I still think Ray Charles cover of Yesterday is the best version of the song ever, but this Cory Henry take comes a close second. Wow. #beatles #music #soul #jazz

I added 10 new pots to my Etsy shop. They're all one-of-a-kind and would probably make for some interesting conversations 🤔

Taking photos of bicycles turned into a bit of a theme on my wanders whilst I was in Germany.

Treated myself to an Indian Bean Tree (Catalpa bignonioides) Apparently capable of growing to 12 meters (35 ft) though hopefully a little smaller in the UK. Love the shape and colour of those leaves.

It's been hard following the news in the UK the last few days, hearing Starmer and Kendall talk about "incentivising" more disabled people to work. Do you think companies want disabled workers? They don't. They don't want us with our needs and sick days, our humanity.

The Kyle of Durness - as seen from the Cape Wrath side.

I think I've probably posted enough bleak, flat landscapes of Dartmoor for a while so something a little more easy on the eye.

I know I've shot and posted this scene 100s of times in the past, but I just can't get over it. You could be forgiven for thinking that all I do is wait for foggy weather, then head up onto the hill. But I just love this view so much.

A barn owl flypast is a thrilling thing to witness.

While the skating is very good right now on the Rideau Canal in Ottawa, this sort of melt has also been too common this winter. Dows Lake. (Leica R8, 280mm f2.8 APO Telyt R, Lomo 800)
