St Mary's Abbey Ruins, York

The Splendid Ruins of St Mary's
The original building here was a Norman church whose foundation stone was laid by King William II in 1088. The ruins you see here today are mainly those of a rebuilding program which began around 1271, finishing in 1294. These ruins include a major part of the South Transept and West End. Smaller parts of the North Transept and East End are also still visible.

There's Geese at the end of the rainbow.

No pot of Gold at the end of the rainbow but there were some Geese :) If you look closely under the tree, you will see the secondary rainbow.
This was taken at Skipton on the way back home from York yesterday. After a beautiful morning we had a mixture of rain, hail and snow.

Ollie

He gave me a scare the other night. I found him on the bottom of his cage. He caught his foot and tired himself out trying to get on to his perch. Thankfully he's fine now.
