Spotted this young deer in the corner of a field just as the light was beginning to fade. Busy eating, he obligingly looked up on hearing the sound of my shutter. Guess those ears really work. 🙂 #Cotswolds #Canon6Markii @photohour.bsky.social #appicoftheweek #fsprintmonday #ShareMondays2026

I belong to a piano group who play to each other every 2 months to try and get over the nerves associated with playing in public. So this week I've spent quite a few hours practicing...

Balloons at Chatsworth Country Fair. (Please see alt text) #Chatsworth #PeakDistrict #Derbyshire #Canon6DMarkii @photohour.bsky.social #appicoftheweek #fsprintmonday #ShareMondays2026
My favourite event of the year has to be the the balloons at Chatsworth Country Fair. All but one of the 'lift offs' were cancelled, so I feel very lucky to have witnessed this amazing event - the best ever!

This week I wanted to capture the effect of the weather on the land. I climbed the highest point I could find & took this photo. Fields of grass are almost indistinguishable from those harvested. #Crich #Derbyshire @photohour.bsky.social #appicoftheweek #fsprintmonday #ShareMondays2026

Still chasing murmurations, this one was in the middle of the town of Hatton #Derbyshire Just a few interesting shapes before heading off to the reed beds. Can't decide whether this is Morse code or short hand. #Canon6DMarkII @photohour.bsky.social #appicoftheweek #fsprintmonday #ShareMondays2026

Murmuration near Nottingham - too dark for any decent photos, but I did get a 'two in one' image of seagulls as well as the starlings as they took off from the lake. #loveukweather #Canon6DMarkII @photohour.bsky.social #appicoftheweek #fsprintmonday #ShareMondays2026

A dry day and an icy Valentine's Day walk near Hartington #PeakDistrict with snow in the distance. At the top of the hill was a trig point & two lone roses, one pink, one white - I'm still wondering what was the story...? #Canon6DMarkII #Derbyshire #appicoftheweek #fsprintmonday #ShareMondays2026

This has to be one of my favourite views in the #PeakDistrict when there's snow around. #MonsalHead #Derbyshire #Canon6DMarkII @photohour.bsky.social #loveukweather #appicoftheweek #fsprintmonday #ShareMondays2026
Taken from the car park at Monsal Head - after a few unintentional slips on the black ice - makes you feel like you've 'earned' the image.

Netherfileds Lagoon, lots of birds, but too cold to stay in the air - just straight over and down into the relative warmth of the reeds. Need to visit again soon... #Nottingham #Canon6DMarkII @photohour.bsky.social #loveukweather #appicoftheweek #fsprintmonday #ShareMondays2025
If you've ever witnessed a murmuration, it is truly breathtaking.  The sound of the whoosh as they fly overhead, the breaking of formationg and then rejoining - just awe inspiring. This was at Netherfields Lagoon, lots of birds, but too cold when I visited to stay in the air - just straight over and down into the relative warmth of the reeds. Who would blame them - I'll just have to keep visiting ...
