With the spring #tide, the banks doth floweth over and it becomes #Thames upon #Richmond. But the local animals are pretty used to that by now! Thanks to @thamespathnt.bsky.social for the tidal-tipoff! #ThamesPath #NaturePhotography #Walktober #photography

I don't think I'll ever grow tired of #sunset on the #Thames #Walktober #London #ThamesPath #photography

Of course, my #Walktober wanders aren't always A to B - sometimes I walk around a place. Sunday was #LondonZoo with especial attention to the #reptile house, as I was watching Antony & Cleopatra that evening. #LoveLondonWalkLondon #WildlifePhotography

When the #moon took a lover in posh Belgravia, she loved to talk with him all night long. The neighbours hated it - all 'statutory nuisance' this and 'unreasonably and substantially interfere with the use or enjoyment' that. "Ahhh, but you see" said he "Ancient lights." #Walktober #NightPhotography

My #walktober wander yesterday took me from Harrow on the Hill to Stanmore, via the tomb where #Byron lay for inspiration, and onto Bentley Priory nature reserve, with its longhorns and #deer. #Wildlife #LoveLondonWalkLondon #photography

One of the ideas behind #Walktober is keeping on #walking as the nights get darker, colder, wetter. I love a nightwalk, and don't feel the cold that much (there's privledge there, I know). But it's nice to be reminded to go see the darkness 🖤 #NightPhotography #fox #NaturePhotography #London

#London is a city perpetually creating itself out of chaos. A.S. Byatt (possibly) There's always something… no, a lot of different somethings going on, all at once - and my #Walktober wanders show me a lot. Here, a protest behind me and a closed main road ahead. #StreetPhotography

It's #Walktober so I'm doing a #walk every day, and sharing what I see. It's always a whirligig of interesting sights, like this #StreetArt last night (artist unknown). Along with somewhere in the region of fifteen foxes! Credit to @gojauntly.bsky.social for inspiring me to a month of walks!

As a rule I keep politics off here but sometimes an incident needs highlighting, an experience needs to be seen, a person needs their voice shared. I'm sixty years old and this country is in a worse place than I've ever seen.

"Ah, my sweet princess, you've come to save me! … what do you mean you're just here to go skinny-dipping in the Roxbourne?? I may look like a plastic amphibian but I'm really ROYALTY! … oh, you're anti-monarchist? Shit." #WeirdLondon #TellingStories #LondonsRivers

One gate stands open, friendly, welcoming. The other closed, steadfast blocking, confining. Look carefully at their signs A babbling creature there was confused why I found this pairing so compelling. Bade me promise not to reveal the location of its lair… #psychogeography #photography #London

I thought it was strange seeing horseshoes on so many houses when walking the Roxbourne. Should I be worried? … then I realised my camera had stopped working there, 'til I got to the park where the #river flowed freely amid the grass and trees. Should *they* be worried? #Psychogeography #London

This is what happens if you leave your escalator design to Robin Goodfellow because that's "Such a trustable name." Want to get out of the station? Afraid you're a bit Pucked. #Shakespeare #LondonUnderground #photography #London #ShakespeareSunday

"Is that a #CCTV camera or an ion cannon?" shouldn't be a question I'm asking. And yet. #London #Photography #Sunset

I’ll be liveposting this so you don’t have to watch it. Dr Mary-Ann Stephenson has a history of involvement in the anti-trans movement in the UK, from signing the Let Women Speak letter, to attending A Woman’s Place conferences. Let’s see if the committee ask her about any of that 👇
