I couldn't resist stepping to see what sort of #sunsetphotography the #Saharandust would produce. It was still half an hour before low tide, so my feet got a little wet, but I was delighted to see I wasn't the only one enjoying the spectacle. Thanks to whoever walked into shot! #PhotographyIsArt

Dreamy!

It's a common trope to portray the sun as a ball surrounded by rays of light, but I've never actually seen that in real life ... until yesterday. I took an early morning cycle ride to #Conwy Marina and just look at the sky! #photooftheday #NaturePhotography #WALES

I think we're all craving #spring now! So, here's a #photograph from last year. Seeing these daffodils thriving amongst the clumps of maram grass, it seemed like #nature was telling me something important ... about life, beauty, survival? Or maybe she was just putting on a show! #naturephotography

Your picture is beautiful, it's true, I live near the sea so I have seen pictures like that in the wild. But right now I don't have a home, doing actually a #stream right now, to fund it, also asking people to #donate ko-fi.com/thefolklarian there's wallpapers and stickers, based on my beautiful cat

Completely handmade picture replete with whimsy, mistakes and a pig bat creature. Best defence against AI slop.

Today's #PhotographyIsArt share was taken about half an hour before yesterday's image, looking inland instead of out, to sea. I can't decide if it's relaxing or a bit too infernal for comfort! Once again it's #Llandudno #LandscapeChallenge #landscapephotography

Today's #photograph isn't a great shot, but it does make me smile. I moved to the country three years ago, but I still can't get over the fact that this is what I see on my walk home! I interrupted this lady snacking. #Llandudno #goats #Wales

That's what I thought I was getting in this great collection, but he stays true to himself and uncovers the real #mystery" #weekend shorturl.at/YChcj

It appears that that I'm not only compelled to #photograph bus stops! Look at this #Victorian tram stop. No longer in use, but lovingly maintained by Friends of the West Shore in #Llandudno #Conwy It's like some wonderful Gothic spaceship. #photooftheday #PhotographyIsArt

Today's #photooftheday is one of those images that, when I look at it, it always conjures up the accompanying audio. This burly chap was cawing his heart out when I snapped him.He was so intent on his song that he let me get almost within touching distance. #birdphotography #photography

Today's photo was taken at the wonderful St. Tudno's on the #GreatOrme Just as I was standing there, thinking that this photo needed 'something extra', along came Mr. Jackdaw. Don't you just love it when nature cooperates! #photooftheday #NOIR #Gothic #birdphotography

Today's #photofrommyheart was taken 20+ years ago with my first digital camera. I saw this guy at #Purfleet, walking along the river path. I had to use max zoom to get the shot, so it's quite grainy. Added a cold filter later. Makes me think of Robert Frost's "many miles to go" #PhotographyIsArt
