There's a lane near the farm in Devon with a sign that reads "Unsuitable for Motors". I always referred to it as "The Unsuitable". It was...

No, not really. But I do blame the starlings for another avian pox dunnock casualty and my swollen hand after cutting my finger on a pot...

Charles I was on the throne the year that Willyam Snell died and was buried in Northamptonshire. Civil War was looming. It is strange to...

I spotted this rather lovely oak apple on the way to Kairos. I had already spotted something else. A victim of the hot dry weather....

A run around the poplar's copse where the Copse Oak stands. I greeted the oak, with some ceremony, as it happens, and looked up pleased...

This was a morning of TWO baby robins. This one was quite brave. I realise how much I like the word "little". I talk about my "little...

So, I will not pretend that I think this is any good. BUT, it is evidence that i am starting to shift and, what's more, there has been...

It was my Kairos day. Yet another Kairos day. So, off I went to the Reserve. The butterfly of the day was the ringlet. Though I also saw...

A few times I have mentioned that there seem to be a lot of bees about. I was staring at a blackberry bush and watching bees and flies...

A nice marking on a holly tree in a cemetery I visited when, well, killing time before my boxing class. The holly also had a pretty...

Shit title, but, see, I decided to take a picture of the cats who were looking so perfectly positioned. And, of course, my lost-art was...

On the 21st, I returned to the Reserve at 7pm and stayed there until after 10pm. I left my trail camera by Kairos. This video is a cheat...
