There haven't been too many sunny days to appreciate them this October, but today the trees in Somerville College @somervillecollege.bsky.social are looking lovely.

A bit of an off day due to grumbles and rumbles overnight. So here's a post of the northern beach on #Shapinsay #Orkney while I ease into the morning and hope my temperamental system starts cooperating! Have a wonderful Wednesday 😊

Hello everyone ☕️🩷🌿
I thought I’d share this common carder bee on lesser knapweed for today’s Insect Thursday. I really love the vibrant colour of the knapweed. Have a great Thursday everyone!

While visiting Orkney this summer with my partner Richard @richard013.bsky.social I was so excited to be on the Hoy ferry with the @orkneylibrary.bsky.social van which I think is called "Booky McBookface"! I love to follow Orkney Library on social media so to see this superstar was a real treat!

Very VERY late flowering orange/yellow dahlia! It's had one tiny closed bud on it since July! Seems it was waiting for September?!

About a month ago I had to say goodbye to my best friend Buddy. Ever since his passing I wanted to give him a little tribute and say thanks for spending so many days by my side. 🤍
