Netherfileds Lagoon, lots of birds, but too cold to stay in the air - just straight over and down into the relative warmth of the reeds. Need to visit again soon... #Nottingham #Canon6DMarkII @photohour.bsky.social #loveukweather #appicoftheweek #fsprintmonday #ShareMondays2025

Trying to find some new views near me, my eye was caught by a brief shaft of light on a tree as the sun went down. Afternoons are so short now! #Ashover #Derbyshire #Canon6DMarkII @photohour.bsky.social #loveukweather #appicoftheweek #fsprintmonday #ShareMondays2025

Still chasing after the colours of #autumn... #Derbyshire #Canon6DMarkII @photohour.bsky.social #loveukweather #appicoftheweek #fsprintmonday #ShareMondays2025

Annual trip to #Chatsworth to see the fireworks on Friday evening. Heavy rain had made it very slippery underfoot, but it stopped just in time. Wouldn't miss this spectacle for the world! #Canon6DMarkII @photohour.bsky.social #loveukweather #appicoftheweek #fsprintmonday #ShareMondays2025

Visited Gosford Park, #Longniddry in East Lothian, #Scotland for the first time on Saturday. Jaw dropping colours that no photo can do justice to! #Canon6DMarkii @photohour.bsky.social #loveukweather #appicoftheweek #fsprintmonday #ShareMondays2025

Spotted this little chap from afar last week and couldn't believe my luck as I approached - the first time I have seen a coprinus or Shaggy Ink Cap 'in the flesh'. #Cotswolds #Gloucestershire #Canon6DMarkii @photohour.bsky.social #loveukweather #appicoftheweek #fsprintmonday #ShareMondays2025

Everyone is posting their pic of #stormAmy - well here's mine... Just a few of the windfalls I've collected in the last couple of days... 🍐🍎🍏 #Derbyshire #Canon6DMarkII @photohour.bsky.social #loveukweather #appicoftheweek #fsprintmonday #ShareMondays2025

Derby Feste were back this weekend to entertain the people of Derby. Amazing acrobatic acts; this one was #Spinsane a spinning wheel of death where luckily no one came to harm. #Canon6DMarkII @derbyshireuk.bsky.social @photohour.bsky.social #appicoftheweek #fsprintmonday #ShareMondays2025

I'm pleased to announce the winner is @markhether18.bsky.social with Blea Tranquility. A masterful landscape in portrait form makes me want to walk straight into the water and carry on until I reach the mountains in the distance. Love it! Congratulations. 👏👏 #sharemondays2025

Some really beautiful entries for #ShareMondays2025 this week. It's taken me ages, but here are my final 4. 🙂 @davideberlin.bsky.social @mehceephotos.bsky.social @markhether18.bsky.social @geoff-franklin.bsky.social Winner to be announced later this afternoon.

We all need a pot of gold to fund our dreams. This one belonged to my neighbours walking in a nearby field. 🙂 #Morley #Derbyshire #Canon6DMarkII @photohour.bsky.social #loveukweather #appicoftheweek #fsprintmonday #ShareMondays2025

Golden late afternoon light on a field of sunflowers under-sown with barley. #StantonbyDale #Derbyshire #Canon6DMarkII @photohour.bsky.social #loveukweather #appicoftheweek #fsprintmonday #ShareMondays2025

Lift off at Chatsworth Country Fair on Friday evening. One of the few who braved the wind to get airborne. #ChatsworHouse #Derbyshire #PeakDistrict #Canon6DMarkII @photohour.bsky.social #loveukweather #appicoftheweek #fsprintmonday #ShareMondays2025

I always like to imagine what animals say to each other: "Count to three and then let's leg it" Which is exactly what they did... #hares #Cotswolds #Gloucestershire #Canon6DMarkii @photohour.bsky.social #loveukweather #appicoftheweek #fsprintmonday #ShareMondays2025

Went in search of heather last week. There's not a huge amount, but just enough to get the picture I was after. Thank you sheep for your 7 seconds of time! #BeeleyMoor #Derbyshire #PeakDistrict #Canon6DMarkII @photohour.bsky.social #loveukweather #appicoftheweek #fsprintmonday #ShareMondays2025

Spent a lovely couple of hours at Barlow in the Peak District taking photos of the sunflowers on a windy afternoon. Bringing sunshine into the hearts of many... 🌻🌻🌻 #Barlow #Sunflowers #Derbyshire #Canon6DMarkII @photohour.bsky.social #loveukweather #appicoftheweek #fsprintmonday #ShareMondays2025

Red Arrows wow factor as they flew past over Stanton by Dale, Derbyshire, yesterday, after a no show earlier due to bad weather. The best 7 seconds of taking photos in a while! #Canon6DMarkII #100-400mm @photohour.bsky.social #loveukweather #appicoftheweek #fsprintmonday #ShareMondays2025

I thought this chap was a Common Field Grasshopper, but it turns out he is a Meadow Grasshopper and so well camouflaged in his green and brown suit. #Cotswolds #Gloucestershire #Canon6DMarkii @photohour.bsky.social #loveukweather #appicoftheweek #fsprintmonday #ShareMondays2025

Our annual trip to Bempton Cliffs to see the gannets and the odd Puffin this week. I love Puffins, but equally the Gannets have such character. Imagine the caption here... #Yorkshire #Canon6DMarkII @photohour.bsky.social #loveukweather #appicoftheweek #fsprintmonday #ShareMondays2025

No prizes for guessing which dance is being demonstrated here at the 21st Bakewell International Day of Dance on Saturday. Well done to all the dancers on a very hot day!! 🙂 #Derbyshire #Bakewell #Canon6DMarkII @photohour.bsky.social #loveukweather #appicoftheweek #fsprintmonday #ShareMondays2025

