More Autumn Clours.

The Autumn colours have really exploded and I got a few images before the rain and winds returned.  Quite a lot of the leaves have now been blown away so I don't expect to get any more Autumn pictures this year. 

I'm a stickler for verticals being "vertical" but this telephone distribution pole was at

this crazy angle. 

This brave "Cranesbill" wild Geranium Flower shone out from the verge. 

When I saw this tractor + two trailers I had an idea what they were there for,

see the next image. 

The farmer turns his cows out into these fields in late March/early April.

At this time of year however they are gathered in and taken to their indoor, winter quarters.

Here he's herded them into a pen ready for the journey.

Autumn Colours.

An unusually bright sunny day.

I took Suzi to Haverstoe Park in Cleethorpes recently and, as usual, I also took a camera along with me, hoping for some Autumn colours.

HALLOWEEN!

I don't really approve of Halloween, but when I saw this house decorated I couldn't resist taking a few pics for the Blog.

"Happy Halloween" !

Recent heavy rain.

We've had heavy rain recently, especially last weekend, when it rained for 36 hours.   No actual flooding in our area but, when we get prolonged  heavy rain, all the water seeps down from the Lincolnshire Wolds, into the rivers and out to the coast.

I went along to where the Louth Canal flows out to sea and found the banks breached and a very high water level.

This was taken in January this year at the weir where the Louth Canal becomes

the Teney Haven just a couple of miles from the North Sea.  The water level is about 

the average for most of the year.

The same spot/view taken a couple of days ago.  The concrete apron to the left, which 

anglers fish from, is under a few feet of flood water and the central pier & weir out of site.

Both banks of the river where people walk dogs are flooded.

Looking back in the opposite direction the view is quite sedate.

A few unrelated pictures from the archives, taken on different cameras, different days & locations.

Nettleham Beck.

Nettleham is a popular, attractive village just a few miles south of Lincoln and has a stream running through it known as "The Beck".
