be a long trek after. This was late spring; we were there for the summer solstice, too many people to bother taking pictures....

Toned black and white photo of part of a large stone circle, with one large stone to the left and two smaller and more distant stones to the right. There are old buildings in the distance.

I mentioned this stone in passing on April 1st, so I thought it I would revisit.

A very ancient monolithic stands in bright sunlight in a field. The surface is pitted with crevices and holes, some of them pass right through the stone.
A close-up of a pinecone and a beech leaf, left in one of the crevices of the Longstone, to honour the ancient monolith

The Longstone of Minchinhampton is one of the nicest monoliths you could hope to meet. It also attracts many deposits and offerings from visitors. All of them very tasteful and respectful.

#StandingStoneSunday throwback to 2016 and my 2 devils at the Devil's stone or Devil's Chair #Avebury. One of the 2 Southern entrance stones to the Great Circle. So called due to the natural ledge or seat formed within the megalith.
I'm long overdue another visit!

#StandingStoneSunday An 8th-10th century Mercian Anglo-Saxon cross moved to the graveyard of St Lawrenceβs in Eyam seen Tuesday. A mid-section is gone, possibly broken up for cobblestones, though the rest did escape Puritan destruction.

Two large stones stand as a portal into the open topped tombs.
Haven't posted a #StandingStoneSunday for a while so here's a couple of orthostats from the much denuded Nympsfield Long Barrow

Single grey standing stone, surfaces dripping in lichens, stands on grass covered headland. Dark stormy sky beyond, and flashes off golden yellow sands, as white waves break from Hebridean waters.
Clach Mhic Leoid has stood, sentinel over sand and sea,
for over 3000 years...
... it will witness great changes in the future.

A large standing stone flanked by smaller stones forming a partially visible ring stand on a desolate moorland. In the distance heather and tree clad hills rise. The tallest hill is topped by a collection of tall radio masts.

A colour photo taken looking actoss a green grass-covered field. In the immediate foregound is a so-called fairy ring - a circle of darker grass. In the distance are the standing stones of the West Kennet Avenue, two roughly parallel lines of upright sarsens heading northwards to Avebury.
Almost walked into this trap on Friday while strolling towards the West Kennet Avenue nr Avebury. Be careful out there... (1/2)

An almost lozenge shaped standing stone, part of the Kennet Avenue, sits in green and yellow fields, with a small hill behind along with blue sky and a few white clouds.

It's a challenging trek to it along a bloomin tricky track, but well worth it as we had the site to ourselves for an hour.

When Carnac archaeologist Zacharie Le Rouzic took the photo of this 2.7m tall menhir in early C20 it was in open countryside. It now stands among the houses in the Impasse de Pouldève in a suburb of Carnac town. #StandingStoneSunday.
