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

Giving it all away? #poet #poetry #creativity #BeingHuman #NatureWriting

A short Wordsworth round above Grasmere, Micheal’s seat, Alcock Tarn and down to sit in John’s Grove a while. Wordsworths fir-grove - a ‘cloistral place of refuge’ - whose greens are catching the early autumn sun 💚 #dailynature #naturewriting

Just for fun duo-thingy is learning me Scottish Gaelic. Looking over local Bowland Fells I imagine them wearing their best Gaelic garb. Fairsnape, whose name I borrowed for business, becomes Meall an Ionaltair Bhàin “hill of the fair pasture” 💚 #dailynature #naturewriting

From this time of year, with our skyview, we are treated to winter sunrises until sun turns back, winter to spring, potentially 227 days of awe & wonder chemical stimulation, glorious circadian regulation & a reminder how we still have a deep connection to seasonal solar rhythms #sunscape #skyscape

From the Sailors Path we watched the windhover soar into the indigo Suffolk sky, hover, then dive into reeds, rise again above us, hover, shift position then dive, ki repeats two more times before hunt success and gliding away over Snape Warren. #NatureWriting #MicroMoment
