A lot of rain lately and the floodplain is doing its job. Although it does mean #parkrun and #walks are out of the question just now. #LongrunMeadow #flooding #somerset #eastcoastkin #photography

Just a quick smartphone shot due to not having space for the camera, but i have to say, Berlin is looking incredible. A big change from when I was there last, early 2000s. #Berlin #photography #reichstag #bundestag

This has been a battle! I took the data (270 x 2s exposures) on the 21st and it has taken until today to battle with Siril and Photoshop to get it acceptable. I'm very pleased with the result! #photographersofbluesky #EastCoastKin #photographersunited #astrophotography #comet #cometlemmon #lemmon

Need to probe the #astrophysics hive mind. I'm a hobbyist with a reasonable base understanding of things. I am doing a talk for my astronomy society in Jan and need a topic I can tackle. Done T Corona Borealis and General Relativity in past. Ideas? @cosmicrami.com @chrislintott.bsky.social

I rarely do studio work - I much prefer being outdoors, but when a project calls for "something blue", I have to crack out the lights and the lightbox. It's not the best photo, I'm well aware. But it certainly fits the #blueskymonday brief! Have a good week all. #photography

Rather fortunate this evening to live close enough to Crewkerne to be able to go and hear @chrislintott.bsky.social speak at #cadas Thanks for signing my son's book(and correcting it!!) Here's to asteroids hitting the moon!

Been a busy week, but was delightful to get a break from it at St Mary's Lighthouse near Whitley Bay. For just a few short minutes the light was perfect. #lighthouse #sunset #evening #coast #ukcoast

Although the sky was clear, there was a lot of haze on the horizon from wildfires and a myst/fog over the pon dthe led to some interesting lighting and color conditions when I spotted this green heron this morning... #photography #birdphotography #birds #naturephotography

A small green heron is perched on a dead tree limb, just inches above the water's surface as the morning sun rises and shines over the pond.

And because my previous photo was rather tenuous for the Jet Black link, here's a photo I was rather "choughed" to capture on the Lizard in Cornwall a few years ago. #AlphabetChallenge #WeekJforJetBlack

A black chough stands on grass. Its red beak is striking.

I suppose you can't get much blacker than space, although as this photo shows, there's a heck of a lot of "not black" in our neighbourhood! This is the area around Polaris, the North Star. #AlphabetChallenge #WeekJforJetBlack

Very lucky to be at #PorlockMarsh in #Somerset at high tide and sunset on Saturday. The salt marsh floods when the tides are particularly high and sometimes that coincides with sunset or sunrise. Gorgeous. #PorlockMarshes #Exmoor #ExmoorNationalPark #Sunset #photography @exmoornp.bsky.social

A dead tree emerges from water at sunset. The sky is textured with hues of yellow. The reflections are sumptuous.

Dead wood emerges from water and is perfectly reflected. The sky is orange.

A dead tree emerges from water and is perfectly reflected. The sky is peach and blue/grey.

A dead tree and wood emerges from almost silvery water. With yellow and orange in the evening sky.

Maybe not internationally renowned or iconic, but this tidal salt marsh on old farmland in Somerset is very iconic in these parts. #AlphabetChallenge #WeekIforIconic #porlock #porlockmarsh #photography #somerset #exmoor #exmoornationalpark

A lone dead tree emerges from the water of a flooded salt marsh. The orange sun sets in the background with moody clouds overhead.

@sheena-mck.bsky.social told ya I'd get a wee #bee in 🤣🐝 #AlphabetChallenge #WeekHforHats #macro #macromonday And now I promise to behave myself for the rest of the challenge 😘

A close-up photograph of a bumblebee perched on a vibrant purple salvia flower, wearing a small purple baseball cap tilted at a jaunty angle. The cap fits snugly on the bee’s head and features the playful yellow text “SHEENA ROCKS.” The bee’s fuzzy black and yellow body, delicate wings, and shiny black eyes are clearly visible, contrasting with the bright purple petals and softly blurred background.

A muddle-minded mini moorhen, meekly meandering the mossy margins, most miffed at the mere mention of moisture. #WeekAForAlliteration #AlphabetChallenge

A fluffy black moorhen chick with a red and yellow beak paddles at the margins of a pond contemplating whether or not to go for a swim.
