Oh wow I fear though that once there I will be lost in stick review reading for a good few hours.

Proper #Summer weather this past week, blazing sun, pouring rain, windy and the chance of a rainbow. Still plenty to see out and about, the #dandelions are bouncing back, seem to appreciate the rain at last. #wildwebswednesday #NatureCommunity

Summer evenings in the woods, birds having a last shout, the roe deer watching, time well spent 😊 #thicktrunktuesday #TreeClub #Trees

Verdant greens, textures of fern, beech and oak leaves. Trunks of trees punctuate and bright spots of gold and white break through as the sun drops low.

Have a lovely #SundayYellow everyone, the textures of sow thistles always stand out so well when caught by the sunlight. #wildflowers

These are my favourite pieces of glass in this window - yes! The dandelions - can you spot them?

#InsectThursday is here, and there are lots about. Green eyed flower bees sooooooo zoomy, and I think Lissonota lineolaris also a fidget both made me giddy 🤣 #Insects #NaturePhotography #flies #pollinators #PollinatorWeek

Happy #wildwebswednesday got excited when it finally rained last week. Dashed out to see the raindrops on the flowers. Nice to be seeing roosting butterflies on evening strolls. Seeds and seed heads are throwing some amazing shapes too. #dandelion #wildflowers #NaturePhotography

Ahhhhh and relax. A walk in the dappled light beneath a canopy of dancing green leaves. Cooler here as the sun beat down on Saturday. Thanks #trees 😊. #thicktrunktuesday #NaturePhotography #NatureInspired

Tiny #bees in #dandelions and ants hauling borage seeds from a bright orange gazania, so many #pollinators can easily go unseen. #Ladybirds and their larvae are everywhere it seems right now. Lots of #butterflies inc some very fresh red admirals and skippers. #InsectThursday

@savebutterflies.bsky.social Wow, how long are those antennae compared to the main body of the moth! Yellow Barred Longhorn Moth, I believe. #Moths #MothsMatter #Insects

The rain has refreshed the plants, and the colours are really zingy. Happy #SundayYellow one and all. #dandelions, #Buttercup , corn marigold and catsear with a hopeful crab spider for good measure 😊 #wildflowers

It really makes me chuckle when I find them peaking around a grass stem. Look like little aliens.
