The River Nidd in the mist, earlier today… #smallbeautieshour #BecauseOfClem #ThreadOfGold💛

Eating pears poached in cider and spices... Seeing a flock of, now rare here, lapwings and hearing their peewit call...or is that a big beauty? More than 24 hours later still full of the joy. And so many reed buntings. Sun on reeds. #SmallBeautieshour #smallbeauties #BecauseofClem #ThreadofGold

Evening Bluesky peeps. For #SmallBeautieshour a walk in the January mist, skeletal trees and hedgerows and an iced-over puddle slowly thawing out. Very atmospheric 💙 #BecauseofClem #ThreadofGold

#smallbeautieshour Despite a polar freeze over most of Canada, my little corner is mild. And the hellebore likes it. We may get snow later this week but this little hellebore has survived that two years in a row now.

Putting on comfy clothes and snacking on chocolate after a long drive #SmallBeautiesHour #BecauseOfClem #ThreadOfGold

With this beautiful flower I wish you a good day and that those who organize absurd wars disappear. 😘🧡💔

We spotted this little chap down near Tamworth Road Narrows. He was more than happy to pose for a photo, although he probably expected to be paid with a mealworm or two. 🪶 #WeDigCanals #Lichfield

Beauty of a maritime landscape. What a charm.💙🤍

#SmallBeautiesHour #BecauseOfClem #ThreadOfGold cold but sparkly

Knit going out #SmallBeautiesHour #BecauseOfClem #ThreadOfGold

Various birds in the frost and snow for #SmallBeautiesHour- very fluffed up robin (same one I think) and blackbirds eating fallen apples. Back to cold and wet now for the rest of January so will be needing all the #SmallBeauties we can find.

Delightful winter walks followed by hot drinks, biscuits, and blankets #SmallBeautiesHour #BecauseOfClem #ThreadOfGold

Evening Bluesky peeps. Some frosty #SmallBeauties from this weekends walk ❄️💙 #SmallBeautiesHour #BecauseofClem #ThreadofGold

The little dog has been very poorly, so B has made sure he’s had plenty of love to aid his recovery #BecauseOfClem #ThreadOfGold #SmallBeautiesHour

There haven't been many #SunlightThroughTrees days so far in 2026, so my #SmallBeautiesHour are a heated throw and cosy socks and delicious coffees from Christmas present beans; daydreaming about brighter days for they will come #BecauseOfClem #ThreadOfGold

Evening Bluesky peeps. Winter wonderland in the garden yesterday 🥶🤍❄️ Hope everyone is keeping warm and cozy. #SmallBeautiesHour #BecauseofClem #ThreadofGold

Last sunrise of 2025... 🌄 #Sunrise #NewYearsEve #Scape #Photography #EastCoastKin #Fermanagh

For #SmallBeautiesHour May 2026 bring many #smallbeauties There are the ones that don't photograph, like stepping outside and stretching my arms upwards, briefly, breathing deeply #BecauseOfClem #ThreadOfGold

For the final #SmallBeautiesHour of 2025, here is a basket of smaller ammonites, and a single giant ammonite from Lyme Regis… all seen at the amazing Stump Cross Cavern, earlier today. Wishing you all a very happy 2026 #BecauseOfClem #ThreadOfGold💛

Lindisfarne also produced some top notch opportunities for a few #RubbishBirdPics 💙 #SmallBeautiesHour #BecauseofClem #ThreadofGold

Evening Bluesky peeps. A lovely peaceful Christmas afternoon spent on Lindisfarne for #SmallBeautiesHour ##BecauseofClem #ThreadofGold

My sister’s ashes a year after her death on my garden—which she helped to start digging out of the bedrock. #SmallBeautiesHour #FlowersOnFriday #bloomscrolling #gardening #Flowers🌱

Evening Bluesky peeps. Beauties small and large this weekend on the spectacular Northumberland coast 💙 #SmallBeautiesHour #BecauseofClem #ThreadofGold

I have a wonderful seasonal job as Santa. The grotto is amazing - a lovely walk with the elves through a winter wonderland, before meeting Father Christmas in a cozy snug #BecauseOfClem #SmallBeautiesHour #ThreadOfGold💛

Catching up with #SmallBeautiesHour pigeon brassica art, autumn leaves stuck with frost to my greenhouse door, rose at the allotment, Xmas pudding, digitally stirred by family members

Evening all. A trip to a very wet but still very lovely Whitby at the weekend and any excuse for a #RubbishBirdPic 😁 💙 #SmallBeautiesHour #BecauseofClem #ThreadofGold

It’s this sort of day today…#BecauseOfClem #ThreadOfGold💛 #SmallBeautiesHour

#SmallBeautiesHour I volunteered at a holiday faire this weekend. It was a lot of fun. Here’s part of the “new to you” table. There was masses of baking, but alas no photos.
