A small waterfall on its way to the reservoir at Burrator, Dartmoor, in fine form after heavy rain last week. Flowing down the steep rocky hillside edged with ferns.

The heavy rain last week on Dartmoor meant this little waterfall was rather wonderful with the great spout at the top!

So true! I’m often asked what I’m looking for and the expectation is always a bird of some kind.

The River Dart crashing over rocks following a storm, as it flows through a wood with autumn colours and ferns growing on the trees trunk that curves over the river.

It’s almost guaranteed there’ll be a storm when we travel, but the upside of the wild, wet and windy weather last week was the rivers and streams were running full.

An image combining a photograph of my Dad in tank uniform superimposed on a weathered background along with a map of the D Day landings. Also included are his WW2 medals and insignia, his letter of commendation (what for he would never say), service book and a typed record of the approach to Belsen concentration camp. And of course a packet of Senior Service cigarettes, his constant companion.

This Remembrance Sunday I’m thinking particularly about my Dad, one of the first troops into Belsen, the mental scars of which never left him. Lest we forget.

The image is one of my successful RPS Fellowship panel, 21 images of family photos and memorabilia.

That’s a lovely one Andy! Very chilly….

Have a fab time Sophie!

The twisted oaks of this precious ancient temperate rainforest are covered in lichens and mosses. It needs thoughtful and respectful visits and we are asked to keep to the margins. Sadly, many are more interested in grabbing the perfect selfie rather than ensuring they do no damage.

This is the one of the precious rare remains of our extraordinary ancient temperate rainforest. I’m hoping to get there again while we’re that way, ideally with better conditions for photography as it was rather bright last time. It is truly awesome and needs kindly visits.

Thank you Em - your appreciation appreciated!

Thank you! They’re oystercatchers that flew up as I approached them, I love watching them running in and out with the waves.

🙏🙏🙏

A gentle view down Luskentyre with the typical curving sand pattens left by the outgoing tide and a flock of birds sweeping across the cloudy sky

We were sharing some thoughts about Harris here recently and I realised I’d not posted my favourite from one of my first visits - Rain Clearing Luskentyre.

It’s fabulous under any conditions isn’t it? One of my real old favourites is with fog. I’ve never been in the warmer months but seeing rental costs now we’re going to South Uist next year for the machair in flower.

It was your recent shots made me dip into my last visit pics - it’s very popular now but that’s because it is so very beautiful.

Oh a beach, some waves, a camera - anywhere good, Harris heaven!

A view down Luskentyre towards the Harris Hills at high tide with still reflections, mist in the hills and soft clouds in the distance.

The ever fascinating Luskentyre, this time at very high tide.

I herd ewe back Em! 😉

Much sympathy Sophie - our daughter’s flat was badly flooded two nights back when her upstairs neighbour left a bathroom tap running while he went for a 3 hour walk at night! Just does so much damage doesn’t it?

St Michael de Rupe church, built on the top of a rocky outcrop in Dartmoor with a ewe who was calling for her twin lambs by the Eater crosses. A dramatic cloudy sky hangs over the distant hills.

I’m very pleased that we’re going to take a week of RandR in Devon next month - this one from our last trip SW is of St Michael de Rupe on the edge of Dartmoor. Look closely and you’ll see a ewe, plaintively calling for her lambs. She found them in the other side of the church

Toby’s mate was dark, there’s a fabulous big print of the pair of them hanging in a cottage on the Seilebost side, which was where we first came aware of them. The mate died a few years back now, we first saw Toby in the flesh back in 2022 and he alone then. So glad he’s still there!

Oh is he still ok! We stayed with Toby a couple of years ago (ok, his humans) and he was pretty arthritic then. He’d come with the chickens and duck to say hi every morning. Makes a lovely picture doesn’t he!?

Wow - that’s a goody. I love those curvy white lines on the black Sophie, would make some great detail shots.

Thank you!🙏

Thank you! It is lovely and it’s a very easy site to get to, which is a bonus. There’s a good pub in the village too

Cauldron Falls in full force dropping over a rock ledge under autumn yellow trees into the river which flows out past a stones outcrop on the left.

It’s going to be a while before we can get back to any falls as Mr B’s new knee shapes up, so here’s the splendid Cauldron Falls from a while back for #WaterfallWednesday this week

Oo that’s lovely Em - looks like a great lump of gold!

Moored yatchts reflected in the still waters of Windermere with the distant hill gently bathed in soft mist.

A calm misty scene from Windermere to welcome autumn

Some spreads from the book.

A row of rather worn blue and white stripped deckchairs facing out to sea with gulls flying over.

A friend has just reminded me of Beer, in Devon, which we visited off season when it was rather lovely in a melancholic way. The English seaside has a particular charm off season!

Oh that made me smile Mick - although I confess the response ‘or grouse’ flitted through my mind

Oh that’s lovely Mick! We’ll be back that way next year, hopefully when Mr B has two functioning knees again…
