A view up into the trees on a bright spring morning. The sky is barely visible due to the number of tree branches creating complex overlapping patterns. Some of the branches towards the left have a interesting purple hue. Not sure if it was the morning light or actually a lens aberration :)

I forgot about #ForestFriday for a while.

This was a few days ago in Cruagh Woods. I keep coming back to this but not sure why. It's not like it's a great pic or anything. I think it's the complexity of it that attracts me.

Who fancies waking up to this? Come camping on our farm and wake up to the best view in Wales (in our very humble opinion!)

Hereโ€™s a sunrise overlooking the Many Glacier Lodge at Glacier National Park in Montana. The Rocky Mountains glow and Swiftcurrent Lake rests behind the historic lodge

Redirecting...

I have set up a FP profile to reflect my fascination with the US and a lifestyle that is there that just cannot get here in the UK.

Large branches on an old tree trail down towards the brown grass on the ground - the limbs lit up in the morning sun.

A man (the poster) in a check shirt and a green hat beside a green tent pitched on faded grass with brown heather slopes in the background and a blue sky with some streaks of cloud.

Camp Sunday morning. An interesting trip. Substack/blog post coming up in the next few days and possibly a video (haven't seen what I took yet!).

The weekend starts here!

More sunlight on the rocks at Hellnar at sunrise a couple of weeks ago. Wish I was still there.

Fish I will eat, anything with more than four legs, nope.

Ramadan Kareem everyone! To all my Muslim brothers and sisters.

Stunning mountain layers with silhouetted peaks, bathed in soft grey and yellow tones, creating a serene and dramatic landscape.

From a point east of Mt. Hood, the sky shows bands of high clouds glowing in shades of orange and yellow. Left of center is a snowcapped Mt. Hood, nearly completely white. Below it are shadowy forested hills and a faint view of the Columbia River.

A coastal scene with some dark jagged rock with some almost red sunrise light reflecting on it. In the foreground is the sea, and through the arch some waves have broken on the cliff walls, and are now receding.

Sunrise light on the rock arch at Hellnar - not easy to photograph, but a lot of fun to watch the waves crashing through :)

Still wintry on Cairn Gorm Stormy to the west Late February and the Cairngorms donโ€™t look very wintry from afar. Only patches of snow can be seen. But the lack of snow...
