An evening trip to the beach brought quieter roads, a stunning sunset, and a much more relaxed end to the day. #Photography #NaturePhotography #OceanPhotography #NatureConnection

This photo has so much energy...any other suggestions of techniques to try, that will create different water photos? #photography #nature #naturephotography #natureconnection

I love getting my camera in the water (in a waterproof housing obviously)...because in fast flowing streams you can get some really interesting effects. Helps me feel a bit cooler on a hot day too.... #photograhy #naturephotography #natureconnection #nature

I love getting in a river/stream to take photos....getting the fisheye view! I can feel the energy of the water, it's aliveness. #nature #natureconnection #water #riverdee #bluespace #naturephotography #photography

I love how shutter speed changes the story. A faster shutter freezes the river's energy and detail, while a slower shutter transforms the same scene into something softer and more fluid. #nature #naturephotography #natureconnection #photography #waterphotography

I went for a swim earlier this morning, wonderful to get in the water and spend some time with new friends. I did take my camera and took a few shots but was mostly enjoying the swim #nature #natureconnection #bluespace #LLangollen

I was at a North Wales beach recently taking photos of waves as I do! And I came across this beautiful red shell...none similar around and I just can't find out what it is. Any ideas? #nature #naturephotography #beachcomber #OceanLife

Another sunrise shot....I might have to find another place for sunrise photos as I enjoyed it so much. #nature #naturephotography #natureconnection

Last week, I got up early and decided to use the lovely weather to go and photograph the sunrise. I won't be doing it everyday but it was wonderful to be up before most people and doing something different. And then I was sat working well before my usual time 😀

I love taking photos underwater. I just have a small camera, with a housing... a DSLR in a housing is just too big & bulky...& expensive. I just love the way the sun catches these leaves just below the surface of the lake #natureconnection #waterconnection #bluespace #nature #naturephotography

The oxygen that keeps us alive comes from natural ecosystems: half on land, half at sea. It's not complicated: we are TOTALLY dependent on the living world. Yet it's still treated as nothing but 'resources', to exploit and destroy for profit.

Did you watch Dirty Business? I can't believe how much water companies have gotten away with. They're putting profit before public health - it’s a scandal and the Government MUST take action! Sick of sewage? Add your name to the petition today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/en...

I love the patterns that the water makes as each new wave washes over the pebbles on the shoreline, it is mesmerising and relaxing all at one. #nature #naturephotography #natureconnection #oceanphotography #oceanconnection

They are much maligned but I do find gulls to be a beautiful & elegant bird, crafty & smart too. Here they are circling over the pier, just waiting for that moment when someone drops a chip...or just holds it in their hand for just a moment too long... #nature #natureconnection #naturephotography

4 seagulls circling over a section of pier against a blue sky.

Nothing I like better than just sat watching the waves, trying to get that photo that is full of movement and energy #water #nature #naturephotography #natureconnection #oceanconnection #ocean

The fog softened the edges of these bare trees earlier in the year. Foggy mornings feel still and quiet, as clouds soften traffic from the nearby road. I sometimes imagine a different world beyond the fog. If it lifted and revealed something new, what might it be? What do you think on foggy days?

Jane @ Sea and Tree @sea-and-tree.bsky.social · 05/05/2026

Watching the water rush over the edge, I notice how it is always changing, with different shapes and lines every second. There is no still version of it, no fixed pattern, just constant movement that somehow still feels steady. #nature #naturephotography #natureconnection #mindfulness #wellbeing

Jane @ Sea and Tree @sea-and-tree.bsky.social · 04/05/2026

I usually see these either flat on the side of the road...or running away from the road, so it was good to see one where I could take a picture #nature #naturephotography #natureconnection

Who doesn't love a waterfall? This wonderful one was at the end of a walk along a gorge, that felt cool, otherworldly and maybe even timeless. #nature #naturephotography #natureconnection

We arrived a little early to our hostel at the weekend so I spent the time looking at the blossom on the trees #photography #naturephotography #natureconnection

Life and kids means I’m often shooting at less-than-ideal times, but the harsh midday sun at the weekend worked perfectly for those stark contrasts. #photography #b&w #naturephotography

Research shows that observing natural scenes like flowing water taps into "soft fascination," a gentle mental engagement that restores focus, reduces fatigue, and boosts creativity. The calming rhythm offers a brain reset. #naturephotography #natureconnection #nature

