Bit of politics. Bit of art and photography. Bit of shenanigans. Bit of feminism. My creative life is a full one 🌊

Pet photography makes me so happy, especially when the subject trusts me with having the camera very close to their face 😻

Sapphire

Basel, Switzerland. October 2025
This gorgeous peacock was walking around the flowers like he owned the place. Just the perfect setting for a bit of mysterious shot.

Picture of a stunning peacock with blue feathers, in a dark flower field. The flowers are pink and white. The overall feel is moody and mysterious.

This lovely is Saffy, she was adopted by my friend in Feb and I’ve looked after her 3 times now. She was mistreated at her previous home and she arrived scared of humans. The first few times I tried to get too close she slapped me.
Yesterday she climbed onto my lap and demanded a cuddle 🥲 I cried.

Ouse Valley Viaduct in Sussex, among the green trees of the English Spring. Built in 1841 and described as “probably the most elegant viaduct in Britain." I agree.

Trump’s tariffs are taking all the attention right now. So I might take a step back and make a parallel here.

Is there no end to inhumanity? America, why are you doing this too?
This is truly awful for words.
Prisoners and American deportees in the El Salvadorian prison. In metal bunk beds and stripped to their underwear. Prisoners in Auschwitz, 1945. All packed in wooden beds.

An amber aerial shot of Richmond Park in London, on a very cold January morning at sunrise. Golden hour and the fog make the trees look mysterious, and the whole scene dreamy and nostalgic.
