The Gale, the Potter and the Waxwings

Well the winds that were promised have come and gone. Which is a shame as the glorious beech woods near Great Bedwyn were an absolute picture when I drove through them for the Saturday papers. So many a skeletal tree has been left this morning bare against a blue autumnal sky.

But all is not lost. As I walked in today, this Andy Goldsworthy-esk piece of natural artwork had developed in one of the rainwater ponds adjacent to the Catholic Cathedral in Bristol. I love it and yet again nature surprises me in the most unexpected places.

Speaking of unexpected things, a fellow blogger Sian, has posted on her blog "Life on a Small Island" a link to another blog where waxwings spent some time in the garden and the resulting photographs are absolutely stunning. See the photos here....!

And finally, my first programme in the current run of Radio 4's Living Worlds went out yesterday - there is still time to listen to it on the BBC i-Player. Click the link here.
