My faithful, furry friend 'Shep' the Romanian Shepherd, on holiday with me in Wales nine years ago. Still missed, never forgotten!😍
The world needs beauty, so here is a photo of a shady lane in England.
Just a calm day by a lake in England, then one of the waterfowl goes stark raving bonkers!
Dogs are a delight! This is Marcus, we fostered him for a while about 10 years ago, a 'Northern Inuit'. My husband could not take him anywhere without being approached by teenage girls wanting a photo!
Extreme high temperatures above 30 degrees C next week in Great Britain. Stay out of the sun in the middle of the day (11.00 - 15.00hr), close windows & curtains when sun is shining on the windows, stay hydrated, keep pets indoors. Find some shady trees for comfort.
Roses, because we need to remember the beauty there is in the world.
"April showers bring May flowers". In this case, cow parsley. May 2026, Gt. Britain.
Seen on a bus stop, somewhere in Britain, May 2026. One small spelling correction by me. (A poem based on Niemoller's famous poem)
Bare branches of trees in early March against a pale blue sky with some light cloud.
I think that is a beech. Here's a photo of beech roots I saw recently, without a mossy coat.
Yes, an old oak very similar to the one pictured. It's in a park at the end of my street, just a few minutes walk away.🌳😀
A beautiful cedar in a park, Hereford, UK. Just because we need more beauty.
Good morning to you, Ken. The bare trees in winter have a special calmness and beauty.😀 Attached is a photo of an apple tree in Herefordshire. The blackbirds are feasting on the fallen fruit.
Lovely, JoJo! I haven't seen a lot of fungi in my part of England yet. We have had a very dry summer, parched grass and cracked soil, the lot. Although there has been a fair bit of rain since the end of Sept, maybe not enough to compensate? Sending a 5-y-o photo for you!
'What's down'? A few little parasol mushrooms growing by a hedge near my home. This photo is about 7 years old, I keep hoping for them to sprout again but no luck yet (Nov 1, 2025)
💙📚 Dystopian fiction is popular these days, so here is one of my favourites: "They" by Kay Dick. Good luck finding a copy, but it is worth the hunt. Very relatable in the current atmosphere of US politics of censorship and attacks on artistic expression and free speech.
I am thinking of two astronauts on the ISS who would really love to be back on the ground after being stranded for far too long...😢
