Mostly simple photos of nature on here, churches sometimes and my cat. I like reading, being outside and decent coffee. I am a priest, a curate in St. Mary’s and St. Anne’s Parish, Birmingham, UK

There’s a beautiful part of Selly Oak in Birmingham where a carpet of crocuses bloom every spring. I took these photos a couple of years ago but the crocuses are out again. Wonderful to see!
