Some days it is hard to see the light in the darkness. To see the beauty in world when times are tough. A few weeks ago, during a very grey and miserable looking day, I spotted these wildflowers doing their best to hold on as Autumn takes hold and the weather turns colder. It reminded … More Wildflowers Holding On
The Common Daisy aka lawn daisy or grass daisy. Some people may consider these as weeds, but I’m quite fond of them. They always make me think of Summer, childhood memories of picnics and daisy chains. I took these shots at a local woodland (Ecclesall Woods). Daisies, especially the Common Daisy probably aren’t most people … More Daisy in the Woods
Another post where I have delved into my photo archives. A couple of years ago we took a trip to Scarborough. While there we stopped off to explore Peasholm Park, which is known for its squirrel population. Anyone who knows me, knows that Squirrels are one of my favourite woodland animals. I love any opportunity … More Squirrel in the Woods
I’ve delved into my archives again for this post. I captured these shots during the Summer of 2020. During one of the many lockdowns of the time, when we were allowed to venture outside for exercise. Photo walks are exercise right? If my memory serves me, I spotted this female Mandarin duck nesting with her … More Mandarin & Ducklings
As I have not been out as much recently with my camera. I thought I would have a look through my photo archives. I have more photos from the last couple of years that I haven’t shared than I realised. I captured these shots last Summer while visiting the Yorkshire Sculpture Park. The grounds of … More YSP Highland Cattle
As I mentioned in my earlier post, life has been hectic of late. Meaning I have not spent much time on my photography. So, this is my first photo post in some time. It feels like it has been a while since I have connected with nature. In particular photographing it. So a few days … More Wild Pink Cosmos
It has been a while since I have posted. Life has kept me busy over the past 18 months. So I haven’t been as active on social media or out with my camera as much to create new content to share with you all. To those who are kind enough to follow my photography & … More Still Here!
I know I published this poll on one of my previous posts, but I thought I would share it again. I am interested which view modes people use when reading blogs. I personally prefer the web browser view over “reader” modes. I love seeing the full design of a blog/site. I enjoy seeing the care … More Poll: Blog View Modes
A few months back while visiting Aberdeen we spent an afternoon exploring Seaton Park, which lies to the north of the city on the banks of the River Don. During all my years growing up & living in the city I hadn’t visited the park until this year. I always assumed it was a small … More Donside Crows

Back to some wildlife photography, although I’m sure I will have plenty more photos to share of our fuzzy friend to add to my Cat Chronicles collection. Until last Summer I didn’t realise that we got Grasshoppers here in the UK. I feel quite privileged that each time we have spotted them it has been … More The Grasshopper
When you adopt a human with a love of photography & animals, being photographed is the trade off the fuzzy one has accepted for food, pets, and unconditional love. Although sometimes I think the more appropriate description would be “puts up with” rather than accepted. My photographs of the fuzzy one are a slight departure … More Garden Cat
