The past fortnight just gone has seen some gorgeous weather and some great wild spots. Even with the cloudier weather at the beginning of last week I still managed to get out and about find some lovely things to document for this year's challenge. I have to say though, towards the end of this week's … Continue reading 30 Days Wild: Days 13 – 19
Over the past week the UK has been bathing in a gorgeous but sweltering heatwave. Up here in the Lake District the humidity in the air created near rainforest conditions, especially up in the forested areas near Whinlatter and Dodd Wood, while along the coastline it's been bright sunshine and blue skies with just the … Continue reading Scenes of Summer
Wildflower meadows come to life during the springtime, but as the grass grows and we move into summer they take on a charm all of their own as many of the flowers begin to die off and the grasses take over. While I adore visiting these types of fields when they're in full bloom, my … Continue reading Meadow Bright

Workington Port is one of the nicest places to visit during the summertime, especially when the tide is in and the seagulls and the resident heron are out and about! It's a great place to go and take five minutes out of the day to relax, and with it being so close, Mum and I … Continue reading Sunny Portside Afternoons
Nothing screams summer to me more than seagulls circling the clouds, soaring on the warm, summer thermals, wheeling, diving and generally owning the skies around town. The photos in the collage above were all taken while I was out around sunset and I was watching the seagulls fighting over food they'd found, chasing eachother through … Continue reading Masters Of The Sky
I have to confess that I have been feeling it lately. With everything that has been happening all over the world, I have often felt hopeless and saddened. Sometimes the world feels unrecognisable, even though I know there is much that is good in the world, it has been getting me down recently. I know … Continue reading Joyful Moments: May
June is always a good month because 30 Days Wild always helps to brighten it, and I'm so glad it's that's time of year again! This will be the third year I take part, and I'm going to follow the same structure of these weekly posts that I did over on my old blog last … Continue reading 30 Days Wild: Days 1 – 5
Spring brings with it many a wonderful thing. Tiny, gambolling lambs, blue skies, light showers, warm breezes, bumbling bees and cute, fluffy fledglings. All of these sights have been on my radar for the past couple of months, and I've spent many hours keeping my eyes peeled for all of the usual sights of spring … Continue reading Spring In Bloom
