Down the woods

It's not all about finding firewood:

 

Occasionally we find something much more interesting:

A Red-tailed Hawk.

There's a Hobbit hiding away in this clickable pic. Kudos if you can find her:

 

Said Hobbit emerged to take this impressive pic:

 

Clearly her phone's camera is much better than mine!

Quick Pic – 10th-13th August 2022 (Perseid meteors)

Here's a rough-and-ready shot of one of the Perseids caught on camera during the current shower.

 

 

Wading through deeper treacle

Turns out that the figure in the pic above was woefully inaccurate - at last check I'd fixed over 500 more links, but the true total of broken image links is now 2197.

While I'm fixing stuff I'm also doing some pruning and pollarding, so some of the less-interesting posts have been consigned to the bin.

You never know, I might even get everything up & running before another plug-in "upgrade" screws it up again.

Top priority is the fixing of all posts in the Lakes Escapes category (be advised that clicking that link will bring up many pics, so it will take a while to load). I may well be stuck here for the foreseeable, but I'll always want to be back in Wainwright territory, wading through snow rather than treacle:

 

 

Wading through treacle

There have been complaints about the broken images on this blog. The breakages were caused when a major WordPress update months ago stopped one of the image-processing plug-ins working properly.

Chill out, people. I'm doing my best, but there's no quick solution to this problem - each fix has to be a manual edit.

When I started fixing, the Broken Link Checker had found over 2400, so I'm over halfway there.
