Photographer, walker and socialist living in Coniston, love France and Switzerland.
It is the first day of meteorological spring tomorrow, so I went looking for it this afternoon on the shores of Coniston.

High levels of water in the lake, low light levels and a gusty wind. Just a normal winters day in Coniston.

Reform pledge to scrap the Equality act. If they do so you can be discriminated against or abused at work, in education or in the public. For Age, Disability, Gender reassignment, Marriage status, Pregnancy, Race, Religion. Sex or Sexual orientation. Doesn't sound good to me.

The light was a bit flat when I was on the lake shore, so I took pictures of the wildfowl instead of landscapes. Then just as I was getting into my car, this happened. Coniston Water 4/2/26

Along the River Kent this afternoon. The snowdrops seem to like the environment of the old gunpowder works 😊

Looking very wintery in Yewdale Woods this morning, but underneath the leaf litter, new bluebell shoots are breaking through, in readiness for spring 😊

Sometimes as the sun sets, if I look across the lake (Coniston) the forest takes on a fabulous glow. I thought I had missed this one as I scrabbled for my camera, but some of it is still there 😊

A dark, grey and still day. I took a short walk down to the lake to see if there was anything to photograph.

On a path close to Grasmere, a beautiful piece of Lakeland slate, from Elterwater quarry I think. A shame I put my boot print on it before realising how photogenic it was 😂

All quiet in Coniston this morning and ‘normal’ levels of water in the beck, but the weather forecast suggests it could be full tomorrow morning.
