What do I have for you today from Tourettes world? Well, I've got hairy footed flower bees as they feed with ferocious energy. Focus is a bit soft as they barely stop moving. #nature #wildflowers #bees #photography

A bit more pixel 10a astrophotography of the coma Berenices and virgo area The coma star cluster Melotte 111 is top centre, a fine binocular target #astronomy #astrophotography #stars #photography

Honeybee feeding off mahonia near the library. It's another lovely spring day, pity about the sciatica. Send me to the glue factory now! #nature #bees #wildflowers #photography

First butterfly photo of the year! Caught this gorgeous peacock butterfly in the library nature reserve today. It kept being bothered by hoverflies but it still returned to the blossom. #nature #wildflowers #butterfly #photography

Pretty colours in The Friary Gardens #nature #writing #photography #wildflowers creamcrackerednature.blogspot.com/2026/03/blue...

This is the first photo I've taken in astrophotography mode on my pixel 10a. It's of Gemini, never thought a phone would pick up so many stars #nature #astronomy #astrophotography #gemini #pixel10a

Blue skies and warming sun has brought honeybees to the campus gorse bush. Three buzzards are soaring overhead too. Spring has returned #nature #wildflowers #bees #photography

The glory of the snows in friary gardens is now past its best, but this little clump was still looking lovely #nature #wildflowers #photography

Would you find Totoro in a place like this? The beautiful blossom arch at sconce park. #nature #wildflowers #blossom #spring #totoro

First mining bee of the year! A lovely spring day in the sun brought this yellow legged mining bee to the cherry plum blossom in sconce park. #nature #wildflowers #bee #blossom #photography

Did a bumblebee rescue on this very tired buff tailed bumblebee queen. Picked her up and took her to some mahonia. Hope she can recover. #nature #wildflowers #photography #bumblebee

Tipsy. Here's the big dipper #nature #astronomy #photography

Found a hyacinth in bloom in the little memorial garden we have at work #nature #wildflowers #photography

I never knew Anton Petrov knew me so well, and so intimately #astronomy #uranus

Throw back to 2019 when the cemetery crocuses were amazing. Not been good for them this year. #nature #wildflowers #photography

Dogwood shoots are so incredibly vivid! #nature #wildflowers #photography

Pixel 10a takes a nice photo of Orion, seems a bit more light sensitive than 6a #nature #astronomy #orion #photography #astrophotography

A little bit of gardening success #nature #flowers #crocus #gardening #writing #photography creamcrackerednature.blogspot.com/2026/03/my-p...

Daffodils and glory of the snows in friary gardens #nature #photography #wildflowers

Blossom brings joy, as ever #nature #writing #blossom #wildflowers #photography creamcrackerednature.blogspot.com/2026/03/the-...

Not many pollinators about today on this dull day, although it is milder than yesterday #nature #wildflowers #ladybird #photography

Found this peculiar little plant growing on a wall on a dull damp day. Common whitlowgrass #nature #wildflowers #photography

Beautiful carpets of daffodil and squill in the friary gardens today #nature #wildflowers #photography

Forgot I'd taken this night shot of glory of the snows. It was lit by my head torch while on a run #nature #wildflowers #running #photography

Exploring the nature of Grantham #nature #writing #photography #bees #bumblebees #photography #wildflowers creamcrackerednature.blogspot.com/2026/03/expl...

Wow! A visit to two public parks in Grantham along a fast flowing river Witham. First butterfly of the year, great tits, robin and wrens singing loudly, and my first honey bees of the year! #nature #bees #photography #wildflowers

Blossom decided to emerge today! This is cherry plum blossom at sconce park. #nature #wildflowers #photography

Read my post on the fall out of last nights BAFTA's here. This is an opportunity to increase understanding of oppositional tics and acknowledge the complex realities and impacts of the condition: www.touretteshero.com/safe/2026/02...

Don't look at twitter Simon. Or Facebook #tourettes

It's very telling that the seeming first historical mention of someone with Tourettes was in the 15th century manual "Hammer of the Witches". Yep. Back then they used to burn us #Tourettes

From #tourettes back to nature! Found my first honey bee of the year on the campus gorse bush! #nature #wildflowers #photography #bees

Thrilled that Robert Aramayo won the Bafta for "I Swear". The pig ignorance displayed to the film's inspiration John Davidson for his vocal tics at the ceremony disgusts me to punching level. Apparently John should have not been there, or placed in a soundproof box. Like, fuck you. #tourettes

Hello Ms Bumblebee! #nature #writing #photography #wildflowers #springwatch creamcrackerednature.blogspot.com/2026/02/and-...

Let's see who likes spring wildflowers. Lovely common speedwell, lesser celandine and goat willow catkins #nature #wildflowers #photography

First bumblebees of the year spotted! When I saw the sun out, I knew they would be. Couple of queen buff tailed bumblebees, slightly soft shots alas. #nature #wildflowers #photography #bumblebees

Hunting for bees today! #Nature #writing #photography #bees #wildflowers creamcrackerednature.blogspot.com/2026/02/hone...

The tree had honeybees milling around it in numbers. The crocuses, not a single customer. So I'm still waiting for my first bee shot of the year. #nature #wildflowers #crocus #photography

Late night tennkinute sketch of crocus and glory of the snows. Oil pastels. #nature #wildflowers #sketching #art

Running shot from the cold night 6km slog. I have cricket bowling in my legs now. #running

Glory of the snows in friary gardens #nature #wildflowers #photography

Aconites are past their best now, but still pretty #nature #wildflowers #photography

Yesterday, like my Tourettes stuff, was brief flashes of blue sky being sniffed out by heavy showers sweeping through. If that makes any sense at all #nature #photography #sky #tourettes

Recent photography compilation, with some of my nature writing thrown in. Feel free to follow the blog! #nature #writing #wildflowers #photography creamcrackerednature.blogspot.com/2026/02/rand...

Some dwarf crocuses at the park. 5 minutes after first two pictures, they had closed up #nature #wildflowers #photography

First fully open beautiful crocus I've seen #nature #wildflowers #photography

Hurried snapshot of a robin and a wood pigeon in sconce park #nature #birds #photography

Crocus with glory of the snow interloper. And I'll throw in snowdrops for me. Not included are my rude Tourette ditties I was singing on my walk #nature #wildflowers #photography #tourettes

A new player has entered the spring chat in friary gardens - glory of the snows. #nature #wildflowers #photography

Hazel catkins with it's tiny tiny flower #nature #wildflowers #photography
