I’m dreaming of doing this again. For the last few weeks the weather’s been too rough, but hopefully it’ll settle down soon. 🤞🏽

There are lots of berries for them, which is very good news!

I’m pretty sure I heard my first Redwing last night…

I haven’t created any art for a loooong time. My inner critic got too loud, causing me to abandon art entirely. But a few months ago I took up a new hobby - and whoosh! Inspiration flooded in, and I felt compelled to take up my soft pastels again. 🪂

Hellooo! Sorry, I’ve been really naff with Bluesky of late.

I think one term might be a nephophile? That means someone who is in love with clouds. ⛅️

Before the stormy weather passed through this morning there were some fantastic clouds around. An early show of Asperitas clouds gave way to a fiery sunrise. Worth standing in the rain for!

Awh, thanks Sivi! Those pebbles are beautiful. Such wonderful colours.

Gosh, I’ve been really rubbish at posting on Bluesky. Here’s a sketch of a Nightjar egg to say sorry.
