Sitting in the shade, enjoying the view on a very hot afternoon. #heatwave #lancashire

Lots of shadows in the foreground, with a diamond patterned fence in the shadow of an overhanging tree. Beyond the fence is a sunny meadow, with some hills in the distance. The sky is clear blue.

I found this beautiful poplar hawk moth on my front garden wall. It's the first time I've seen one. I love how it blends in so well with the wall. #moths #nature

Walking the Lancashire Coastal Path today, I paused for a while at the Praying Shell sculpture, erected in memory of the cockle pickers who lost their lives thirty years ago. #morecambebay

A sculpture of a figure kneeling in prayer, made of white stone. The shape of the body represents a shell.

I was so happy to see a hare in the field across the road yesterday evening. Photos taken through a fieldscope in dull, windy weather. #hares #nature #phonepics

The brown head and black ears of a hare are visible in the long green grass of the field.

I took a photo of the mud patch. You can see the beak and foot marks made by the house martins.

A large patch of wet mud, with small scratches and marks which I think are made by housemartins scooping up mud for their nests.

Came home from a two-week holiday to find a wasp building a nest above the shed door. It's about the size of a golf ball and growing. I'd love to leave it be, but I'm worried it will stop us going in and out of the shed, which we use nearly every day. Any suggestions? #wasps #nature

Canterbury Cathedral never ceases to amaze me. This is the view looking up at the highest part of the ceiling. Such intricate patterns and details so high up. #cathedrals #architecture #design
