Blorenge, but not Orange.. It's a Hill in (old) South #Wales and it was a bit misty and overcast so the sky looked boring in colour, so I think it looked better in #BlackandWhite #Olympus #OMsystem #B&W #Landscape #Landscapephotography

We had a fascinating talk from Bev Price on Monday where she warned us about the Danger from the Asian Hornet to our bee and other insect populations. We said that we would share some of the key information through our social media to help people be on the lookout for these invaders #AsianHornet

Thomas Henry Thomas 1839-1915) Former President of CNS has been featured in a new display board by the Friends of Cathays Cemetery You can see the text and pictures of the information board in place here, lots more abot him on our website cardiffnaturalists.org.uk/htmfiles/150...

There are some days when you get a "that's going to be expensive" feeling #landrover #classiccar #landroverkaty #suspension #maintenance

People seemed to like some of my B&W stuff the other day so I thought I would share a little more These were all taken on Porthcawl beach in South Wales UK #OMsystem #Olympus #Landscape #Landscapephotography #B&W #BlackandWhite #Sea #Waves

It's grey and moody outside so here are a few pictures that match the mood from South Wales #OMsystem #Olympus #B&W #BlackandWhite #Landscape #Landscapephotography #Seaviews

February 1836: newspapers across the country report that #MaryAnning, defrauded of her savings, had been awarded £300 from the government after her friends at the Geological Society lobbied the Prime Minister. With a further £200 they had collected in Dublin in 1835, this gave her an annuity of £25.

Great to learn today that a new mineral has been named after #MaryAnning. Anningite-Ce (Ca0.5Ce4+0.5)(VO4) was identified, appropriately, in a coprolite from the Cretaceous Gara Samani Formation in Algeria. www.mindat.org/min-471626.h...

This should be of interest to anyone involved with #birdingWales #ukwildlife #naturephotography #ukbirding definitely something to take a look at when it's too wet and snowy to be diing it yourself!

Some interesting stuff spotted on a long walk today Aren't people inventive

Enjoying a walk on the Llantwit Major beach and exploring the sea caves today Incredible scenery and interesting geology #landscapephotorgraphy #coast #caves #jurassic

Old Olymmpus camera sign in Valetta, Malta #OMsystem #Olympus #Photography

It's filthy weather outside and forecast for even more tomorrow so here's some nice colours taken in #scarborough #yorkshire on a nice sunny day #beachhuts #Olympus #OMsystem

Sometimes you just have to sit and wait for the sun to do its thing and enjoy every minute. #Gnerja #Malta #Sunset #Coast #OMsystem #Olympus #landscape #seascape #fourthirds

Quick update on some of the final numbers from the Salmon project cardiffnaturalists.blogspot.com/2025/10/back... #birdphotography #nationalmuseumofwales #amgueddfacymru

Colonel Morrey Salmons' first birding and photography diary covering 1903-1908 is now online at cardiffnaturalists.org.uk/htmfiles/Sal... #birds #photography #birdphotography #wildlifephotography #earlyphotography #Cardiff #CardiffHistory #wales #WelshHistory

Tritons’ Fountain/ Il-Funtana tat-Tritoni, Valletta, Malta Hand held at 1/15th using available light whilst on holiday. I love the image stabilization on this camera #omsystem #olympus #OM1 #landscape #travel #culture

The first of the Salmon and Ingram transcribed documents are now online A lot of hard work, more to come when time allows cardiffnaturalists.org.uk/htmfiles/Sal... #birdphotography #wildlife #Cardiff

Extended seabed geology map of the Bristol Channel published 🗺️ 🌊 Renewable energy infrastructure, whether on- or offshore, requires an in-depth understanding and accurate characterisation of the underlying geology. 🧵

Wildlife watching at home. Phone photo through the patio doors of a frog in a flower pot #amphibian #wildlife #wildlifephotography #wales #nature

You want me to respect the Earth.. Well I do, obviously a lot more than the person who spray painted on this bit of local geology #omsystem #olympus #geology #landscapephotography #Triassic #Wales #BarryIsland

Did you watch Countryfile talking about Cherry Kearton? One of our members Grandmother was so impressed with his talk she bought the book and went to Uganda for 10 years with her husband teaching in local schools. Wildlife photography and talks have always inspired Join ours!

