Lots of loud and cheery feathered friends today. 🐦

Blue sky making this early cherry blossom pop.

I'm sure people were wondering why I was photographing a muddy puddle! Raindrops perfectly beaded on a feather. 🪶

For ##thicktrunktuesday - with added daffodils

Beautiful Spring flowers seen on my walk today. So good to feel the warmth of the sun and spend time in nature. 💜

Managed to have a day off when the sky was doing this. Happiness.

Lovely day today and Bobbin the Robin was in good voice. #ukbirds #birds #photography #wildlife

Always a pleasure to see drifts of snowdrops 🤍

Nature bringing the love, in the form of a heart-shaped ivy leaf 💚

Puddly reflections

Didn't see it unfortunately, but the Merlin app picked up a Kingfisher on my walk this morning.

The great news is that brother was found in Kelsall just before 10pm (3°C) and is now safely home. Thank you so much to everyone who had expressed concern, shared and in many cases searched .. so much appreciated.

A little cherry-plum blossom against blue sky to lift the spirits. Along the avenue into Ashton Court snowdrops are in full bloom & wild daffodils just coming out. The meadows are full of skylarks and their bubbling, rising notes.

My brother Garry has dementia and is currently lost somewhere in the Chester area. If anyone should spot him please call the police on 999. We'd appreciate reposts. @shitchester.bsky.social

Birdsong and snowdrops from my nature walk this morning. Good for the soul.

Where the fairies live - mossy tree roots, snowdrops and bluebells starting to grow. Woodland heaven.

One for #PostboxSaturday from my walk this morning. Arley Green, Cheshire.

Been a while since the skies were this colour! A good day for a walk. Freezing, but invigorating. #bluesky

Recently replaced, all shiny and new. @lakesstiles.bsky.social

Birdsong galore. 20 different birds, another sure sign that we are heading in the right direction towards Spring. 🐦‍⬛🌱

Feeling in a reflective mood...

Daffodils already in flower in a sheltered spot, hazel catkins, and snowdrops seen on my nature walk yesterday. Very welcome signs of Spring on its way.

In the morning light... #photography #photo #beach #sunset #nature #reflection #dawn #sunrise #sky #landscape

Robins will defend their territory fiercely and if that means putting a sign up, they will. #BirdOfTheDay #urban #EastCoastKin #ukbirds #birds

Pictures taken this week, in Tavistock’s park, Moortown, #Dartmoor and Tavistock ‘s church, west #Devon. #photography

A gathering of blue spring flowers — a small promise of what lies ahead, and an antidote to those Monday blues. Wishing you all a bright and hopeful start to the week.

Looking forward to Spring.. red campion flowers in a footpath near Tavistock a couple of Springs ago, #Devon. #Wildflowers #photography

Two important things: 1) after tomorrow the sun will not set before 5pm again in the UK…until October 2) if you’re struggling just now *please* be kind to yourself

Here’s a poem called ‘Message to the 14-Year-Old Me’.

In the early morning glow.

After sharing a bark collage a few weeks ago and seeing how much you enjoyed it, I thought I’d share some more. Close details from Anglesey Abbey last weekend, where bark, lichen and fungi create endlessly varied patterns.

I’ve been posting observations online since 2011. Back in 2013, when I only had a few people reading them, an artist @400footghost.bsky.social read this one: A woman on the tube, her beautiful silver hair cascading in waves over her vivid red cape, nods to herself as she reads a book about tigers.🧵

Velvety mossy tree roots and bountiful snowdrops. So very lovely to see the signs of early Spring emerging. #nature #trees #snowdrops

Along the River Kent this afternoon. The snowdrops seem to like the environment of the old gunpowder works 😊
