A little November Herb Robert and Gorse colour spotted this week, … @wildflowerhour.bsky.social #BeaconFell #Lancashire

Good to listen to Sophy Roberts at @kendalmountainfest.bsky.social, Training School for Elephants, and a reminder, from Robert Frost … “a poem begins with a lump in the throat’ … as a deeply emotional and embodied experience. #NatureWriting

#BookWeekScotland #friendship Nan Shepherd Living Mountain ‘Yet often the mountain gives itself most completely when I have no destination, when I reach nowhere in particular but have gone out merely to be with the mountain as one visits a friend with no intention but to be with him’ #NatureWriting

The thrust of the song thrush song has to be #joy … There is a willpower in the emotion. @markcoker.bsky.social in this morning’s Country Diary #NatureWriting www.theguardian.com/environment/...

I caught this evening … Windhover, Kestrel, against Earth shadow at sundown, a connection to wild, spiritual, transcendent Hopkins prose #NoticingNature #NatureWriting

Nature writer, n. A person who delights in paying attention, being astonished, and telling about it. (Mary Oliver) #NatureWriting

An evening walk along Rubh Arisaig coast road. The sky as the sands, silver with hues of grey and many more of blue. Oystercatchers squabbling at low tide, winter bracken of firebright burnt and raw umbers. 💚 #noticingnature #dailynature #naturewriting

Wonderful atmospherics today on #Knoydart “Britains Last Wildnerness” where sea, sky, mountain dance with light #noticingnature #dailynature #naturewriting

‘in the late afternoon the wind suddenly dropped for half an hour, and there was the quiet splendour of purpling hills and a foreground of silvered loch with the birches and pines showing black against a golden sunset’ Harry Griffin, Guardian Diary 1967 #naturewriting

Under Ben Dorain, autumn sun highlights texture, felt through onomatopoetic prose of Duncan Ban MacIntyre: “Gu stobanach stacanach Slocanach laganach Cnocanach cnapanach Caiteanach ròmach, Pasganach badanach Bachlagach bòidheach” (Moladh Beinn Dòbhrain) #noticingnature #dailynature #naturewriting

Lovely blog on the stars, specifically the Pleiades - which if you are like me and look at stars but often forget their names, is one you've definitely been trying to remember recently

November arrives with bare trees, early sunsets and darkness, inviting us to do what humans have always done when the days grow short: gather close and tell stories …

Psithurism walk. The urgent susurration of wind through ash, the rushing sway across fell-land grasses, the tidal roar through pines. … #Psithurism and #susurration - lovely words describing whisper of wind through leafs 💚 #noticingnature #dailynature #naturewriting

@rachelape.bsky.social hi, good to connect, was the quote montage yours?

Lovely piece from @amyjanebeer.bsky.social about those all-important, positive relationships & encounters with farmers. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Come the dawn, come the day, come the colours sienna, crimson with indigo, aerial isles under stratocumulus. Beyond the village cross crows arrive for daily gathering on bones of the ash. Are they feeling colours changing with seasons turn at September’s end 💚 #dailynature #naturewriting

Never seen apples so red & clustered as this. A result of earlier pollination & recent warm days, cooler nights. Seems neither have tits, blackbirds, thrushes who break-feast in morning mist. Below, fallen are pulled into natures soil cycle by earthworm bioturbation 💚 #dailynature #naturewriting

An ancient conversation, a secret whispered, symbiosis in a micro metropolis … relishing in delights of exploring garden moss, lichen, slime mold and more in such a colourful micro ecosystem 💚 #dailynature #naturewriting

Mast year symbiosis: extending beyond chance … flowers and pollinators consciously helping each other out? Kate Bradbury #naturewriting on a #interconnectedness and #kinship we barely understand or imagine in this mornings Country Diary www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Feeling the Pull of the Equinox with thoughts on balance and reciprocity 💚 #dailynature #naturewriting #ForestOfBowland (September Sunrise from Beacon Fell looking towards Pendle Hill)

‘loaded with the electricity of enchantment … tracing aerial pathways that link the present to the deep past … we are enclosed in the centre of this 300m-year-old whisper’ Paul Evans wonderful Guardian Country Diary celebrates the sound of the dragonfly www.theguardian.com/environment/...?

