Just found out today us #internationaldayofhappiness Certainly isn't limited to just one day a year for me You can tell from my daily photos I am mos(s)tly happy all the time Always trying to spread the cheer

I shouldn't get in trouble posting this, I have been told many times that you cant have enough #springrobin photos (or even winter ones) So here you go, hope you lile this one too #inspiringnature #wildlife #naturephotography #MentalHealthMatters

Day 1359 of #IansDailyPhotoChallenge and yesterday you had calm reflections, it was the turn of the power of water today Mesmerising watching it all tumble over the edge though 🤗 #inspiringnature #wildlife #naturephotography #MentalHealthMatters #365DaysWild PS Happy spring equinox everyone 🎉🎉

One of those days where I wasn’t looking for anything in particular. Plenty of movement along the river, including a dipper carrying nesting material into a cave… one best left undisturbed. And then, as always, a robin appeared at just the right time. The less you look for, the more you see.

Day 1358 of #IansDailyPhotoChallenge and a lovely moment of calm along the rushing waters of Dovedale today Does anyone else just stand and watch river reflections when you see them then? 🤗❤️🏞🪞 #inspiringnature #wildlife #naturephotography #MentalHealthMatters #365DaysWild

I didn't use these for my photo of the day, but lovely to see the butterflies back out again now Spring is most definitely pretty much here now 🦋🦋🤗 #inspiringnature #wildlife #naturephotography #MentalHealthMatters

Day 1357 of #IansDailyPhotoChallenge and took ourselves to see Lud's Church today Never get bored of visiting such an amazing place as this 🤗😲 #inspiringnature #wildlife #naturephotography #MentalHealthMatters #365DaysWild

Day 1356 of #IansDailyPhotoChallenge and I 'spi der' 'sign' for good luck, a few days after my horse(shoe) chestnut photo! Just filling the world wide 'web' with some fun AND 1 or 2 dad jokes.......🕷🐴 👞🕸😂🤦‍♂️ #inspiringnature #wildlife #naturephotography #MentalHealthMatters #365DaysWild

Day 1355 of #IansDailyPhotoChallenge and a trip to The Peak District is never complete until you have seen a dipper This one certainly filled that brief! ❤️🤗 #inspiringnature #wildlife #naturephotography #MentalHealthMatters #365DaysWild

Day 1354 of #IansDailyPhotoChallenge and a day spent walking in The Peak District Limestone scenery, riverside walks and lovely company. What a perfect day #inspiringnature #wildlife #naturephotography #MentalHealthMatters #365DaysWild

I very nearly used this photo for today as well Thought I would share it with you lot, as I know you all love a #springrobin 🤗

Day 1353 of #IansDailyPhotoChallenge and we were greeted at the end of our walk, by this very lovely wonkey donkey, his friend was too camera shy to join us What an amazing way to finish the day 🤗🫏❤️ #inspiringnature #wildlife #naturephotography #MentalHealthMatters #365DaysWild

Day 1352 of #IansDailyPhotoChallenge and nothing shouts hello spring, quite like a horse chestnut bursting in to leaf 🤗😲🌿 #inspiringnature #wildlife #naturephotography #MentalHealthMatters #365DaysWild

Day 1351 of #IansDailyPhotoChallenge and a bit late but winter aconites I planted in our garden in the autumn Just a small wildflower patch, but just to show we can all create something for wildlife 🤗 #inspiringnature #wildlife #naturephotography #MentalHealthMatters #365DaysWild

Day 1350 of #IansDailyPhotoChallenge and I shared white ones the other day, but how about this, for a stunner of a violet for today then? In memory of a much loved Aunt who passed away today 💔 😥 #inspiringnature #wildlife #naturephotography #MentalHealthMatters #365DaysWild

Day 1348 of #IansDailyPhotoChallenge and would you be interested in a mid construction long tailed tits nest I spotted in Clumber Park NT this morning? 🤗❤️🪺 😲 #inspiringnature #wildlife #naturephotography #MentalHealthMatters #365DaysWild

Fresh from a live BBC Radio interview across the East Midlands 📻 I’ve taken a photo of nature every day for 1300+ consecutive days, which has grown into books for charity and a global mindful project. Does anyone know podcasts looking for guests? I’d love to share the story 🌿

Day 1347 of #IansDailyPhotoChallenge and some will try and say these are male cones developing on a Lawson's Cypress, BUT it is in fact where all baby 🐞🐞🐞 come from 🤗 #inspiringnature #wildlife #naturephotography #MentalHealthMatters #365DaysWild

What do camellias, snake’s head fritillaries, fungi and a stag have in common? They’ve all appeared in March during my daily photo challenge. Plus a bud that looks like it’s about to shout “Feed me”. New blog 👇 iansdailynaturephoto.co.uk/2026/03/07/m...

Day 1346 of #IansDailyPhotoChallenge and 🎶"On the 7th day of March, my garden gave to me, a partridge near our plum tree"🎶 AND good luck removing that 👂 🪱 🤣🤣 #inspiringnature #wildlife #naturephotography #MentalHealthMatters #365DaysWild
