Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on.

A thick tree trunk with an Owlet. This was taken some weeks ago, the owlet will be fledged by now.

I loved the warm colour of this length of trunk, ageing in the grounds of Moseley Old Hall

This is a 350 year old Sweet Chestnut at Moseley Old Hall, Staffordshire, UK. The Romans made flour from sweet chestnuts.

My #strawberry harvest tonight.

I have a lot of completion with the local wildlife, so I pick as soon as they start to ripen.
