Me, John and Jayne enjoying a picnic lunch at Fountains Abbey. Thank you Jayne for preparing the lunch and snacks, etc. It took several attempts to get this shot. Good enough, yes?

The ruins were extensive and I enjoyed walking around them imagining what it was like 600 years ago. John went off his own way and I'll be looking to see his take on the abbey, though I think he was more interested in some birds feeding their young. He had his Sigma 100-300 out. Maybe that was because I had his 12-24 lens. :) Thanks John, that lens came in handy.

After a few peaceful hours here, we returned to the farm and I tried milking a cow. See John's photo HERE. I also got to meet Rusty. Photos to come...

Edited Feb. 12, 2007: At last, most of the decent ones are up HERE.
