Give me nature, animals, music, vegan food, Coventry City FC and I'm happy! I run a small Gallery selling my husband's Landscape Photography on the Isle of Wight.

The results from last night's walk 😁

Last night's moonrise over Brighstone and Windy Corner. It was fab being out amongst the sounds of nature 😁 #isleofwight #photography

The moon rising above coastal farmland, a village in the foreground. The sea is reflecting the moon.

Tranquility at Bembridge Lifeboat Station. #Photography #IsleofWight

A muted blue, pink and lilac sunset reflected in a flat calm sea. A bright red rowing boat is moored beside an imposing lifeboat station.

Fabulous! I hope @ianprowse.bsky.social will return to Strings on the Isle of Wight one day. Such great memories from that night 🎶

I spent yesterday evening patiently waiting for the moon to appear, whilst my husband achieved a shot that he's been after for a few years.

Full moon last night, taken just after it rose over Whitecroft #moon #photography #isleofwight

A thin domed tower, emerging from some trees. The full moon glows directly above it, just as night falls

It was a lovely walk this afternoon, worth the tingly nettle stung legs and hayfever sneezes 😉

Carisbrooke Castle overlooking a field of poppies. Not a bad view on our Sunday stroll today! #LandscapePhotography #IsleofWight #CarisbrookeCastle #Poppies

Poppies in the foreground on a slope, opposite sits a castle on a green hillside.

We went for a beautiful late evening stroll with the camera last night 😊

Sunset and low tide, at Bembridge Lifeboat Station yesterday #landscapephotography #isleofwight

Gentle pinks, yellows and orange in a grey blue sky over a lifeboat station at low tide. Seaweed is visible in the rock pools and the lifeboat is moored in the distance.

I'm not usually one for fireworks, but it was quite a sight up on the cliff tonight.

Available Light Photography @availablelightp.bsky.social · Apr 19

Fireworks over Sandown Bay this evening. These were postponed from New year's Eve, the weather was kinder tonight! #IsleofWight #photography

A huge gold firework above a pier. A coastal town is lit at nightfall. Reflections are on the wet sand and the sea.

A moonlit Needles taken during the full moon from a couple of weeks ago. The moonlight was so strong that it highlighted the textures in the chalk cliffs. #IsleofWight #LandscapePhotography

Night falls over a chalk cliff and rocks. A red and white lighthouse guards the rocks. Moonlight illuminates the scene.

Another Waterboys classic! This band have enchanted me for 40 years and show no signs of stopping. Brilliant, exceeded even my high expectations.

The crescent moon looked incredible last night. Earthshine gave the appearance of the moon being full. It was too dark to capture the Needles in the distance, but it was fun to be out. #IsleofWight #Moon #Photography

A large moon, in an almost dark sky with the illumination of a distant city. Several coastguard cottages are closer in the view, a headland and a lighthouse in the middle space.
