Normally I'm never up early enough to catch early morning mist! Luckily it stayed just long enough for one image before it quickly burnt off 🙂 #Cotswolds #Gloucestershire #Canon6DMarkii @photohour.bsky.social

Netherfileds Lagoon, lots of birds, but too cold to stay in the air - just straight over and down into the relative warmth of the reeds. Need to visit again soon... #Nottingham #Canon6DMarkII @photohour.bsky.social #loveukweather #appicoftheweek #fsprintmonday #ShareMondays2025
If you've ever witnessed a murmuration, it is truly breathtaking. The sound of the whoosh as they fly overhead, the breaking of formationg and then rejoining - just awe inspiring. This was at Netherfields Lagoon, lots of birds, but too cold when I visited to stay in the air - just straight over and down into the relative warmth of the reeds. Who would blame them - I'll just have to keep visiting ...

Trying to find some new views near me, my eye was caught by a brief shaft of light on a tree as the sun went down. Afternoons are so short now! #Ashover #Derbyshire #Canon6DMarkII @photohour.bsky.social

Annual trip to #Chatsworth to see the fireworks on Friday evening. Heavy rain had made it very slippery underfoot, but it stopped just in time. Wouldn't miss this spectacle for the world! #Canon6DMarkII @photohour.bsky.social #loveukweather #appicoftheweek #fsprintmonday #ShareMondays2025

Visited Gosford Park, #Longniddry in East Lothian, #Scotland for the first time on Saturday. Jaw dropping colours that no photo can do justice to! #Canon6DMarkii

Spotted this little chap from afar last week and couldn't believe my luck as I approached - the first time I have seen a coprinus or Shaggy Ink Cap 'in the flesh'. #Cotswolds #Gloucestershire #Canon6DMarkii

Thanks for your patience with #ShareMondays2025 I've just spent the morning at the dentist, but I'm back now! Final 4 chosen from a superb array of images. @lcflandscapedrone.bsky.social

I love this drone shot for the colours and patterns. I would never have recognised it as a park local to me! Mist and sheep, what a dreamy combination - and main subject placed on a left hand third - great composition! We all know Sarah's fabulous images of 'her' foxes in Bushy Park, but this one is exceptional in capturing the fox balancing on his hind legs - what is he looking at? Thanks for sharing this with us! Stunning image of a night scene at the barbers. It's like Edward Hopper meets Jack Vettriano, excellent and so well seen!

Derby Feste were back this weekend to entertain the people of Derby. Amazing acrobatic acts; this one was #Spinsane a spinning wheel of death where luckily no one came to harm. #Canon6DMarkII @derbyshireuk.bsky.social @photohour.bsky.social #appicoftheweek

@markhether18.bsky.social with Blea Tranquility.
A masterful landscape in portrait form makes me want to walk straight into the water and carry on until I reach the mountains in the distance. Love it! Congratulations. 👏👏

We all need a pot of gold to fund our dreams. This one belonged to my neighbours walking in a nearby field. 🙂 #Morley #Derbyshire #Canon6DMarkII @photohour.bsky.social

I always like to imagine what animals say to each other: "Count to three and then let's leg it" Which is exactly what they did... #hares #Cotswolds #Gloucestershire #Canon6DMarkii @photohour.bsky.social #loveukweather #appicoftheweek #fsprintmonday #ShareMondays2025

Went in search of heather last week. There's not a huge amount, but just enough to get the picture I was after. Thank you sheep for your 7 seconds of time! #BeeleyMoor #Derbyshire #PeakDistrict #Canon6DMarkII @photohour.bsky.social #loveukweather #appicoftheweek #fsprintmonday #ShareMondays2025

Red Arrows wow factor as they flew past over Stanton by Dale, Derbyshire, yesterday, after a no show earlier due to bad weather. The best 7 seconds of taking photos in a while! #Canon6DMarkII #100-400mm @photohour.bsky.social

I thought this chap was a Common Field Grasshopper, but it turns out he is a Meadow Grasshopper and so well camouflaged in his green and brown suit. #Cotswolds #Gloucestershire #Canon6DMarkii @photohour.bsky.social #loveukweather #appicoftheweek #fsprintmonday #ShareMondays2025

Our annual trip to Bempton Cliffs to see the gannets and the odd Puffin this week. I love Puffins, but equally the Gannets have such character. Imagine the caption here... #Yorkshire #Canon6DMarkII @photohour.bsky.social #loveukweather #appicoftheweek #fsprintmonday #ShareMondays2025

No prizes for guessing which dance is being demonstrated here at the 21st Bakewell International Day of Dance on Saturday. Well done to all the dancers on a very hot day!! 🙂

You need to be very patient to take photos of butterflies. Happy to have spent time with this Marbled White while he flew between the purple flowers of lucerne. 🙂 #Cotswolds #Gloucestershire #Canon6DMarkii
