Alexander Mcqueen - 2001 for Voss
In McQueen’s Words
“My friend George and I were walking on the beach in Norfolk, and there were thousands of [razor-clam] shells. They were so beautiful,
I thought I had to do something with them. So, we decided to make [a dress] out of them. . . . The shells had outlived their usefulness
on the beach, so we put them to another use on a dress. Then Erin [O’Conner] came out and trashed the dress, so their usefulness
was over once again. Kind of like fashion, really.”

Alexander McQueen - Savage Beauty

Can you just see the flash of red as the Redstart flew along the hedge line.
A whisper of Goldcrests flew along the track
dinking about in the sycamores overhead.

It was in here first thing yesterday morning.
Not to be seen though.
Responded well to a recording
but
I forgot to switch my microphone
on.
Fleeting glimpses in the sycamore
and gorse later in the morning.
First thing this morning it was in the bramble and willow herb
just here.
Beautiful

The Wheatear liked this area this mronig.
Perching on the pole tops and eyeing the flies.
Dashing off, up and around - putting on a superb display.
A little bit of preening.
Desert Wheatear (Oenanthe deserti)
Managed to get a little bit closer today hence the number of photos.
he just wouldn't trun and look at us all standing on the shingle. He just focussed on the flies.

The soft high peep of Goldcrests
as they flit through the sycamore leaves
delicately picking here and there.
A skylark practicing for next spring.
An explosion of Redwing freshly arrived from
Norway as they leave the berries behind.
Soft threads glinting in the sunshine from the
myriad of gossamer trails.

on the ivy.

Add insult to injury 48% of the UK population are now being demonised by
the
Daily Mail
(Daily Mail 12/10/16)
In the original vote to join the EU there was a clear majority to join
67.23 % to 32.77%
on a
64.62% turnout
But notice the level of demonisation.
