Sunlight

The quality of light is changing due to the position of the sun this time of year.

It gives you a different perspective on your surroundings.

For instance this presumably smooth wall is quite rough. 

The floodlight is creating a perspective view revealing those normally unseen details.

This change in the amount of sunlight is one thing I like about the changing seasons!

Woodpecker

This Great Spotted Woodpecker was visiting our barn.

Hopefully he was only searching for some insects.

A big hole in one of the oak beams would be a shame :-)

We have a birdfeeder with sunflower seeds and he likes those as well.

There are a lot of different types of woodpeckers.

Bricks

One of the reasons we bought this house is the brickwork.

The house itself is only 12 years old but because of these bricks it looks much older.

The reclaimed bricks and also the colour and the width of the grouting, works for us.

You can still see some pieces of straw left in the loam.......

Some layers of lime plaster.......

Some stones have traces of a fire.......

Sometimes you can even see some fingersprints left in the brick  :-)
