A Story about Stories– Smuggler’s Notch - Linda Knight Seccaspina

1890 A Story about Stories– Smuggler’s Notch – Linda Knight Seccaspina Looking out my window at the Ontario Thanksgiving landscape I long to be back in the Eastern Townships and be young again. As a child my favourite Autumn drive was across the Vermont Border between Mount Mansfield and Stowe to Smuggler’s Notch. It seemed each time we drove down there, even as an adult, it was showery, and…

MWW Artwork of the Day (2/28/22) Janus la Cour (Danish, 1837–1909) A Showery Landscape. Kalvø Vig, Jutland (1883) Oil on canvas, 124 x 192.5 cm. Statens Museum for Kunst, Copenhagen

Technically, La Cour was probably one of the best painters of his generation.  Between 1857 and 1864 he attended the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen and for part of this period lived with the great Danish landscape painter P.C. Skovgaard (1817-1875). Despite the age gap, the two men remained lifelong friends, and Skovgaard introduced La Cour to the intricacies of landscape art. Always less of a romanticist than his mentor sometimes tended to be, La Cour found endless fascination in nature, with its subtle shifts of mood and emotion, but stopped short of idealizing it.

16/05/21-Spotted Flycatcher and more at Millyford Bridge in the New Forest, foals on the way back and garden birds 

I took the first two pictures in this photoset of young Starlings out the back today it was great to see them again. We had another day which involved the New Forest today and it was great to see some more oxeye daisies in the forest on the way to Millyford Bridge where we walked. On another showery afternoon including one very heavy one towards the end of the walk where the sun did make brief appearances it’s worth saying, it was a perfect place to walk under the trees in the rain but also because it was a nice watery spot. It was very interesting to feel and see the ground underneath quite muddy and one path side ditch filled up as if it was a river. The stream that we walked along was also notably full today after the recent rain. It made me appreciate a great New Forest landscape which I don’t think this southern and mostly flat national park gets enough credit for as water rushed along this stream. It was great to see and hear this from the high banks and looked very beautiful with some fallen tree branches creating some gushing waterfalls. A lovely habitat to take in I always find this quite delicious to take in. It was especially so with as I enjoyed on the way back home too some really delicious light green leaves. I took the third, fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth pictures in this photoset of views here today and the fourth of Missy our dog enjoying a little swim. 

The landscape was also adorned by some lovely bluebells in this precious woodland creating a carpet of them which I have enjoyed so much this year the eighth picture I took today in this photoset shows this and spurge as well as some little white flowers too which it was nice to see.

Being here for the classic wet dog walk knowing it could rain quite hard and we may be just walking and not really looking for much wildlife it turned into an unexpected brilliant walk for birdwatching. This was headlined by us spotting an interesting bird flitting beside the river and I so happy to see in the binoculars it was a bird I find very delicious to see always and do always love seeing the gorgeous shades of grey of the Spotted Flycatcher. It was so stunning to see it and we saw a few flying over the river and in the trees. It was such a wonderful sight of a real richly beautiful summer migrant I always enjoy. It was the third year running I’d seen my first of the year in either May or June whereas before I would normally see them in late August or September as they came through here on outward migration. But this was by some way my earliest ever sighting of one in a year as the last two years was both June sightings which was interesting.

Just like Whinchat around a month ago at Portland this represented a bird we have been more used to seeing in the late summer or autumn on migration that we have in the spring which means we don’t have to worry about trying to see these two birds as much which are always targets when we reach they time of year it would be lovely to see more of them obviously at that time if we can. They are key targets around that time. As my ninth bird year tick of a very successful month again already, it was brilliant getting a bird year tick each day this weekend two quite similar really after the Lesser Whitethroat of Martin Down yesterday with how many species I have seen lately to reduce targets and changeable weather, it takes my bird year list to a pleasing for me 155 now.

I saw some other great birds at Millyford Bridge, a strong for the area bright Grey Wagtail going along the stream, Robin, Blackbird, Chaffinch, Great Tit and I heard a very beautiful Song Thrush providing a lovely soothing soundtrack to the day with the flowing water.

