Time for a Breather
Farmers are working long hours to bring in the present harvest and then prepare the ground for the next crop. This tractor driver looked as though he was taking a well earned break:
I see that tractors still have CB aerials. Years ago I used to listen to them putting the world to rights. At least it relieves the loneliness and possible boredom of what must be a monotonous task.
That is quite some plough:
Nice to see the stubble ploughed in to rot down in the soil. Hard to remember the days when it was burned off and the village would be covered in sooty pieces when the wind blew in our direction. I must admit it was quite an amazing sight at night looking across to the higher ground and seeing many fields on fire. I'll never forget one terrifying time when I suddenly found myself driving through the choking smoke from a field fire and couldn't see the end of the car bonnet let alone the road or any possible obstructions.

Common Darter Dragonfly
Here is another dragonfly which seemed as though it liked to have its photo taken as it kept returning to the same planter even when I was very close:

Migrant Hawker?
Spotted down the lane on our afternoon walk:
I could only grab a quick photo with the pocket Nikon before it moved on.
The body pattern and size seems to me to suggest it was a Migrant Hawker.
Unusual though is the apparent change in colour, part brown and blue and part black and blue.

A Bit Worried About ....
Adrian, Adrian's Images. He sometimes takes a rest from blogging but unusual for him not to answer an email so I hope he is OK.
Glo, Porcelain Rose. Suddenly stopped blogging at the end of March. Unusual as she normally has an end of month pictorial blog. If anyone knows she is OK that would set my mind at rest. I seem to have mislaid her email address.
Going to try catching up on replies to comments here. For some unknown reason about a week ago Firefox suddenly refused to put in my proper profile when I write replies and they don't show. I tried logging out and back in to no avail but have found it works with Opera and probably Safari.
