When you manage to match your outfit to the colour of the season.

Golden sunset gives way to a post-storm sky of white little bubbling cirrostratus and cirrocumulus

I don’t share photos from my phone often but this post-storm sky this evening is spectacular!

Good Saturday morning

Wishing you a peaceful and pleasant day...

Two photos of one cloud. 1 shows what the cloud inspired me to draw. My 1st Cloudthing was a helicopter on 10 June 2018 and I have been doing them ever since, some are old, some are new, some I spend 5 minutes on, some I spend 20 minutes on. Frivolous fleeting fun because why not. 😺☁️.

Hug yer moggy!

For when you need to breathe...

Find your balance

A breathtaking sunset bathes RSPB Arne in golden light, casting a warm glow over a sea of vibrant heather and lush green ferns. A lone pine tree stands tall in the foreground, its dark silhouette contrasting against the soft pink and orange hues of the sky. The landscape stretches into the distance, dotted with scattered trees, as the last rays of sunlight streak through the branches. A scene full of colour, warmth, and the quiet magic of a late summer evening.

Lighter evenings incoming… ☀️

In just four weeks, the sun will be setting after 7pm, giving us more time for birdsong, golden skies, and peaceful walks...

This morning’s sunshine has reminded me of the word ‘philocaly’: a love of beauty, even in the smallest things.

Nothing says spring is coming like snowdrops! ❄️🌿

Perched on a slender branch, this Blue Tit appears both adorable and slightly grumpy. Its vivid blue cap and yellow chest stand out against the soft green blur of the background. With its tiny feet gripping the branch and head tilted slightly downward, it looks like it’s deep in thought...or judging your birdwatching skills!

Just 2 days to go until the #BigGardenBirdwatch kicks off!

Bold Blue Tits ranked 2nd in last year's results... could they take the top spot this time? 💙

Don’t forget to unplug when you need to. Turn off the TV, throw the phone into the sea, and just exist as the human being on a flying rock in space that you are (that we ALL are).

Word of the Day is ‘hunch-weather’ (19th century): weather so cold it makes you hunch your shoulders when you walk outside.

Holnicote: 'Abundance' of wildlife a year on from river reset The National Trust says the estate on Exmoor is "full of life" one year on from a river project.

Over the past few years, National Trust rangers have worked hard to create wetlands at Holnicote Estate, helping to slow the flow of the River Aller. 🌊

A year on and it's so inspiring to see the abundance of wildlife that has returned to the area!

Word of the day is a favourite for this time of year. To be ‘crambazzled’, in old Yorkshire dialect, is to be prematurely aged by excess drinking or partying.

The sky is wide open and mainly blue and white. There is some gold where the sun is coming up. The contrast comes from an entire row of silhouetted trees along the bottom of the image.

Good Friday morning

Wishing you time today for large thoughts...
