St.Georges memories

St. Georges Day was five days ago, the Twenty-third and was always marked at my Junior School the subject of School Assemblies and the flag being put up on our flag pole apart from what my friends in the Cubs did there as he's the Patron Saint of Scouting.

Often as shown here, the story of st.George would be retold through a play boys would take part in.

Boys at play

Although this picture goes back a good number of years, to me it is a well observed and captured study in boys play, the kind I grew up with with structures in the park you climbed over.
Play is a social activity and here we see that interaction through body language such as the eye contact and the closeness of each others hands signifying the bond between them.
Their uniform is similar to that I remember wearing and have never really forgotten.

The magnificence of Trees

While I was away a couple of months back I saw this lovely specimen of a tree and although lacking my usual Minolta kit, took this picture using a digital compact camera.
