I couldn't use my 'proper' camera this week due to a pulled shoulder muscle. iPhone to the rescue!
Lovely textures on this little barn in #Bolehill, #Wirksworth. Hope you agree. 🙂 #Derbyshire #loveukweather #iPhone12mini @photohour.bsky.social #appicoftheweek #fsprintmonday #ShareMondays2026

This has to be one of my favourite views in the #PeakDistrict when there's snow around. #MonsalHead #Derbyshire #Canon6DMarkII @photohour.bsky.social #loveukweather #appicoftheweek #fsprintmonday #ShareMondays2026
Taken from the car park at Monsal Head - after a few unintentional slips on the black ice - makes you feel like you've 'earned' the image.

Thanks to everyone who took time out from the festivities to take an image for the last #ShareMondays2025 of the year. Always a privilege to choose the fab 4, after the surprise of winning last week!

Last week we had a visit to Attingham House & Park near #Shrewsbury. The Christmas decorations were very well thought out and I really liked the shapes of this display. #BirthdayOuting #iPhone #Shropshire #appicoftheweek #fsprintmonday #ShareMondays2025

Went out Friday evening to see the Aurora. The sky looked really promising, but the colours just weren't there. Forgot to take a torch & my phone died - quite an adventure! #CrichStand #Derbyshire #Canon6DMarkII @photohour.bsky.social #loveukweather #appicoftheweek #fsprintmonday #ShareMondays2025

When the weather is so miserable that you end up photographing your own Christmas lights through the front door and 'jazz' it up in Photoshop and then run out of time... 🙂#iPhone #appicoftheweek #fsprintmonday #ShareMondays2025

Normally I'm never up early enough to catch early morning mist! Luckily it stayed just long enough for one image before it quickly burnt off 🙂 #Cotswolds #Gloucestershire #Canon6DMarkii @photohour.bsky.social

Netherfileds Lagoon, lots of birds, but too cold to stay in the air - just straight over and down into the relative warmth of the reeds. Need to visit again soon... #Nottingham #Canon6DMarkII @photohour.bsky.social #loveukweather #appicoftheweek #fsprintmonday #ShareMondays2025
If you've ever witnessed a murmuration, it is truly breathtaking. The sound of the whoosh as they fly overhead, the breaking of formationg and then rejoining - just awe inspiring. This was at Netherfields Lagoon, lots of birds, but too cold when I visited to stay in the air - just straight over and down into the relative warmth of the reeds. Who would blame them - I'll just have to keep visiting ...

Trying to find some new views near me, my eye was caught by a brief shaft of light on a tree as the sun went down. Afternoons are so short now! #Ashover #Derbyshire #Canon6DMarkII @photohour.bsky.social

Annual trip to #Chatsworth to see the fireworks on Friday evening. Heavy rain had made it very slippery underfoot, but it stopped just in time. Wouldn't miss this spectacle for the world! #Canon6DMarkII @photohour.bsky.social #loveukweather #appicoftheweek #fsprintmonday #ShareMondays2025

Visited Gosford Park, #Longniddry in East Lothian, #Scotland for the first time on Saturday. Jaw dropping colours that no photo can do justice to! #Canon6DMarkii

Spotted this little chap from afar last week and couldn't believe my luck as I approached - the first time I have seen a coprinus or Shaggy Ink Cap 'in the flesh'. #Cotswolds #Gloucestershire #Canon6DMarkii

Winner announced around 4pm xx
I love this drone shot for the colours and patterns. I would never have recognised it as a park local to me! Mist and sheep, what a dreamy combination - and main subject placed on a left hand third - great composition! We all know Sarah's fabulous images of 'her' foxes in Bushy Park, but this one is exceptional in capturing the fox balancing on his hind legs - what is he looking at? Thanks for sharing this with us! Stunning image of a night scene at the barbers. It's like Edward Hopper meets Jack Vettriano, excellent and so well seen!

Decision tomorrow! (It will be tough!)
I love this still life with its careful arrangements and the little interplay of light on the right hand background. It's a really pleasing colour palette as well. Loving the colours and the movement in this: it makes for a very expressive portrait Captured at the perfect moment! A really direct and striking portrait I'm really enjoying this beautiful interplay of textures, shapes and light. It's a great colour palette too!
