Meeting of Blogger friends - (Christopher (Gailsman) and I (imac) + our D/Ws Gail and Julie met on Monday lunch time at the Gap Inn on the A52 6 miles from Grantham, we all had the Carvery - Christopher had veggie.- Now for a man who goes out trying all the Ales under the Sun - sat and drank Lemon and Lime.
Must be fair to the ol boy tho - he was driving.
We ended up at the Lion Gates at Belton House to see if we could capture the Deer-Rutting - Deer was there - but no rutting,lol.
The light was failing - so the pics are not as good as they could be.
Top pic is the entrance from the Lions Gate - looking down to Belton House about 1 mile away.
In the top 2 pics - you can see the Big Daddy with his antlers, he's black in colour
These 3 were having a rest and didnt mind us taking their pics.
Little Boy Blue(Christopher) and Gail - Gails photographing the Deer - Christopher photographing the trees
Not too sure if this is the Gate Keepers House but it sure looks a neat place as the sheep like to parade around it.
We all finished up photographing the Tall trees , and julie picked up a little piece of bark for dyeing with for her material.
Finely we had to leave - as it was getting dark and Christopher wanted to go home - he even turned down some ginger cake and custard, mmmmm, you missed a real treat my friend.
Here's Chrisotpher and Gail heading home.
Thanks to Christopher and Gail for a very nice afternoon and meeting.(and for taking some stick)(no broom on the end)lol.
It's always neat to get together with other bloggers. I enjoyed your pictures of the deer, even if there was no rutting. That Gate Keepers how's looks very impressive.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you had a lot of things to photograph. Boy you would be hard pressed to find anything like that around here.
ReplyDeletewonderful pictures as always..
ReplyDeleteWonderful times with blogging friends!! I'm so glad that you all had such a nice outing.
ReplyDeleteI love the photo of the entrance from a mile away of the Lions Gate...
Great photos (also loving the photo of the trees....) You live in a beautiful area, Stewart...
Nice deer, but the little house is something you can make a great thing of.
ReplyDeleteGreetings,
Filip
Oh you naughty man, taking some sneaky shots again!
ReplyDeleteYes, it was good to meet up again. We must do it again very soon.
Enjoyed your deer series, Stewart - what a lovely place that gatekeeper's house ! Spent some time catching up on your posts - very nice house (whose is it ?) on your Snape Maltings post. And of course, your 'glow worm' ! ;-)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your time a-----way !
oo..ooh that looks like fun.
ReplyDeleteNice bunch of shots here and at Snape Malting. Sometimes the animals just want to stop and watch the people or maybe get a handout.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun to meet up with blogging friends. Lovely pictures too, all very enjoyable.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a fabulous day out. Your photos are breathtaking.
ReplyDeleteDeer are graceful animals, aren't they?
ReplyDeleteI've never seen so many myself...
God bless you!
