Two more games we pulled out, today. 🥰

Tatakai. A new game hubby picked up at a Convention. Simple, but loads of fun.

Topical.

My #Emmrook commission from @elkaby.bsky.social just came through. So happy with my sweet little nerds. #dragonageveilguard #dav #emmrichvolkarin #mournwatch

"...Now look at the life we made We're makin' our own bouquet..." - Gwen Stefani, Bouquet. 2024. #AlphabetChallenge #WeekSForSong #ECK Nature's bouquet - A gift of petite roses in my garden this morning. 💛 #dailyflowers 🌱 #flowerreport #bloomscrolling #FlowersOnFriday #FloralFriday

I cannot stress this strongly enough: Support your local theatre, café, bookstore, bakery, and library. We breathe life into these places when we support them. They need us, and more importantly, we need them.

Be a David Attenborough in world of Trumps, Farages, Musks, and Putins.

Sir David Attenborough… on your 100th birthday, we thank you. For a lifetime dedicated to the natural world, and for sharing its story with such grace and wonder. Generations have fallen in love with nature because of you. Happy birthday, Sir. 🎉

I see no lies here

Looking forward to seeing thos Ceanothus blooming when fully grown. #bloomscolling #Flowers #pollinators #gardening

Me too, Atchoum. Me too. 😴😴😴

Social battery

This is the quietest month I've had, possibly ever. I have a favour to ask, if you like my work, could you please give it a share to help it get in front of more people? Thank you :) #watercolours #birdart 🪶

Slightly wonky in places, but a nice low maintainence, pollinator friendly patch I sorted today. 🥰🪻🌿🐝 #gardening #wildlifegardening

A movie from the year you turned 18.

My Gran had a large pink hydrangea in her back yard. It was just about the only thing that grew there, aside from mutant rhubarb and more mutant thistles. I've wanted to get myself one for our new place since we moved in last year. I finally have one! Looking forward to potting it up. #bloomscroll

Kicking myself for not having my camera out today. The one time I head to a nature reserve without it, and I see a Marsh Harrier. #eastchevingtonnaturereserve #Nature #birds #marshharrier

"What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make. The greatest danger to our future is apathy." Remembering Dr. Jane Goodall on her birthday 💐💐💐🙌🏼

I much prefer doing my research amidst the flickering lanterns of an old-fashioned library in Prague during a raging thunderstorm with the help of a library ghost, so no, I'm afraid I have no interest in "asking ChatGPT.”

Articulate only in writing. Speech wise there's generally some roadworks going on between the thinking part of my brain, and my mouth. 😅

Saw the Legend (yes he is one) that is Greg Davies tonight. Wanted to see him for years and finally got to. Was not disappointed. 🥰🫡🥳

Amazing artwork of my Rook, by @paramortality.bsky.social 🥰🤩 The vitaar is beautiful! The metallic green dots look absolutely stunning. #qunarirooks #dragonage #dragonageveilguard #veilguard

Getting reacquainted with Inkubus Sukkubus. Been a while. 🎶🎧🎵

this field biologist does a great job highlighting the insidiousness of AI editing these one-click AI edit buttons are incredibly appealing to many photographers, amateurs and professionals alike, and are framed as innocuous this is worth sharing and educating people about

While looking through images from last year, I came across one from Raby Castle. I noticed this red deer looking very unimpressed with me. Had to zoom in quite some way, but I feel she goes some way in exhibiting how I look when I open my front door. 🤪 #mood

I didn't realise how much i'd missed Dragon Age Inquisition till I started replaying it tonight. Combined with replaying Veilguard again my world is wholly DA right now. Just planning the ways my inquisitor is connected to my Rook, because obviously that must happen. #dragonage 🧙‍♂️🧟‍♀️🧟‍♂️

Finally got to have a mooch to Cresswell beach today with the hubby. Should be great for some landscapes and rockpool based macros in future. Added bonus: found some sea glass, and an awful lot of Oyster Catchers which were comparatively tame, so also great for future images! 🐦🪶🐬🪼 #cresswellbeach

Next on my reading list. #janegoodall #reading #readinglist #conservation #hope

Finally! Signs of spring! 🥰🌿🌱

Happy eight birthday to this fluffy bundle of chaos.🥰🐾

"To photograph truthfully is to see beneath the surface and record the qualities of nature and humanity which live in all things." - A. Adams. A print of his "Moon and Half Dome" hanging in my living room is a joy to behold. Remembering Ansel Adams on his birthday. 💐💐💐 #photography #EastCoastKin

Photography is an art which brings you in contact with the universe. You must encounter the world as it is, not how you imagine it to be, and continue looking. If you return to a spot more than once, it will be different every time. #naturephotographers #photographersofbluesky #photography

What happens when you tale a camera and a UV light to the beach...? This is something I hope to discover very soon. Just hace to decide which beach. Where has good rock pools in Northumberland? #beaches #rockpooling #photography #bigshinylight 😁

This beautiful little gremlin has to go for a scan come tuesday. She was very unimpressed having to go to the vets on #caturday but she was a brave girl though. 😍🐾

When your husband is taking sneaky shots behind you. Lovely afternoon/evening at #derwentwaternaturereserve #powhill #Photography #nature

She looks how I feel #catsofbluesky #cats #derp #blep #tuxedocats #tuxies

Just finished my first painting of 2026, I’ce titled it ‘Woodpecker & Shadows’ - painted in watercolours. #watercolours #birdart #woodpecker 🪶

His reaction to the start of this week. #Catsofbsky

Testing a hire lens today at #washingtonwetlands. Amazing the difference an extra 200mm makes to the weight of your gear. 📸 Looks like I'll have to head back to the gym for some weight training. 😂 #photography #wetlandweekend #nature #bedtime

Hauled this over from my photography page, because I'm really looking forward to being able to do some warm, spring photography again soon. 💚🐝🌱🌳🪻🐦 #springtime #woodlands #photography #nature. Spiralshellimages.bluesky.social

Had a multiplayer session of BG3 earlier. I'd never realised before how important it is to play a game like this with someone who appreciates the same aspects of a game. #gaming #baldursgate3 #bg3 #rpg #narrativedrivengaming

All initial drafts of my five writing tasks are done. Only editing on the PC is left to do. Please tell me I'm not the only one who still prefers to hand write their first draft! (Even if I can't read my own writing). Also, why are cold feet so distracting?! #writing #editing #handwriting

He shouted at me for ages to go to bed, then gnawed on my finger when I didn't move fast enough. #catsofbluesky #bedtime #controlledbycats #cats

When you go somewhere for the views.
