The rich pastures of the Lugg

Looking north along the line of a public footpath which passes to the right of the nearest oak. The beef cattle were very frisky this morning!

Conod's Garage (Leominster)

Established in 1933, this is also known as Baron's Cross Garage. This is a commercial vehicles sales and service company that specialises in road haulage and vehicle transportation.

New housing development (Leominster)

Built on the site of a garage, this ginormous town house is now completed as of the upload of this picture. This is placed on the corner of Ginhall Lane, Green Lane and Pierrepont Road. This is an interesting structure in my opinion, and the trees by it are nice.

Rainbow over Leominster

Here's one of my favourite rainbow pictures from this year, though I would like to see a rainbow end at Leominster Priory again (last and only saw it happen in April 2018).

The town of Leominster

Here is one of my first photographs from this year, taken from Broad Street car park. This was taken on the day where it briefly snowed in Leominster, the first time since 20th March 2018. This was taken using the Night Sight feature on my Google Pixel 4a smartphone. This is also my first uploaded Geograph photograph in the 'Seven million' section, which is great.

Willow and the town of Leominster

Here is my fifth cat Willow, and she's the latest cat we got since 7th August 2019 (the same day I went to Dymock, Gloucestershire; she was a kitten then). She's seen walking on my roof in the foreground, and beyond my garden is a Victorian house on Cranes Lane, and Leominster Priory can be seen in the background to the centre-right. My third cat Harmonie can be seen to the bottom-left, and she passed away from cancer on 2nd August 2021 (I now have four cats).

Stars above Leominster Priory

Here is Leominster Priory from my brother's window, taken with the Night Sight feature on my Google Pixel 4a smartphone. I've never seen the church windows this bright before, hence why I took this picture. I took this picture on the one year anniversary of me using my smartphone for photography, but I also made an appearance on a BBC News article by Magnus Bennett that day! Here is the link to it Link
