Day 17 | toad

If you know me, you'll know I love frogs and toads! I think they're the best. Super rad little guys.

One vivid memory from being a kid was watching hundreds of frogs hopping round at the edge of the field in school 🐸

Today is hatch!

I struggled for ideas with this one and I'm not sure if I'm happy with how it turned out.

Here's day 15 | aquarium

Lil fact about me is that I LOVE jellyfish.

I used to love aquariums, cause I could just watch them floating around in the water. I don't go to aquariums anymore as I don't agree with them, but I still love jellyfish.

Day 13 is marble! The best people don't have them x x

Here's a marble-less old lady. I'd love to have a cup of tea with her, perhaps with a different cup than the one in her hair, though...

Day 11 | seagull

When me and my pals were in Cornwall earlier in the year, a load of seagulls rushed my friend & stole her ice cream. They then came back for the cone! It really felt like a planned attack lol.

This one goes out to all those who've lost food from an overhead attack.

#peachtober day 8, leaf! 🍁🍂

I love walking over autumn leaves and hearing them crunch underfoot. I will absolutely move to step on a crunchy leaf.

Leaves leaves leaves, can't leaf em alone. Hope you like the little ladybird. Did you know we have 47 species of ladybird in the UK?!

Day 7 | strawberry

Is there anything better than strawberries when they're in season? So sweet and delicious. 🍓

I'll be dreaming of strawberries now...

Do you have a favourite fruit?

Something a little bit different! This was years ago and I'd kind of forgotten about it but it was a really nice day, and the prompt reminded me of it.

Fly agaric/amanita muscaria 🍄 the classic (most easily recognisable?) mushroom. I do love them, they look magical.

Exploring woodlands at this time of year is the BEST. You never know which treasures you might find hidden amongst the leaves and on the trees.
