Russell's Gate into Fields of Gold

Coombe Country Park, Coventry.

Do you have a special place that 

reminds you of someone or something special?  

This 'gate', which opens onto a golden field at Coombe Country Park, 

is one of those special places for my husband.
He calls it, 'Russell's Gate into Fields of Gold'.

Today is Russell's birthday.

Hello all.  

This photograph was taken on a country lane not far from Coventry City Centre. 

Today we are all excited to see if England can beat Spain and win the 
UEFA European Championship 2024!

Take care all and have a good day!

View of Coventry City Centre from about 6 miles away (I'm guessing).  

Photo was taken from a spot on a hill just outside Wolston Village.  

Please note the two of three Spires shown here:   

Coventry Cathedral (left) & Holy Trinity Church (right).

Christchurch is out of view.

Enjoy this view of a country road heading off to a local farm,
not far from the City of Coventry.

It's been a long time since I posted something here. 

All is well with us for the most part, and 

I'm hoping the same applies to all of you.  

Have a good day!

St Bartholomew's Church (and Benchmark)

 Binley, Coventry

Easter Sunday Afternoon

Follow this path to enter the church on your left.

Just to the right of the entrance (behind a camelia bush) level with the step

you will find a chiselled horizontal mark known as a survey benchmark and bolt.

This is an elevation reference point.  I love finding them.

Click on the link and you'll see a few more in and around Coventry HERE.

These Sequoia trees are so big that I just couldn't fit them into the frame of my camera.

 Good morning all.  

This photo brings to mind a line from

my homeland anthem, The Star-Spangled Banner.
