More photos... Bosworth Battle Field

Last day of freedom before going back to work tomorrow. I took myself off early with camera to Bosworth Battle Field (it's about a 15 minute drive from where we live) and had a lovely time walking around that beautiful place, with the sun shining, the sky a brilliant blue with big white clouds, and a freezing cold wind blowing the battlefield flags about like things possessed. Every time I go there I think I must go more often... 

The Swan Dive course is this week concentrating on textures so I took the opportunity to go a bit mad with some on a selection of today's images.

Blossom with texture
Blossom...

Flag 2
Flag and a bit of sun...

Crown with texture
That quotation isn't from Richard III (or Dick 3 as we like to call him),
but it fit the image too well not to use it.
 Virtual gold star to anyone who knows which play it's from...

Path 2 with texture
... and a bit of Robert Frost too

    Dick 3. Too funny! :D I love walking in old battlefields and cemeteries with the ghosts. This is a lovely place and your photos are getting even more interesting and beautiful than before.

    Nothing like a walk in the woods - with a crown on the head!

    RuneE - Correct! Gold start on its virtual way to Norway :O) To those of a geeky disposition it's Henry IV, Part 2, Act 3, Scene 1.

I get many more views on my posts than comments, so please if you drop by, stop and say hello. Otherwise I'll start getting paranoid and neurotic, and worry that nobody likes me... sniff sniff...