You need to be very patient to take photos of butterflies. Happy to have spent time with this Marbled White while he flew between the purple flowers of lucerne. 🙂 #Cotswolds #Gloucestershire #Canon6DMarkii @photohour.bsky.social #loveukweather #appicoftheweek #fsprintmonday #ShareMondays2025

This week I visited a garden in the Cotswolds. Words cannot describe how beautiful it was... 🙂 #Rockcliffe #Cotswolds #Gloucestershire #Canon6DMarkii @photohour.bsky.social #loveukweather #appicoftheweek #fsprintmonday #ShareMondays2025

It's peony season in my garden this week and as it's windy and rainy, the perfect excuse for having them in the house to enjoy. #lovegardening #Derbyshire #Canon6DMarkII @photohour.bsky.social #loveukweather #appicoftheweek #fsprintmonday #ShareMondays2025

Muntjac are pretty timid creatures and bound off at the slightest approach. Although this is a heavy crop, it's the nearest I've been to one with my camera. #Cotswolds #Gloucestershire #Canon6DMarkii @photohour.bsky.social #loveukweather #appicoftheweek #fsprintmonday #ShareMondays2025

Row club at North Berwick with Bass Rock like a white beacon on the horizon. #NorthBerwick #BassRock #Canon6DMarkll @photohour.bsky.social #loveukweather #appicoftheweek #fsprintmonday #ShareMondays2025

Found this beauty by a spring; a beautiful demoiselle - metallic blue body and dark wings means this is a male - the female has a green body. #Cotswolds #Gloucestershire #Canon6DMarkii @photohour.bsky.social #loveukweather #appicoftheweek #fsprintmonday (last week's) #ShareMondays2025

So rewarding when you find a perfect flower in your garden. #clematis #lovegardening #Derbyshire #Canon6DMarkII @photohour.bsky.social #loveukweather #appicoftheweek #fsprintmonday #ShareMondays2025

Hiding in a sea of white dandelion heads... #hare #Cotswolds #Gloucestershire #Canon6DMarkii @photohour.bsky.social #loveukweather #appicoftheweek #fsprintmonday #ShareMondays2025

Looks like summer is here already, warm days, the green of the leaves and the heady scent of oil seed rape... #Canon6DMarkll #Derbyshire @photohour.bsky.social #loveukweather #appicoftheweek #fsprintmonday #ShareMondays2025

Sharing more photos of my new favourite wood - Linacre, near Chesterfield... 🙂 #Derbyshire

Visited a new wood to see the Bluebells - Linacre, near Chesterfield. So much to photograph, bluebells, wild garlic, newly hatched ducklings and beautiful beech trees just coming in to leaf... 🙂 #Derbyshire @photohour.bsky.social #loveukweather #appicoftheweek #fsprintmonday #ShareMondays2025

Some magical about a new leaf emerging in Spring, so vibrant it almost takes your breath away... #Derbyshire #Canon6DMarkII @photohour.bsky.social #loveukweather #appicoftheweek #fsprintmonday #ShareMondays2025

The joy of new colour in Spring sunshine... #primulas #Cotswolds #Gloucestershire #Canon6DMarkii @photohour.bsky.social #loveukweather #appicoftheweek #fsprintmonday #ShareMondays2025

All that is left of the great East window of Dale Abbey, #Derbyshire #Canon6D @photohour.bsky.social #loveukweather #appicoftheweek #fsprintmonday #ShareMondays2025

I had a long walk on Saturday afternoon and right at the end the sun lit up this scene and the sky behind darkened. It lasted for two short minutes... 🙂 #Dethick #Derbyshire #Canon6DMarkII @photohour.bsky.social #loveukweather #appicoftheweek #fsprintmonday #ShareMondays2025

Mr Pheasant, looking gorgeous yesterday. Wasn't keen to have his photo taken though...🙂 #Cotswolds #Gloucestershire #Canon6D @photohour.bsky.social #loveukweather #appicoftheweek #fsprintmonday #ShareMondays2025

A sea of crocuses and some welcome sunshine at our local churchyard 🙂 #Morley #Derbyshire #Canon6D @photohour.bsky.social #loveukweather #appicoftheweek #fsprintmonday #ShareMondays2025

It's a little unusual to find Monkey Puzzle trees in the #PeakDistrict so thought I would post this image - snowdrops and Monkey Puzzles in Parwich 🙂 #Derbyshire #Canon6D @photohour.bsky.social #loveukweather #appicoftheweek #fsprintmonday #ShareMondays2025

No real camera time this last week in the gloom - although we did have a flying visit to North Berwick. All I have to offer is a panorama of Platform 5 at Waverley Station Edinburgh, thanks to my iPhone 🙂 #Scotland @photohour.bsky.social #appicoftheweek #fsprintmonday #ShareMondays2025

Snowdrops in a local woodland this week. The are meant to herald the end of winter, but today I'm not so sure. 🙂 #Canon6D #Derbyshire @photohour.bsky.social #loveukweather #appicoftheweek #fsprintmonday #ShareMondays2025

It's really difficult to get three horses to look at you at the same time, especially when they are busy eating hay... 🙂#Canon6D #Derbyshire @photohour.bsky.social #loveukweather #appicoftheweek #fsprintmonday #ShareMondays2025

Sunshine illuminating barbed wire on a gate. Taken over the weekend. #AuschwitzLiberation #Canon6D #Derbyshire @photohour.bsky.social @theguardian.com #ShareMondays2025 #loveukweather #appicoftheweek #fsprintmonday

No snow this week, but this misty sunset made up for it...🙂 #Canon6D #Derbyshire @photohour.bsky.social #ShareMondays2025 #loveukweather #appicoftheweek #fsprintmonday
