The stream flows under the road and off towards North Scarle. This is the same little stream that I like to sit beside further back along its course. It's nice to encounter it at a different stage of its existence. .

Crystals!
.

I haven't really done much with these in recent years, they've mostly just sat in the dish looking pretty. A few of them were used instead of plain stones in an insect bath last year, but other than that, and the occasional cleansing, they've barely even been looked at. That is, until I decided to gift a few to a friend. Over the past week I've reacquainted myself with each of them. A lump of hematite has even made it's way into my Crone bag after I found myself still holding it an hour after the rest were back in the bowl. I hadn't even realised it was in my hand. I'm obviously in need of its grounding ability at the moment! Looking ahead, I'm determined not to neglect my crystals and to instead embrace the positive effects they can have on my life.

Woodland paths to explore, out and about on the back lanes.

The rockery bowls were in need of a little tlc. They'd been placed in a corner and then rarely given any attention at all - and it was starting to show. Grass was sprouting and lots of straggly roots were hanging over the edges of the bowls. Well, they're now looking much less neglected and have pride of place on the garden table.

The late afternoon light on the garden plant we like to call, Floof.

The beauty of Camomile flowers growing at the field's mouth.

The swathe of Camomile growing in the mouth of this field caught my eye and urged me to pull my car over to investigate further. Driving home along the back lanes of Lincolnshire is a wonderful experience.

I decided to take the back lanes when driving home from my brother's house yesterday. I couldn't resist stopping the car several times in order to snap pictures. Gates have always been a favourite subject for photographs, and even though I'd already taken a picture of the view beyond the gate, I just had to take one featuring the gate itself.
