Blue lights series 4 starts tonight 👍
A narrow, snow covered road curves towards the background. A rope of white festive lights stretch across the street between the buildings. The lights of a vehicle shine blue.

Let it flow #TidesOutTuesday
Low tide on a blue sky white cloud day. A Scottish bay with green headland to the left. A River flows down the bay, the shallow water has carved rippled patterns in the sand which is stained amber by the peat. Occasional water smoothed sedimentary rocks and Caithness flagstone can be seen just below the surface. In the background the river meets the blue Atlantic Ocean.

Here comes the sun... ☀️ Photo: Japanese anemone, earlier this week. #BNWMacro #Stunday #MonochromeMonday #MacroMonday #Macro #MacroPhotography #BloomScrolling #SmallBeauties #Gardening #Autumn #ECK #EastCoastKin
Portrait-oriented, 4:5 monochrome image.

Close up of an open Japanese anemone flower in the lower half of the frame. It has multiple petals surrounding a ring of anthers at its centre. It is backlit by the sun, which is shining through some of the delicate petals.

The background on the right is the foliage of various plants and it is out of focus.

The background on the left consists of more anemone stems and buds with the out-of-focus flower spikes of Purple Loosestrife towering over them. The Loosestrife has mostly gone to seed.

The sun is shining through the Loosestrife at the top left of the frame. The gable end of a house is also visible in the top left of the frame and clear sky with some broken white cloud in the top right of the picture.

A close of white flower. It has 5 petals with  translucent grey-green veins running down each petal. The centre is a smooth pearl like upside down teardrop which is surrounded but spikes toped by tiny yellow globes.

Heatwaves, Wildfires. Still, Reform & Conservatives want to drill for more fossil fuels & frack our land. Why? 2/3 of Reform 's donations come from fossil fuel interests. Conservatives pocketed millions from the same industry while in power act.gp/4gLVhhH

So berry sad 😪
Close-up of a hawthorn berry. The calyx looks like an open down turned mouth and two of the dried sepal tops look like eyes. The are raindrops on the berry adding to its misery 😆

Stourhead, Wiltshire, 2022. 🪨 #WindowsOnWednesday #WednesdayWindows #WallsOnWednesday #WednesdayWalls #RockinTuesday #Scape #LandscapePhotography #GardensOfBluesky #NationalTrust #ECK #EastCoastKin
Landscape oriented, 4:3 photo.

View through a window opening in the wall of a grotto. The walls that frame the window are constructed from uneven rocks, set at odd angles to give a carefully curated suggestion that this is a natural feature. However, I contrast  the rocks at the base of the window ares flattened to form a ledge.

Outside the window, an ornamental lake with dark and light patches on its rippled surface.

There are trees, in various shades of green   and a stone bridge on the far side of the lake.
