A single 400-year-old ancient oak produces 234,000 litres of oxygen a year while soaking up carbon dioxide, and can support more than 2,000 species of bird, insect, fungus, and lichen. Nature is amazing - we need more of it, not less. Please repost if you agree 🌳

A glorious September walk. #walking Tree guarding a kissing gate.
A path leading to a metal kissing gate. Trees to the left and right are lit by golden September sunshine. The tree to the left of the gate is particularly prominent against the blue sky and sun lit leaves beyond.

Gorgeous evening #sunset Keep on truckin'
Looking into the setting sun from a bridge over a dual carriageway. The sun is reflecting off the right-hand carriageway turning the road orange. The road is empty apart from a lorry driving towards me on the right in the foreground.

I do love an evening walk, especially at this time of year when summer is trying to cling on for that little bit longer. #trees #woods #walking Sunshine through the trees.
Looking into the evening sun shining through trees at the edge of a wood. Shadows are cast across the path ahead which leads to a gate into a sunny field beyond.

I know he's very busy being a bee but if he could just hold still while I took a picture it would be helpful. Bee and cyclamen.

Autumn crocuses are up, although not actually crocuses but Colchicums. Also called meadow saffron but they're not what you get saffron from and are in fact toxic. Alternatively known as naked ladies as they're without leaves at time of flowering. Lovely whatever you call them! #flowers
Lilac purple flowers which looks like wide open crocuses.

Nearing the top of a hill, first hint of autumn colour in the bracken and lovely pillowy clouds in the distance. #walking
Reaching the top of a steep stony path which continues ahead, bracken just starting to turn orange is on the left and trees overhang the path from the right. The sun is shining, the sky is blue and the tops of shower clouds can be seen beyond the bracken.

The pot luck of an unknown path - this one was pretty hard going. #walking Steep flint track.
Steep track, looking uphill. The path is covered with large, loose flints which are difficult to walk on.

The footpath goes straight through this chest high bramble thicket. Luckily as I was struggling downhill there was a man struggling uphill wielding a pair of secateurs! #walking Looking back through the brambles.

Rainbow at sunset last night with interesting colour contrasts to the clouds.
Right-hand side of a double rainbow the clouds inside the arch are pinker than the grey clouds outside the arch.Left-hand side of a rainbow framed by trees. The outer arch is very faint. The clouds inside the arch are pink and those outside are lilac grey.

Dark threatening sky, sound of distant thunder getting closer. It fizzled out before it got here - but it did rain and the clouds were dramatic so can't complain. #clouds #rain Thunderstorm approaching (then fails to live up to expectations)
View of the sky above trees and a house roof. Blue sky with grey clouds backlit by the sun and an approaching dark thundercloud in the distance.

I got a bit obsessed with taking pictures of the most recent full moon - looking back over them I'm impressed by the variety. Moon 26th, 28th, 29th and 31st July 2026

Rocky point.
Rocky outcrop on the end of a headland. A pointy but of rock sticks out from the main outcrop, leaning to the right and pointing out to sea. A small island lies beyond in the centre of the picture and the far side of the large bay can just be seen on the horizon. Blue sea and blue sky with scattered little clouds.

Spent the day walking a bit of one of my favourite footpaths, the South West Coast Path. Very hot, lots of ups and downs, but brilliant! #walking #summer The next headland

Ta-da! One of those views that appear suddenly after walking down some wooded steps and through a gate. Gorgeous day but the ground is parched, we could really do with a bit of rain... #walking #summer
View from a hill across yellow sun-baked fields. The path leads down the hill and across the next field. There are dark green trees and hedges between the fields and in the distance. Blue sky with little fluffy clouds.

Out walking yesterday I had a choice, continue round a hot field edge sending up dancing butterflies or go into the cool wood. I went for the wood - it was full of flying biting insects, ankle grabbing brambles and trees creaking ominously. I should've stuck with the dancing butterflies! #walking

Unexpectedly sunny walk today! #summer #walking #clouds Footpath across a wheat field with an interesting sky.
Looking along a footpath which crosses the middle of a wheat field towards some trees in the distance, there are two fainter parallel paths to the left of the main path. The wheat is still green. The sky is blue with a higher band of light cloud and some that look like tiger stripes and classic little fluffy clouds below.

The water saga continues...still many households with nothing coming out of the taps. It's all very well blaming us for using too much water but the optics aren't great when a leak reported 3 weeks ago, allegedly fixed yesterday, is once again leaking water all over the road.
