Pink and White Cyclamen Flowers

When I was in Clevedon (Somerset, England) I saw these lovely flowering pink and white Cyclamen flowers in bloom right after a rain shower.  It was covered with little drops of rain all over it and they looked so fresh and charming!  Cyclamen is a species of perennial flowering plants in the family Primulaceae.  They grow from tubers and are valued for their flowers with 5 upswept petals and variably patterned leaves.

Angel Praying Statue

This is a charming old statue of a kneeling Guardian Angel on a grave in the St. Andrew's Church Cemetery in Clevedon, Somerset, England. This cemetery is up on a hilltop along the Bristol Channel and the cemetery is hit with lots of water and high winds causing the headstones and statues to have lots of wear and tear on them. It is situated on the Poet's Walk, as well, which generates lots of visitors. I wonder if this sweet Angel is watching over someone's dear child from the last century?

Arched North Door Entrance To Rosslyn Chape

This is a photo looking through the North door entrance into Rosslyn Chapel which resides in the little town of Roslin, Midlothian, Scotland. The chapel was founded by William Sinclair, 1st Earl of Caithness of the Scoto-Norman Sinclair family in the 15th century. It has been thought that the Knights Templars brought the Holy Grail here according to Dan Brown’s book The Da Vinci Code. I love how in this photo you see multiple layers of arches: the North door entrance (where the men would enter), the arched pillars inside the chapel and the South door entrance (where the women would enter the chapel).
