Well we have moved! Been here a week. The house is still a mess, but we are getting there! Decided to have a break today so went and had lunch at Fingle Bridge Inn after an hours walk! Nikon D40 18-55mm / Within the Dartmoor National Park MAP For more information on Fingle Bridge see here Back in 1893, John Lloyd Warden Page published the following description of Fingle Bridge: ”... the ancient bridge, so narrow that only one cart at a time can pass over it, and the wayfarer caught thereby must retire into one of the triangular recesses, the continuation upwards of the sharp buttresses that divide the hurrying waters. A sweet spot, though somewhat sad toward eventide, when the ‘cry’ of the river sound mournful on the darkening atmosphere”. He must have been having a bad day when he penned the above lines because two years later, in 1895, Page waxes positively waxed lyrical about Fingle Bridge: “How clear the rushing waters gliding beneath the three gray arches! how rich in colouring have the lichens and ferns rendered its hoary walls! and, whether we look up-stream to the hills, softly meeting one another with foliage changing from bright green in the foreground to misty blue in the distance, or downward to where the old mill with its moss-grown water-wheel, nestles beneath the woods, and Prestonbury rises mountainous over all, we shall confess that a scene of greater beauty it has never been our lot to view”.

This was our first sight of England on our move back to the UK. 17.09.09 The white cliffs of Dover with the castle perched on the top. Taken through the seacat’s window, so I had to clone out dirty marks etc! Probably better viewed large! Nikon D40 18-55mm

Yep just what I have missed! The green rolling hills of the British countryside! Crediton Lane, somewhere near Froggy Mill, Cheriton Bishop and Neopardy, Devon! Nikon D40 18-55mm

We took the dogs today for a little hike! Well a 2hr one from Fingle Bridge to Iron Bridge, along the river Teign and back along the other river bank. They are both now snoring loudly! I will have to return with my tripod to try out some blurred water shots! Nikon D40 18-55mm Within the Dartmoor National Park

Do you remember the little dog I found on the Spanish campo back in January? Well here she is enjoying the British countryside….. she was a little unsettled by the constant upheaval over the week of our travels from Spain to the UK, but now she constantly wants walks! I had a minor panic in France when the French vet thought her passport wouldn’t let her back into the UK until the 18th September, when we were traveling on the 17th! But I was right with my understanding of the system and she was allowed back in on the 4th! Phew…... So the scruffy little Spanish campo dog is now a fully fledged country loving British mutt!

Just a few weeks ago, for our morning walk, all we had to walk around was a local dusty, dog faeces ridden, very small park and the local streets, in Spain. Now I am greeted by rolling hills, very little doggie doos and the sound of singing birds! This little walk starts not far from my daughter’s school, so is perfect to combine the school walk and the dog walking! Oh and the mud is this red, I guess it is clay! Devon, on a misty September morning. Nikon D40 18-55mm

Went for a little drive this morning to find a tor! Don’t know where many are at the moment, but had heard of Haytor so plugged in the sat nav and off I went! Infront of Haytor are a few wild ponies. The hill was much stepper than it looks too! For those who don’t know the Devon and Cornwall moors are famous for their tors. A tor is a rock outcrop formed by weathering, usually found on or near the summit of a hill. In the South West of England, where the term originated, it is also a word used for the hills themselves – particularly the high points of Dartmoor in Devon and Bodmin Moor in Cornwall. Tors are composed usually of granite or metamorphic rocks. Tors can also be found around any previously erupted volcanoes (although Devonian and Carboniferous outcrops are also found), though occasionally of other hard rocks such as quartzite, and are the result of millions of years of weathering. In prehistoric times, when the land was covered in forest, rain water seeped into the ground and gradually weathered the bedrock through its natural cracks, or joints. Once the land became exposed, the weathering was accelerated, particularly during the Ice age when freezing water expanded in the cracks. The result can be seen today in dramatic rock formations.

