This tree in a local village is looking particularly spectacular this year #trees
Looking along a road in a village. There are some large trees on the right. Most are dark green but the largest in the foreground has pale green leaves which are glowing in the bright sunshine. The sky is blue with only wisps of white cloud

The road verge outside our house. I’m rather proud of it - the result of maybe 3 or 4 years worth of #NoMowSummer

@tutty352.bsky.social visited the dig at Carlisle Cricket club yesterday - they’ve uncovered a very nice piece of wall. Today is the last day for a while and much of it will be filled in again. So many finds indicating it was a very important place yet they seem to struggle with funding 🤷🏻‍♀️

An extra wide ‘spot the features’ photo (clues in alt text) for #FingerpostFriday
A rural gated driveway entrance. A backdrop of dark trees and a road in the foreground. Starting from the left - fence with small wooden stile, small postbox on a pole, large stone gatepost, open gateway, large stone gatepost with metal gate swung back, fence wth notice on it. To the extreme right of the photo is a tall fingerpost painted in alternating black and white bands. Behind the post is some blue sky with fluffy cloud, green fields and distant cloud. If you zoom right in on the bottom of the right hand gatepost you might just make out the arrow shape of an OS benchmark.

Don’t know if you can make out the slightly odd effect with this line of white cloud against a deep blue sky. They look like they are wisping over the tops of a high mountain range, but it’s just the shape of their lower edges #clouds #weather

Holiday finale 🤩 At least it will be if our ferry runs tomorrow, though the ‘technical issue’ has hopefully been fixed. Someone will have been working their socks off to get things running again so 🙏🏻 #Mull

An area of green grass in the lower half of the photo. To the right a small group of chickens are pecking around in front of a wooden picnic bench. In the background there are mountains, the highest on the left. Fluffy white clouds are above them and the sky is very blue. It is evening and shadows are long

Peachy pink clouds, a vague sunset rainbow, and a touch of chilly North Pennine helm-ishness #clouds #weather
A thick horizontal band of soft cloud, peachy pink from the setting sun against a backdrop of blue. Distant low hills, dark trees in the foreground.Soft cloud, peachy pink from the setting sun. In the centre are the barely discernible colours of a short section of rainbow. Distant low hills, dark trees in the foreground.

Stringy rolls here today - a local delicacy 😉 That helm wind is 🥶 after you’ve just started getting used to a bit of warmth from the sun!
The edge of a tilled field of brown soil, green fields beyond leading to higher ground and misty, bare looking hills. There are sunlit trees that aren’t in full leaf yet, a particularly large one right foreground. The sky is blue and above the hills three horizontal clouds stretch across like thick ropes, dark underneath and light on top

Head in the clouds? #cloud #weather
Blue sky with lots of big clouds, warm white and grey from the setting sun. The central mass of cloud is a little like a head in profile, with voluminous hair (or fur?) and looking right. Some tree silhouettes low down.

How the mighty have fallen @lakesstiles.bsky.social
A field of rough grass with a fenced railway and winter bare trees on the left. The sky is blue but cloudy. We are looking towards a very wide grey metal field gate. It should have 7 horizontal bars supported by diagonals, but the top bar has rusted and broken, hanging down at an angle.

Cloud like a twisted rope today #weather #cloud
Blue sky, darker at the top and gradually becoming paler lower down. There are two large leafless trees in silhouette, one at each side of the photo. At the bottom there’s a very dark band, a hint of fields and distant trees. Just above this is a long, thin, horizontal line of cloud that looks like it has been twisted. There is some brightness from sunshine on the left.

Share a photo of mountains that you’ve taken
Looking along a road in winter that has some bare hedge and trees on either side and snow, but not on the road which is dark. There is a line of small red and white traffic bollards to the left of the road. Directly ahead is a mountain that is covered in snow. Bright sunshine casts many shadows on it. The cloudless sky is deep blue. The mountain is called  Blencathra, also known as Saddleback because of its distinctive shape.

Another combo to cover #FingerpostFriday #StileSaturday
Rural scene, late winter, bare trees in the distance. An old stone wall with rounded capping stones and a gap with two stone block steps to access it. There is lichen and moss on the wall. Rough vegetation in front, a field absolutely full of dug up swedes for sheep behind. No sheep visible. To the right is a tall wooden fingerpost. There is a warning notice on it about keeping dogs under control.

Tall photo. Combining #stile and #FingerpostFriday
A rather decrepit wooden stile with tangled winter vegetation around it. Two small planks make the steps on a short piece of fence. It’s all damp, mossy and mouldy. The tall wooden fingerpost stands to the right, and to the right of that a green metal fence with a fan shape on top. It borders a railway which is much higher up.

Unexpected sunset after a damp and dismal day #clouds #lenticular
Dark cigar shaped clouds against a sunset sky. Pale blue morphing into orange gold nearer the horizon. There are some birds flying across, just visible as small black dots, and electricity wires stretch across the photo. At the bottom of the picture there are the silhouetted outlines of trees.

This is who runs this account
A little girl, maybe 2 or 3 yrs old. She is wearing very wide legged dungarees, a light coloured jumper and socks with sandals. Her hair is shortish, blown back a little by a breeze, and her face is scrunched up because the sun is shining on it. Her older brother is only partially visible to the left of the photo. He is holding her hand.

So here is probably the zillionth photo of this (and it’s a tall one btw) but I don’t care because it’s mine. All mine! 🤪🤪🤪 #FullMoon2026 #WolfMoon2026
In the foreground, and low in the photo, is a field with some grazing sheep dotted about. It is dusk and large trees are silhouetted on either side against a dark blue-grey cloudless sky. Just above the trees there is a huge golden yellow full moon. It looks big because it is still relatively near the horizon.
