Rainbow

The sunshine broke through,
Rays of sun through the gloom,
A glisten in the drops of rain.
The light which falls illuminates,
Splits, refracts, and shines,
Red, orange, yellow, green,
Blue, indigo and violet.
An ephemeral beauty,
Imprinted on the minds eye,
But all too fleeting.
Gone too soon,
Dark clouds swirling,
Rain evaporating,
A memory of something special.

Hornets

Hornets are large insects which catch others - here is one which caught a bumblebee, and flew along with it before hanging by one leg from a branch to feed.

Hambrook Pack Bridge

Follow the footpath around the Great Western Brewery and across a field, and you arrive at a 17th century pack bridge crossing the brook. You can walk over it, and then follow the brook to the Frome Valley Walkway, or follow other footpaths. There are also a number of nature mats put out along the path for animal shelter. The local rabbits like them - they leave messages on top of a number of them! But under one a common shrew was found sheltering.
