@mooseallain.bsky.social If I recall correctly, you're colourblind and therefore probably can't appreciate the true garishness of these advent calendars, but my boys are loving doing them! Thank you again

Every year we make a free-to-download-and-print-off-yourself colouring-in Advent Calendar. This year’s heavily features Bigfoots. Please share! Download it for free here… www.worldofmoose.com/pages/2025-b...

Freckles ❤️ 🌱

A few sparks of colour are still to be found #wildflowerhour

My hydrangea appears to be sprouting new shoots... in autumn (in the UK). Anyone else had experience of this? 🌱

There's a lot of fungi out in the forest right now. I’ve no idea what any of them are, but they are fascinating to look at #fungi #newforest

Dusk at Hightown lake

A visit to Ireland delivered far more wildflowers than my scorched patch at home, Red Bartsia, Eyebright, wild Fushias and Sneezewort were some of my favouites as they are unusal for me to find #wildflowerhour #flowers

An outrageously flamboyant Flame lily from the Botanical gardens in Belfast - I'd recommend visiting, beautiful and free

My volunteer (no idea where it came from) sunflower blossomed 🌻🌱

Small fleabane for #wildflowerhour

My name sake, White Bryony, and my sisters name sake Tansy, with and unknown and very tiny #pollinatorpals for #wildflowerhour

The kids excitedly found this in the garden this evening. I think it is the catepillar of a elephant hawk moth. Cute, almost anime style eyes. Now safely back on a fushia 🐛🌱

Gorgeous and luxurious - the Bathsheba rose. A beauty to behold and an honour to own. 🌱

A two spot on a hollyhock 🐞🌱

They're ripe.🌱 #wildflowerhour

Perennial sweetpea and a bumblebee, such glorious colours🌱

Heather is just beginning to come out in the New Forest. Another month and the whole place will be awash with pink.

A Common Emerald moth. Beautiful colouring. #Lepidoptera #wildlife #moths

Chuffed to find this little beauty in my garden today. Stag beetles are such amazing creatures (but utterly inept flyers 😂). So pleased my gardening strategy of 'benign neglect' is paying off. 🌱

Taking down the kids old playhouse today, and we found what I think are a litter of water shrews - simply the cutest little creatures! They were carefully and gently relocated to a safer part of the garden, with a stash of worms from the compost heap #nature #wildlife

A fluffy bumble bee with fat little pollen sacs on a yellow lupin. Summer in one picture.

Lovely selection of dinky little flowers this week for #wildflowerhour, creeping cinquefoil, grass vetchling and smooth tare. #nature, #flowers, 🌱

The spindle tree - this tiny, bland little flower, will, in a few months, produce the most exuberantly colourful berry. #wildflowerhour, #trees, #nature 🌱

Tiny little pavement plants growing in a crack on my drive. Field madder and black medic. #PavementPlants #WildFlowerHour #nature 🌱

Phenomenal amounts of blossom on the Hawthorn this year, photo doesn't even come close to doing it justice 🌱 #wildflowerhour

Marsh marigolds and their jester hat seed heads at Hampshire Hatches #wildflowerhour 🌱

Such a lot of fluff from the willows right now, it is like it snowed 🌨 at Hampshire Hatches #wildflowerhour #trees

The sun makes everything lovelier doesn't it? Saw my first stitchwort and yellow archangel of the year. Also found a newt in my garden pond which was a huge hit with the kids 🦎🌱 #wildflowerhour

Lovely mother's day walk around Winbourne St Giles. Found Butterbur for the first time ever, which was pleasing, and loads of beautiful white violets #wildflowerhour

Always amazes me that plants can survive in the most improbable places. #PavementPlants, #wildflowerhour 🌱

Nothing very exciting this week, but there are more flowers each week, and the promise of more to come 🌱 #wildflowerhour, #NewForest, #Flowers

Such elegant animals. Always a joy to encounter them in the New Forest. #NewForest, #deer

My first lesser celendine of the year which provided a lovely splash of sunshine. And I think we must be nearing peak snowdrop in my neck of the woods 🌱 #wildflowerhour, #flowers, #nature

🌱 So pleased to find my first sweet violet of the season - life is tentatively coming back. I always get a disproportionate amount of joy from the first flowers of the new year #wildflowerhour #flowers #NewForest

Beautiful trees and sunset in the New Forest - bit chilly though 🥶 #trees, #NewForest, #NaturePhotography

Little ladybird snuggled up in the ivy 🌱🐞

Some end of summer colour still in the garden, hollyhocks giving their last hurrah, dahlias and erigeron daisies still going strong, which is more than can be said for my fork 😂

🌱Question for any gardeners out there - can anyone identify this bulb? I'm clearing a bed and they keep appearing and I can't for the life of me think what they are. Thanks

Picture of my namesake from a few weeks back - Black Bryony 🌱

Blue skies and autumnal trees
