I'm back! I was a little tired of social media. I'll tell you what I'm also tired of. 5 little words. "To whom it may concern" if I never had to see that phrase again I'd be thrilled (Anyone hiring a cool gal like me). Anyway here's a pretty house in a pretty village called Edensor.

#RockinTuesday comes around quick but today's photo, though I use the word favourite very liberally, honestly might actually be up there in my top 5. The magic behind this rock with a face is a mini fill light tucked behind a rock.

So apparently it's #BlueMonday today. I don't like Blue Monday, I don't like being told I ought to be sad. Also stop hating on January. Anyway, if you are by chance feeling blue today, here's a nice warm yellow sunflower to cheer you up.

Finally it's #skysunday I've been getting ready to share with you my favourite sky photo. Last year I started attempting night sky photography, this is I think my best attempt so far. Can you peep the galaxy at the top.

Happy #caturday everyone. What a perfect (Some pun intended) opportunity to share with you little socks, the cat that seems to get younger every year. Hard to belive she's 14 right!

I know its not a Sunday but I took this a couple days ago so a rare for me recent image being posted. Venus! That's the funky splodge in the middle and I could be wrong but the little bright dot just below and to the left is Saturn. Spot any constellations?

You know I often wonder when walking through cities, who owns the skyscrapers I see above me. Not this one.

I was taught "shoot dark, edit light" because over exposed images are harder to fix. I'm not sure if that's completely true but I do it anyway. Here's a photo where I decided I'd stop at the first part of that advice.

Well note to self don't post skinless statue pictures, they don't do so well. So back to regular service and as it's #rockintuesday here's a picture that unlike last Tuesday's did feature in a portfolio of mine.

I've been trying to write detailed alt text on every picture I share. I find it challenging. I decided I wanted to share this sculpture I photographed and figured well if I can describe this I can describe anything, (labeled because it is just metal but it's a bit gory)

If you've read my bio recently you might be confused by ny Welsh by BSc. Perhaps you figured out, I studied in Wales. South Wales specifically. The University of South Wales even more specifically. Well here's a broken footpath sign just to prove I've at least set foot in Wales.

I figured I should probably get back to my happy place, don't want you thinking I'm more exciting than I really am. Back to pretty English landscapes. This is a photograph I like so much I printed it out and hung it on my wall.

Yesterday I told you I studied wildlife photography and then showed you a picture of domesticated animals. What a wrong un. Well instead of going to bed at a reasonable hour I'm righting my wrong. Here's a picture I took whilst actually studying, in the wild, in South Africa

Time for another fun fact about me. Technically I was trained in wildlife photography. Instead I ignored all that and just took landscape photos. But anyway here's a photo I took four days ago of some Fallow deer. Because who doesn't love Bambi.

Perhaps two of my most desolate looking photographs taken back to back. The English Channel and Rye Harbour Beach.

Fun fact about me, I love photographing rocks. I know nothing about them but they look cool. So low and behold I log on and see #rockintuesday what a great trend. So anyway, at uni I made two photo portfolios on rocks. This picture isn't in either of them, but it looks cool.

I was once told that I take photographs that look like Windows backgrounds, they said it was a compliment, I guess I'll believe them. This generic computer background is actually the parkland around yesterday's stately home.

Here's a handful of photos I've taken over the years of one of my favourite places. Perhaps some of you might recognise it from the big screen.

Following on from yesterday's post, here's another photo, exactly the same location (Upper Burbage, Peak District)
But from the opposite direction. This trig point is definitely a 360 vantage point.

Hello Bluesky, I've just discovered what a great #photography community there is on here so with that being said I'd like to throw my hat into the ring and share a photo of my beautiful home the Peak District National Park.