Even a foggy morning has its moments. Quiet proof that the smallest things can still be stunning. Just a web, some dew and a bit of patience. #nature #naturephotography #natureconnection

Beresford Dale, in the Derbyshire Dales… a wonderful walk along a stream with the kids, filled with the soothing sounds of running water. A simple moment with simple pleasures. #Nature #NaturePhotography #Bluespaceconnection

We are seeing more in the UK waters and apparently with the warming waters they will only increase in numbers...I do find them beautiful though. The kids don't agree! #naturephotography #natureconnection #ocean #MarineLife

Nature has been proven to boost mood, focus, and creativity. Here are some science-backed benefits of connecting with nature. Next week I’m running a nature and networking session in Shropshire, time outdoors, fresh perspective, good people. DM if you’re curious. #natureconnection #shropshire

The Positive Impact of Nature on Wellbeing

Reduced Stress Levels: Spending time in nature, such as forest walks or green spaces, has been found to lower cortisol (stress hormone) levels, blood pressure, and heart rate, helping adults feel calmer and more relaxed

Improved Mood and Lower Depression: Even brief exposure to natural settings can improve mood and reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety. This effect is attributed to the restorative qualities of nature that help reset emotional balance.

Enhanced Cognitive Function: Time spent in nature supports better attention, memory, and overall cognitive performance. Activities like walking in forested areas help refresh the mind and improve concentration.

Jane @ Sea and Tree @sea-and-tree.bsky.social · 14/07/2025

Hello! I usually stay behind the camera sharing peaceful nature moments, but here’s a little hello from me. I’m also running in-person nature and networking sessions in Shropshire – come join me. #shropshire #natureconnection #slowdown

This little stream runs beside a road, near a fire station. Not wild, but it's where I go for calm. Nature doesn't need to be remote or dramatic. Sit somewhere quiet. Watch. Listen. Notice. The buzz of an insect, the sway of grass, light on a leaf. #MindfulMoments #EverydayCalm #NatureConnection

Jane @ Sea and Tree @sea-and-tree.bsky.social · 10/07/2025

Look what arrived in the post! I studied at postgraduate level through a pandemic, while running a business and solo parenting. I learnt so much about nature connection & now I’m ready to share it. #NatureConnection #Shropshire #PostgradLife #OutdoorWork #WellbeingAtWork

Jane @ Sea and Tree @sea-and-tree.bsky.social · 08/07/2025

When I get stuck on a problem, I walk to the nearby stream. The sound of water & trees helps untangle my thoughts. Nature is a powerful business tool. That is why I now offer Nature and Networking sessions. #NatureConnection #SmallBusinessOwner #Shropshire #MindfulBusiness #NatureAndNetworking

Jane @ Sea and Tree @sea-and-tree.bsky.social · 07/07/2025

Spending time in nature lowers cortisol levels & calms the nervous system, offering a natural reset for stress. Even brief moments outdoors can restore mental clarity & emotional balance. It also aids in problem-solving and fosters creativity. #natureconnection #shropshire #smallbusinessowner

On a recent visit to the beach, we found a large tidal pool full of these little gobies...even swimming over our feet, a joy to watch. #natureconnection #naturephotography #nature #marinelife #underwater

Sit by a stream and observe: what you see, what you hear and what you feel. Or follow the path of a stream slowly. Notice how the landscape changes, how the stream changes, let the stream lead the way. What is your favourite place to experience #BlueMind? #NatureConnection #MindfulInNature

Nature crops up in many spaces. This is a corner of a car park. Fortunately, it doesn't have a manicured bush, but has been left to grow. I just stopped and enjoyed the birds in the trees, and the different shades of green #natureconnection #naturemoments #nature

I've seen a number of different jellyfish in the water around the UK, but have only seen barrel jellyfish washed up on the beach. This one was trapped in a large tidal pool, so an excellent opportunity to get up close #nature #naturephotography #natureconnection

Another picture from my weeds walk recently...how wild this flower is, I don't know it may well have seeded from a garden or somewhere (although apparently the Welsh poppy can be orange so it might be). It is just gorgeous though! #nature #natureconnection #naturephotography

Jane @ Sea and Tree @sea-and-tree.bsky.social · 15/05/2025

I have been exploring nature in the roadside verges, the cracks in the wall and pavement recently. Isn't an unopened dandelion just beautiful? I don't think I have really seen one before, not looked closely anyway. #nature #natureconnection #naturephotography
