Bible On Lectern In St. Andrew's Church - Clevedon, England

I thought this was a charming interior view inside St. Andrew's Church looking towards the back with the Bible opened on the brass lectern to Luke 11:37.   St. Andrew's Church is where Lord Alfred Tennyson's best friend Arthur Hallam was buried. Tennyson wrote "In Memoriam A.H.H." about Arthur Hallam which is a very well know work of his. d St Andrew's is the oldest church in Clevedon and located along The Poet's Walk. Built in the Middle Ages on Saxon foundations it has been used as a place of Christian worship since Clevedon was a small fishing village and farming community.

The Altar Tomb Of John Kenn 1593

In the north wall of the chancel in St. Andrew's Church in Clevedon, England, under a plain pointed arch, is the altar tomb of John Ken of Clevedon who died 1593. Engraved on the top of the altar tomb reads "Here resteth the bodye of Joh Kenn, of Clyvedon, the sonne of Joh Kenn, of Kenn, esquire, who deceased the 12th day of Aprill, in the yeare of our Lord God MCCCCC. XC. III." His brother Christopher died the same year and was buried at Ken. Resting on top of his altar tomb is a prayer book and a hand made pottery golden brown pitcher.

Rusty Old Ball And Anchor

What an interesting looking rusty old ball and anchor that is covered in barnacle that was sitting on the beach in Labadee, Haiti in the Caribbean. Ah, the stories this anchor could tell if it could!

Artists from the Carousel Works company in Mansfield, Ohio, have created more than 25 new carousels around the country. They are hard at work re-creating six horses from the original Silver Beach carousel, originally done by master carver Charles Carmel in 1910. The Silver Beach Carousel will be their 30th new carousel creation which is now up and running. This is a photo of the fabulous carousel showing off the beautiful carving and painting to be enjoyed by everyone who visits.

St. Joseph Lighthouses And Sailboat

This was a beautiful view I spotted on Silver Beach looking out towards the St. Joseph Lighthouses with a sailboat sailing by on a lovely summer afternoon. These lighthouses are located on Lake Michigan.

Close Up Of St. Joseph Lighthouses

This is a view all the way out on the pier for a close up view of the two lighthouses in St. Joseph, Michigan. The St. Joe lighthouse that tourists and locals alike enjoy today was constructed at the end of a wooden pier extending out into lake Michigan in 1846. In 1907 and 1919 the city built the north and south piers that enabled boats easier access into the mouth of the St. Joe River. The lights on these piers are still operating today as one of the Great Lake’s last remaining pier range light systems. The catwalk, which was originally built for access to the lighthouse by the keepers during rough seas, is still accessed by walkers, runners and bikers today.

Bumble Bee On Milkweed Flowers

This charming bumble bee was busy collecting pollen from this lovely milkweed (Asclepias) flower that was growing along Silver Beach in St. Joseph, Michigan. Love the soft muted colors of the flower blossoms.