We called into the area by Stoney Cross on the way back where my Mum had seen some New Forest pony foals last week and I was thrilled to see two foals with adults which I took the final two pictures in this photoset of with one feeding in the last picture. We got some smashing views of them sticking closely to the adults. They did look so nicely dark and very beautiful and characteristic, and of course very cute. They are my first foals of the year it’s always a very key moment in the year in the forest and a nice time to really appreciate the ponies which are so key to the forest. I also noticed some nice violets and yellow flowers here today. A special time out to end another brilliant weekend for me. At home tonight I enjoyed seeing Goldfinches and Blue Tit alongside adult and young Starlings feeding on the balcony which was great to see on a nice relaxing evening tonight where I enjoyed some fantastic natural history TV. I took in a little bit of nice sky too which I tweeted pictures of as showers still moved through with some brightness at times. I hope you all have a great and safe week.

01 July

A breezy and showery start to July, but also some lovely blue sky and sunshine interspersed. Just before 0900hr Clare made a call to Bronglais hospital in order to book an appointment. In doing so this has tidied up a little of the ambiguity of the trip. Her appointment is on 18 July. Our crossing to France can now be confirmed a few days after that. That means we have just under 3 weeks left in north UK. Without the pressure of any southbound urgency we lay in bed and listened to a chapter of Eragon, fabulously narrated by Clare. We did eventually get up, dressed, converted and breakfasted. Then we drove back to the Hercules carpark where we knew there was a bin (it's pretty traumatic driving any distance with our collective toilet waste sitting in bags in the back!) Loch Maddy was to be our first destination, though we had no agenda. At the end of the road; a ferry terminal, we turned around and drove back through the town. A museum and art gallery took our fancy. The museum held a collection of Uist rocks with some description of Hebridean geology. Much of the description was beyond us but it went a long way to helping Jay and Clare describe plate movements, subduction zones, sedimentary, metamorphic and igneous rock formation. Nia and Cian were absorbed by the displays. Runrig had a collection of photos and memorabilia (they're a Scotish rock band - we didn't know who they were before.) The price labels on the art pieces in the galleries impressed us way more than the works themselves (except for a skull covered in keel worm and fish bones - Cian liked that one). Nia said she could do better with her arms tied behind her back! Perhaps we are clearly demonstrating that we are not the best art critics! Jay and Cian found a darkened room with a film showing, they were the only two in there. The film was patched together from old sound and video recordings, some of natural sounds, some spoken word telling of myths and strange happenings. A dead crow swinging off barbed wire was a highlight! Soothsaying featured highly; lights, cats and horses all telling of foreboding future events. It was pretty creepy! By the time Jay and Cian emerged the girls were long gone. A note on the windscreen addressed to 'James' foretold of foreboding events in his immediate future! A phone call averted disaster, and the girls agreed to include us in their lunch procurement. A repatriated family ate quiche in the van and listened to a hearty rendition of 'Loch Lomond' performed by Runrig (we tried another of their tracks but it was a bit wet by comparison!) In the boys absence Nia and Clare had found another art installation from yesterday's trail - a fish. Jay and Cian were given a tour. It was about 3 metres long and decorated with smooth quartz and gneiss (our new knowledge of rock) pebbles. Just round the corner was another installation, this just looked like a dome decorated with broken glass fragments. In our little book was the description of a camera obscurer made of stone. The outline route said that there was once a suspension bridge giving access but that the bridge had been condemned and gated. When we asked the museum curator for more details she said we would be using the bridge at our own risk, but that the gate had been cut open! Jay was sold. We followed the instructions on foot for about 20 minutes before the bridge came into sight. It was considerably more rusty the we had expected and some of the suspended steel rods had rotted through completely. We braved it. It remained standing and we survived. The approach to obscurer brought into view a trio of people all sporting either huge lens cameras or small telescopes. It took us a while to spot the otter in the water. Then it disappeared. We took the opportunity to check out 'Hut of the Shadows'. The stone building has a spiral passageway. The central column had an image of the outside landscape projected upon it from a small lens and mirrored aperture in the outer wall. It worked really well as long as one's eyes became accustomed to the dim light. Outside the otter was back; it had gone ashore onto the small island and was having itself a wash. It was easily visible though our binoculars, but one of the trio offered us his telescope to view through. This was amazing! We took it in turns to watch the otter go about his business until he got startled by a car door shutting and made a break for the sea. The art was good this time, but way outclassed by nature! We scared ourselves on the bridge again, but survived. Then to the van & a quick refuel. Consulting the map we decided to head to the northern most part of Uist in order to complete a walk in the morning. We still need to check out the north west but will save that for a day or so before head to Berneray. The car park we spotted had another van in it when we arrived (we're not used to sharing our bedroom!) There was plenty of space though and we had picnic tables as a bonus. The sun came out briefly before we went into the van. It was still early but we all needed an early night, after a couple of Eragon chapters we slept.

