#JoinMeOnMyWalk After watching a sunny start through the office window it clouded over by lunchtime so I walked a different path, finding fabulously coloured turkey tails, wood blewits & redlead roundheads, golden beech, and pretty flowers in #Lancashire today. @photohour.bsky.social #joy

#JoinMeOnMyWalk Finally the rain stopped and the sun came out (albeit only til lunchtime!) Unseasonably warm at 15.5°, probably why the red admiral and hoverflies were able to take advantage of fruit & flowers. Beautiful fungi & autumn colours too. @photohour.bsky.social #Lancashire #joy

Yippee! It's a #butterfly day! 😍🤩🎉🦋 beautiful and bright in #Preston til late morning then clouded over, so very surprised and delighted to see a red admiral feeding on very rotten apples on my lunch walk. ♥️ @savebutterflies.bsky.social #Lancashire #joy
