I couldn’t resist a photo of the moon as it rose in the eastern sky over Coniston this evening. Not a full moon, that was last night, the Harvest Moon.

I always enjoy the walk from Coniston to Little Langdale, but this section through Moss Rigg Wood is the part I enjoy most.

Just because I really like this pastel of Bob Dylan that I had given, I thought I would share it here. 😊 “The times they are a changing”.

I may be developing something of a disused quarry obsession. I wonder if there’s a name for it 🤔

There’s so much to see in a big rocky hole 😊

I had a fascinating afternoon in the old quarry at Hodge Close, mainly photographing rock and enjoying the total silence that comes with being at the bottom of a big hole 😊

I think this might be a Trooping Funnel, but I’m not a fungi expert by any means. Other opinions always welcome 😊

Some of the fungi seen in Roudsea Woods, on the side of the Leven estuary are this morning.

A walk to Porth Wen brickworks on Anglesey. Silica was mined just back from the shoreline to make fire bricks which were all taken out by sea. The site was operating between 1950 and 1949.

A walk out to Point Lynas on Anglesey this morning where I was lucky enough to spot dolphins and porpoise. Apparently dolphins aren’t friendly towards porpoises, but there were definitely both there for a while.

An old drystone wall, covered in all sorts of life. The second picture is a lichen that was growing there. Its common name is Devil’s Matchsticks.

Just a short walk from my front door yesterday afternoon. Following the stream, up through the wood and out onto open fields.

Flying over me when I was out on the fells yesterday. Looks fun, but not for me. 😊

Robin Cooper @robincooper1.bsky.social · 23/08/2026
One of the smaller fells in the Coniston area. I did the whole walk without meeting anyone. Oh, except for a brief “hello” with a paraglider about 50 feet above my head 🤣

Good to see the waterfall is back in Tom Ghyll, on the walk up to Tarn Hows.

Some of the lower fells offer some of the best views. This morning I was on Home Fell, Coniston and although it is only 317 metres high, the views are stunning, especially now when the heather is in bloom.
