Through Field and Paddock

The whole concept of a public right-of-way seems to boggle the mind of most Americans. Although this would never work in the US, public footpaths and bridle-ways work remarkably well in England. Walkers tend to be very respectful of the land owner’s wishes and usually keep to the path. This photograph is from a section Through Field and Paddock

Photographs from our Honeymoon

Slowly, I’m getting around to editing the photographs we took while on our Honeymoon in the Cotswolds. Of the 250 photographs we made during our 2 week exploration of the English countryside (and our afternoon in London), I only really expect to post between 20 and 30 photographs. I’m not certain these photographs do the Photographs from our Honeymoon

English Countryside Snapshot

Sheep rule the English countryside. Really. Although you’ll find cows and horses, sheep seem to be the dominant form of life in the Cotswolds. Of course, this makes sense considering that the Cotswolds were the center of the English wool industry. But still. Just consider, where there are sheep there’s sheep shit.

Witch Way the Wind Blows

Anna captured this bewitching weather vane on the top of a cottage in the Slaughters. The entire area is rife with such “old world” touches. Except there, it isn’t old. That cottage might be one of the newest in town: built in the 1700s.

Real Measure

There’s an interesting article on John Gruber’s web site entitled Broken Windows. John makes an excellent case that the best way to compare Windows and Macintosh is not with a new computer, but with a computer that has seen at least six months of use: While we’re conceding for the sake of argument, let’s address Real Measure

Home Again, Home Again

Although I haven’t yet updated the outgoing message on my voice mail, we returned from England Tuesday afternoon. Because of the numerous legs in our journey, we didn’t actually walk through our front door until 12:30 AM Wednesday morning — eight hours after our plane landed. I’ll be uploading the best of our photographs in Home Again, Home Again