Vanished

Moist, bright, and green, the landscape laughs around. Full swell the woods; their every music wakes, Mix’d in wild concert, with the warbling brooks Increased, the distant bleatings of the hills, And hollow lows responsive from the vales, Whence, blending all, the sweeten’d zephyr springs. Meantime, refracted from yon eastern cloud, Bestriding earth, the grand ethereal bow Shoots up immense; and every hue unfolds, In fair proportion running from the red To where the violet fades into the sky. Here, awful Newton, the dissolving clouds Form, fronting on the sun, thy showery prism; And to the sage-instructed eye unfold The various twine of light, by thee disclosed From the white mingling maze. Not so the boy; He wondering views the bright enchantment bend, Delightful, o’er the radiant fields, and runs To catch the falling glory; but amazed Beholds th’ amusive arch before him fly, Then vanish quite away.

May 11-12 Divertissement de week-end

Saturday morning market in Place Carnot was crowded despite the windy, showery weather. Everyone was loaded with bags or trolleys full of produce. I met Luc in the market, Dominique told us shopping is his job - she hates it - I don’t know why, it’s a pleasure just seeing all the fresh fruit and veg, olives, cheese, cured meat, yoghurt, oysters, honey, bread, croissants and more. Luc said the market was looking better with Spring produce coming into it, after the sparseness of winter. He told me the market for fresh meat, poultry and seafood was over at Les Halles, I asked how to get there and he said he’d take me - all in French.

Les Halles are confronting if you’re used to seeing meat on a polystyrene tray covered in plastic. Some of the poultry still had head and legs attached, the rabbits were completely skinned but still had their eyes in. I spent ages looking at everything and bought a slice of paté for lunch.

I bought a ticket for The Harlem Swing Show at Jean Alary Theatre on Saturday night. I’d anticipated black Americans from New York but it was an orchestra of 7 French guys; the piano player was the director. There were 2 couples doing every kind of dance from the 20s to the 50s - very entertaining. The fantastic singer was Katrin Merili-Poom. The audience emphatically demanded an encore and got Get Your Kicks on Route 66 for half an hour - music, song dance. Even after that the audience was yelling, whistling, clapping for more.

Sunday morning I rang our friends, Tony & Di who live in France. It was a really nice catch-up. We’ll see them later in June - they’re planning some interesting things to do when we get there.

Sunday afternoon I went on a barge down the Canal du Midi in the direction of Toulouse. It was a 12 km round trip, going through 2 locks - I’ve only seen locks working from the bank and it was different being on board, going up and down. The first rise was 2 metres and the second 4 metres. It was cold and windy most of the time but I’ve learnt to rug-up, and the sun came out quite a bit. Outside of town, the landscape was covered in vineyards - grapes seem to be a monoculture in Languedoc, it has the biggest acreage under vines in the whole of France.

Rain — Observations: Lest I Forget

Rain — Observations: Lest I��Forget

Part of the spring collection

May has greeted us with rain

Not that we were left high or dry

Before this, but isn’t April the

Showery month? The one that

Lets May flowers perk up through

The winter-dry soil to brighten

The landscape and bring us

Sprays of color and smiles

Of hopes happily fulfilled
