Ripon Cathedral
The High Altar at Ripon Cathedral
We stopped at Ripon on the way home from camping at Bishop Monkton. The plan was to find a cafe for breakfast, but I couldn't resist spending a few minutes exploring the cathedral. :-)
The Library at Ripon Cathedral

This afternoon we visited Belton House near Grantham. While exploring the gardens I noticed a few red dragonflies hovering around the ponds, possibly Common Darters?

Dragonfly or Damselfly?
I went for a walk along the River Witham yesterday and spotted these. Does anyone know what species they are? :-)
