A family trip down the range – this afternoon we went down to Sound of Freedom in Ozark for some family ‘range time’. One-minute read. 4 pictures

Blue Ball – Something different for a change … I was sitting at the kitchen table entranced by the play of light filtering through the trees and the kitchen window mesh screen. The shadows were forming wonderful dancing patterns on a blue (lacrosse) ball Ginger had left on the table. Video: 1 minute & 2 pictures

A quick trip down to Branson – I was visiting Branson to record a video interview at Shepherd of the Hills Episcopal Church, and this is the rental vehicle I ended up with. +2

Storm clouds over the Solent – Vacation Day 12.

Footpath to Kingley Vale. Vacation Day 9. Today we went for a short hike with Marcelle and Charlie (the dog).

Yew, Pumpkin, & Feather – evidence of fairies in the woods.

The yew trees at Kingley Vale are large and old (400 years or so), they are also weirdly contorted as can be seen here.

View from Kingley Vale – It all looks very peaceful now, but Kingley Vale was formerly used for artillery practice.