After a day of wet rinse cycle weather, we wake to call of wren, blackbird & pigeon. The rising sun cuts gold between clear cerulean bluesky and dark green of land. Later, as sunlight touches the top of the orchard trees, you can sense the apples stretching & smiling. 💚 #dailynature #naturewriting

Nature’s #angles Where every pattern, every line, every angle shines in reciprocity. An interconnected web of life, in autumn's heather, hues of purple, mauve, and pink. 💚 #dailynature #naturewriting #BlueSkyArtShow #web #photography #nature #NoticingNature #PoetryWithUs

Blustery on Bowland Fells this week … loving the simple feel of #pleinair charcoal sketching Friday #Scape #landscape #ForestOfBowland #Fairsnape #Charcoal #BlueskyArt #PoetryWithinUs

Light breaks a steely grey, oddly balancing with another season imagery of Lark Ascending playing on radio. Land feels resting after gales, yet forecast has more storm before low temps & sun to mark coming equinox. A celebration of light/dark & reciprocity balance 💚 #dailynature #naturewriting

On a blustery, sunny gap between showers, we ‘walked the hedge’ A potential community project to lay a line of Hawthorn prominently decorated with red haws. Clusters of bright berries marking the coming transition into autumn 💚 #dailynature #naturewriting

Kitchen smells of natures autumn gifts, simmering soused pears, bubbling damson jam, a bucket of peelings for compost. Outside blackbirds feast on the fallen with a few late Red Admirals, for whom only the most rotten will do as Mark Cocker mentioned in Guardian diary 💚 #dailynature #naturewriting

The Ash who lives out front, echoes wind as a gentle rhythmic rush. Slender Silver Birch bow and dance with the wind. Hail showers join falling acorns in a shed roof symphony. Fruits now all windblown from pear trees. Gathered Crow gossip will be an excited affair. 💚 #dailynature #naturewriting

From the southern edge of Beacon Fell we watched storm squalls, like grey smoke serpents, barrel across Amounderness, Winter Hill and Ribble Valley, bringing to life the Met Office’s measled radar chart 💚 #dailynature #naturewriting #scape #cloudscape #rainscape #ForestOfBowland #watercolour

The low intense sun gave a liminal space between heavy late summer hail showers, everything felt alive, an expectant atmosphere, waiting, breath holding. Visions of Beethoven’s brilliant anticipation as the Pastoral Symphony village summer party ends abruptly 💚 #dailynature #naturewriting

“As environmental and social challenges grow ever more urgent, it’s inspiring to see writers of all ages and backgrounds using their voices to deepen our connection with the natural world,” Alastair Giles award director.

Through heavy rain, under storm clouds the sun rises with promise, momentarily casting a diffused orange hue. Crows who gather on the bare-boned ash face towards the sun and I ponder the stories, news and gossip they are sharing today. 💚 #dailynature #naturewriting

A blizzard of Red Admirals drift around, drunk from the late summer happy hour sunshine on fallen apples, pears & wild strawberries 💚 #NaturesGifts #dailynature #naturewriting

The harvest moon floats high through leaves and branches of ash, yggdrasil, uinnseann, 💚 #dailynature #naturewriting

A layered end of #summer feel: 3 buzzards gliding, cruising, keening high under a mackerel cloud sky, no doubt observing a ‘richness’ of excited swallows below, whilst a ‘kaleidoscope’ of Red Adirmals feed on rotting apples and pears at ground level 💚 #dailynature #naturewriting #BlueskyArtShow

Sitting on a crate under the Beech tree who lives in our field. Although leaf edges are curling yellow, they are still a luxurious green and a shelter from a September downpour. Wondering do leaves feel autumn change with sadness, or joy? Are they holding hands? 💚 #dailynature #naturewriting
