These dainty little Aster blooms have been gifting me so much joy since their petals began unfurling a few days ago 🥰 They looked particularly beautiful this morning, cloaked in a fine mist of tiny water droplets, with their colour popping so vibrantly beneath an overcast, grey sky ❤️ #DailyNature

The Comfrey has enjoyed a little revival along our local riverbank, as this bountiful plant gives one final flourish before the season's end 🥰 They added a wonderful splash of colour to our wander today & are proving a welcome source of pollen & nectar for the Bumblebees too 🐝❤️ #WildflowerHour

They were so incredibly beautiful they brought a tear to my eye 🥹❤️ Aren't trees just magical at this time of year, when their leaves are gradually transforming into autumn splendour, but they're still holding on to the last colour of summer 😍

Everything's feeling so wonderfully autumnal, on this first day of meteorological #autumn 🍁🍂🧡🍄 With massing Jackdaws noisily gathering, & a Robin just beginning its sweet song, it's the perfect evening to light a beautiful candle, get cosy, & welcome in my favourite season of all 🥰

Isn't it just! 😍 I don't think I've ever seen anything in the natural world with this particular, striking hue. It looked so beautiful in the sunshine ❤️

I hadn't ever realised quite how beautiful flowering Common Reed was 😍 Their feathery, iridescent purple flowers have been a real highlight on our wanders this week ❤️ #WildflowerHour @wildflowerhour.bsky.social @bsbibotany.bsky.social #NaturePhotography #Photography #Wildflowers #UKNature

There's nothing quite like the peace of a wild village #churchyard 🌿 Beneath the shade of the churchyard's trees, with the ancient church spire towering above us, we quietly watched a Collared Dove thoughtfully gather the perfect sticks for its nest somewhere nearby ❤️ #NatureWriting #Photography

I've been trying hard this year to tackle the IDs of some of the #wildflower species I've always struggled to differentiate, but this week's #WildflowerHour pick has stumped me. I'm thinking it might be Bristly Oxtongue, but would appreciate any #WildflowerID help ❤️ #NaturePhotography #Photography

A gathering of Marsh Woundwort growing tall amongst the dense greenery of the riverbank, where a young Reed Warbler chirred continuously as it slowly made its way into the safety of the deep, dense reeds 🌿 ❤️ #NaturePhotography #Photography #UKNature #Nature #DailyNature #Wildflowers #Birdwatching

Only visited the old railway line at Narborough once, but found it absolutely enchanting. I still remember all the bounty of butterflies, and it's wonderful to see there's still so many about. Beautiful photos Steve ☺️

So glad you're home now Jane, and I'm so pleased you've still managed to find little ways to connect to Nature whilst you've been in hospital. There's certainly nothing better to aid the healing process ❤️ I really hope your recovery's going well & that you'll be back to wildness soon xx

It's always wonderful to happen upon patches of wildness in unexpected places 🥰 This beautifully wild tangle of Bindweed & #blackberries gifted a little joy in a garden centre car park, attracting #bumblebees & a stunning Comma ❤️ #NaturePhotography #Photography #Insects #Butterflies #UKNature

"Along the high ridge of the Bedfordshire Chilterns, a sweeping, intimate valley lies, its steep, sun-soaked heights juxtaposed so wonderfully against an opposing slope of dense, tall trees, hiding the welling spring at the valley’s bottom" Words from: awildwanderer.substack.com/p/a-look-bac...