What a topsy turvy world we live in ... That's the clue and one of the pictures should be a give away #OMsystem #Olympus #Landscapephotography #Nature #Naturephotography #B&W #BlackandWhite #Wales #Clydach

#Scarborough is a wonderful place when it's sunny. Here's 11 pictures that I took and stitched together to get a super wide view of the North bay #Yorkshire #Seaside #OMSystem #Olympus #Wideangle (to see the wide view click on the picture)

Still playing with some #B&W this time its a #Tree and #Ruin from the #Yorkshiredales #OMsystem #Olympus

Thus time of year (in the northern hemisphere anyway) the leaves take on an even greater level of interest IMO. Some of the trees are already dropping probably due to drought stress Interesting in colour, but I lke it in B&W as well #OMsystem #Olympus #B&W #trees #nature #autumn

Going through some old pictures as I sort out on my new computer and definitely having a Black and White phase at the moment #B&W #OMsystem #Olympus #landscape #landscapephotography #trees #Wales

The wrinkled skin of the earth! For those who are not sure what the B&W is it's the faulted and jointed Jurassic aged rocks at the foot of this cliff in South Wales #omsystem #olympus #B&W #landscape #landscapephotography

Having a play with some images. This is a bridge I drive over frequently #OMsystem #Olympus #Landscape #Landscapephotography #bridges

Just visited Ruthie the Edmontosaurus in the National museum of Wales in Cardiff Nice to see an old friend. I remember her in kit form before we put her together. She appears on the film #Dinosaur13 during that building #dinosaur #NMW

Who you looking at? Puffin with Sandeels, Skomer island Wales, UK #wildlifephotography #naturephotography #birdphotography #OMsystem #olympus

Time to cut the hedge as the birds have finished nesting... What's this? My research suggests it's a field mouse nest (empty I checked carefully). I put it back a bit lower after cutting in case it was still useful to someone #wildlife #mammals #mouse

Even in colour and in the natural sunshine this red feed bucket stood out amongst the flood deposited driftwood and rubbish. The "colour Splash" technique isn't one I usually use, but it felt right for this picture #OMsystem #Olympus #LandscapePhotography

I recently found my old cave geology webpage id forgotten about so I've started updating it in case it's useful to people www.shenstone.me.uk/galleries/un... #cave #karst #speleology #geology

Nicely set up for a cup of tea in the sunshine #landrover #4x4

The Flagpole has been erected for the day #yorkshireday #4x4 #landrover

Happy #yorkshire day to all my friends especially those ooop north (but not too far ooop north)

From what I see online, it's time for a reminder that the tongue-twister 'she sells sea shells' has *nothing* to do with #MaryAnning. It's an 1850s elocution exercise, elaborated into a music hall song by 1908. The earliest reference linking it with Anning is 1975. blogs.loc.gov/folklife/201...

Camping at Margam park in Wales. Stunning location and wild deer wandering around Really hot, very pleased about my solar system powering the fridge to keep the beer cold #Landrover #4x4

First crop of potatoes for the year. These are 2nd earlies. Certainly enough for a couple of meals from one bag (7 more to crop) #gardening #vegplot #homegrown #spuds

Took the father-in-laws Morris 8 to have the breaks problem investigated #morris #classiccar

Had a fun road run with the two tractors and #LandRover Katy to the local agricultural show #4x4 #Machenshow #T20 #35X

Want something to read? Like looking at pictures You'll find some good nature information and pictures in the latest newsletter is online at cardiffnaturalists.org.uk/htmfiles/new... #birds #birdphotography #nature #wales #botany #weather

Isn't the internet wonderful for reaching out to people, but also Isn't the printed book excellent for holding on to useful information. Here's a recent success in our Facebook group www.facebook.com/groups/Cardi... #MorreySalmon #Birdphotography #naturephotography

It's a pity that this #fakenews regarding #marconi is still in place with no clarification given that we published evidence that he wasn't first many years ago and that Sir John Gavey beat him by 5 years. www.cardiffnaturalists.org.uk/htmfiles/150...

Great weekend at the GBLR show, excellent vehicles and cakes and helping out people #landrover #landroverkaty
