Running to enter the #AlphabetChallenge #WeekSforShadows (If this picture looks familiar, then it probably is, I posted it a couple of days ago on my other "photography only" account. I since changed my mind about having two accounts, one specifically for photography, so the other one was deleted)

Nonsuch parkrun and 5K Your Way. We also remembered David Gullen, a Nonsuch 5K Your Way ambassador, recently lost to prostate cancer. David always finished his run with arms outstretched and "flew" into the finish line. Just over 1000 attendees. #parkrun #5KYourWay #5KYW #MoveAgainstCancer #Nonsuch

A rather nice harvest from my small garden this morning. Still loads of tomatoes, beans and courgettes to come and leeks & carrots have been planted/sown in the tubs that had the potatoes in. Pleased how things are going despite the continued lack of rain #gardening #homeproduce #growyourown 🍅🌱🥔🥕🌧️

Drawn back to Morden #parkrun for a satisfying test on grass and inclines. Great to see the #parkwalk initiative getting a turn in the spotlight . I see the future, and it is a little bit slower 😂 #LetsWalk #LoveParkrun #Running

Drink plenty of water, eat as healthily as you can and try to get a bit of exercise every now and then, because there are people you *definitely* want to outlive.

The gorgeous flower of a Swan neck gourd growing in Wisley’s Hilltop World Food Garden. #flowersonFriday 🌱 If you want me I will be in my tiny garden.

A white, flat flower with five petals that are narrow at the centre but wide at the outer edge. The petals are almost transparent between the veins.

It’s a fond #FlyDay farewell: Puffins are leaving our shores and vanishing into the blue once more... See you next Spring! 😍

A Puffin in flight, wings outstretched and orange feet tucked beneath it. Its colourful beak and black-and-white plumage stand out against a soft blue backdrop of sea and sky. In the lower corner, blurred wildflowers perch on a clifftop, hinting at the coastal setting.

Music nerds among you... I'm sure there was a 1970's rock song that started with a man's growly voice saying 'hello'. Or rather, 'allo'. Can't find it now though. Google no help at all, of course.

Heard a boy in a bookshop ask his dad what the shelves full of OS maps were. Dad explained that they were used to go places as "there was a time before GPS", and opened a map to show him. Son didn't understand at all. As a map lover it breaks my heart.

Been using Meta Threads for a couple of weeks, but I don't like it. Essentially the same as Bluesky, but not as nice. I've uninstalled it and I'll be sticking to Bluesky as my one and only 🙂

Happy #WorldHumanistDay! Here's one our favourite little definitions of humanism by our Vice President @profaliceroberts.bsky.social

Throughout histoty there have been people who have believed that that this life is the only life we have, that the universe is a natural phenomenon with no supernatural side - using reason and humanitu to guide us... today, poeple who hold these beliefs and valuws are called humanists.'

Tomatoes. We sow them, nurture them, pot them on, fret over them, plant them out and care for them. Then you look at your pot of sunflowers and find half a dozen have sprung up from your home made compost and are happily doing their own thing. I've got more "volunteer" tomatoes than any other 🌱🍅
