Oh wow I fear though that once there I will be lost in stick review reading for a good few hours.

Stick man is finding this hot weather a bit much 🤣. Happy #thicktrunktuesday folks. #tree

Last week or so since we had some rain they have started to bloom again.

Proper #Summer weather this past week, blazing sun, pouring rain, windy and the chance of a rainbow. Still plenty to see out and about, the #dandelions are bouncing back, seem to appreciate the rain at last. #wildwebswednesday #NatureCommunity

Verdant greens, textures of fern, beech and oak leaves. Trunks of trees punctuate and bright spots of gold and white break through as the sun drops low.

Summer evenings in the woods, birds having a last shout, the roe deer watching, time well spent 😊 #thicktrunktuesday #TreeClub #Trees

Have a lovely #SundayYellow everyone, the textures of sow thistles always stand out so well when caught by the sunlight. #wildflowers

These are my favourite pieces of glass in this window - yes! The dandelions - can you spot them?

These are fab, really like the treatment lots of energy.

Happy #SundayYellow folks, let the #dandelions bring the sunshine 🌞 ☀️

#InsectThursday is here, and there are lots about. Green eyed flower bees sooooooo zoomy, and I think Lissonota lineolaris also a fidget both made me giddy 🤣 #Insects #NaturePhotography #flies #pollinators #PollinatorWeek

Happy #wildwebswednesday got excited when it finally rained last week. Dashed out to see the raindrops on the flowers. Nice to be seeing roosting butterflies on evening strolls. Seeds and seed heads are throwing some amazing shapes too. #dandelion #wildflowers #NaturePhotography

Ahhhhh and relax. A walk in the dappled light beneath a canopy of dancing green leaves. Cooler here as the sun beat down on Saturday. Thanks #trees 😊. #thicktrunktuesday #NaturePhotography #NatureInspired

Happy #SundayYellow folks!

🤣 Oh, it's been a while since I read Tolkein.

Tiny #bees in #dandelions and ants hauling borage seeds from a bright orange gazania, so many #pollinators can easily go unseen. #Ladybirds and their larvae are everywhere it seems right now. Lots of #butterflies inc some very fresh red admirals and skippers. #InsectThursday

This oak tree is always peeping over the hedge at me 🤣 #thicktrunktuesday #TreeClub #Trees

Happy Monday folks, spotted this thick thighed beetle on a #dandelion yesterday. Not so many dandelions out on my walking routes at the moment but lots of these beautiful jewel like beetles! #nature #springwatch #NaturePhotography #beetles

#PeaFamilyChallenge #wildflowerhour late as usual folks, hope you have had a good weekend. #wildflowers

🤣 I know right, this little fella looked pretty windswept in a light breeze.

@savebutterflies.bsky.social Wow, how long are those antennae compared to the main body of the moth! Yellow Barred Longhorn Moth, I believe. #Moths #MothsMatter #Insects

The rain has refreshed the plants, and the colours are really zingy. Happy #SundayYellow one and all. #dandelions, #Buttercup , corn marigold and catsear with a hopeful crab spider for good measure 😊 #wildflowers

A dandelion and a lot of forget-me-nots

A dandelion daring to stand out in a field of forget-me-nots, for tonights #wildflowerhour #WildFlowerShow

#SundayYellow #Bloomscrolling 🌱

It really makes me chuckle when I find them peaking around a grass stem. Look like little aliens.

Its #InsectThursday and I just love all the amazing shapes, colours and textures. The wasp bottom right was stunning might post separately another day. #pollinators #bees #Beetles #dragonflies

Happy #WildWebsWednesday folks, happy duck spotting. Mallard clearly thought it was invisible 😅. Proud parent alert, son attended DofE award event at Buckingham Pal recently. He found the wild parts of the garden and #dandelions and goslings #Wildlife bottom right 3 images.

Little walk in the woods as the evening drew in, the canopy is so lush and green at the moment. Have a great #thicktrunktuesday wherever you may be. #TreeClub #trees #NaturePhotography

Yes that's the one. Made me almost forget to photograph the orchids! Thanks everso.

You did better than me, mine were all blurred and the swearbox is over flowing 😅
