Nothing feels more personal and special than opening a card with someone’s own handwriting inside.

Nature-themed Christmas cards, created from my photography, are now available on my website. Please see the thread for the link.

My Little Garden 22nd November 2025
My Little Garden 22nd November 2025 After our annual jaunt in search of winter sun, I’ve been feeling a little chilly back at home. When I left there were leaves on the trees, and a few flowers …

A honeybee making the most of the ever popular ivy flowers 🌱🐝

#InsectThursday #BugSky #Inverts #MacroPhotography #Bloomscrolling #UKWildlife #nature #autumn
A side on close up of a honeybee, with a fully loaded pollen basket on her leg, as she feeds on ivy flowers, this was taken just before the weather changed from mild and damp to wet and windy and now cold and frosty so probably the last flying critter of the year

Earlier on the expedition we found the most beautiful flower, and here, my friends, is the biggest: Rafflesia arnoldi seen in full bloom today in the Sumatran jungle. This is the largest flower on earth and one of the greatest wonders of the natural world.

I have several large pots of Gerbera daises that while hardy I put them in the small cold greenhouse and they bloom off and on through the winter. 😍

#Colocasia esculenta aka #taro

The first frosts will arrive, so it's time to harvest the taro. This was my first attempt, starting with just one tuber, and I got over 2 kg! Fantastic. 😀🌱

I even kept a few young plants for the 2026 crop.