This is taken from the hill at Haytor, looking towards Haytor Vale. Better viewed large Nikon D40 18-55mm

As I drive around these lanes, it amazes me I don’t crash! This is where being a spider would be advantageous so that I could keep some eyes on the road and others could admire the countryside! MAP Nikon D40 18-55mm

I am spoilt for choice since moving back to the UK! Another view from Crediton Lane, somewhere near Froggy Mill, Crediton, Devon. Nikon D40 18-55mm

A shallow trickling stream, crossed by a little bridge in Eggesford Forest, Devon. It was so shallow you could easily walk through it, but I guess in winter it would babble more briskly! I did prefer this shot but now seeig the other shot below, I am not so sure! Which do you prefer? Nikon D40 18-55mm Poster edges added in PSP I have also added these 2 other shots I took of the bridge, one with Hannah !

These are actually huge pebbles or well rounded small rocks! Taken at Westwood Ho, North Devon, I so wished I could pinch some for my garden! They ranged from about a foot in size, maybe bigger, down to about 4 inches. Nikon D40 18-55mm

Whilst sat at a red traffic light at road works on the A377, Newbridge Causeway, between Bishops Tawton and Chapelton, Devon, I had to open the car window and take a quick snap of this vista! I did try a second shot, but the lights turned green and hubby drove on leaving me with a blurred shot, so had to make do with this one! I believe this is the river Taw. Nikon D40 18-55mm

Nothing more, nothing less, just a farm track! But I just liked it! Nikon D40 18-55mm

Saw this little cottage the other day when I didn’t have my camera. So went back today to try and capture it! Today has been perfect, clear bright blue skies, really warm to the extent I saw someone sitting on a chair in their swimshorts and sunglasses outside their front door! Although that was a bit extreme in my opinion! Nikon D40 18-55mm

Meldon Reservoir, near Okehampton, Devon within the Dartmoor National Park. What a glorious hot day it was today for the 10th October. Nikon D40 18-55mm

The Collegiate Church of the Holy Cross and the Mother of Him who hung thereon, Crediton, Devon
by SquealiaMonument erected with an effigy of John and Isobel SULLY, probably erected in the 1390’s. It was originally placed in the North Transept but was moved to the end of the South Choir Aisle, the Collegiate Church of the Holy Cross and the Mother of Him who hung thereon, Crediton, Devon during the mid 17th Century. My first attempt at this sort of thing! I have to confess to adding the rays in photoshop! I thought it may add a certain je ne sais quoi! Nikon D40 18-55mm

The Collegiate Church of the Holy Cross and the Mother of Him who hung thereon, Crediton, Devon
by SquealiaThe rear view of Collegiate Church of the Holy Cross and the Mother of Him who hung thereon, Crediton, Devon It’s actually quite hard fitting this church into any shot! It’s too big! This is a portion of the front of the church, I took this last week, but wasn’t really happ about how it turned out. A view down the nave, into the tower, chancel and lady chapel. South choir aisle.

Nikon D40 18-55mm An Autumnal shot taken of the River Teign, Devon, within the Castle Drogo estate, Dartmoor National Park. Taken today 22nd October, the first day of half term and my daughter wanted to do this 6 mile walk!

Well this is another shot I tried the new Canon EOS 500d out on! Ok I have taken this gate before, but this time it was a 3 shot AEB, then hand blended in PSP as the image looked rubbish when hdr’d with the 3 shots! I must be doing something wrong with the software I guess! The main issue was that dispite being three rapid fired captures (tripod used), the smaller branches were moving and looked grim in the HDR images I tried in Photmatix and whatever the other I use is! Plus I couldn’t get the colour or anything else right! Hence the handblending for the past 90 minutes!

I quite liked the timber pillars on this cottage’s porch and the old lamp outside. Now having checked with all the guide markers in PSP this image is straight! It is the lamp that is wonky! The crossroads at Coleford, Devon. Canon EOS 500D
