I do things often and will occasionally talk about them here in vaguely specific terms.
Ya’ll I have been through it recently with the mental health fight.

But coming out the other side and remembering what it means to be happy and relaxed.

Even remembered the joy to be found in the artistry of the sky.

Spending too long staring at paved concrete and forgot to look up.

A beautiful night sky after a wonderful sunny day.

Rest easy and take care of yourself.

Who else saw the glowing orb of the moon last night? So bright! Had me dancing on a moon shadow 💃🏽

Here’s a few of the pics I took last night on my usual stargazing walk with my phone.

Have a lovely day everyone!

Gorgeous colours in the sunset tonight.

Although the sky was 80% cloud, the vivd pinks and oranges were gorgeous on the horizon.

Watched the sunset knowing this is one of the final days for many years we will have Mercury, Venus, Mars, Neptune, Uranus and Jupiter in the sky at the same time.

As you can see, it was too bright to get Mercury and Neptune, but Venus is stealthily visible. Just.

Look at this cloud friend.

Just chilling in a pastel sea.

Last night I saw a cloud that tried to create an image of the UK if Wales should attach itself to Ireland.

Loved walking with a clear(ish) sky. Managed to actually see a few of my favourites sights in the sky.

Beautiful sunset today with a variety of colours coming through.

Hope you have a lovely weekend all.

I went out last night to take cloudy star pictures.

I got distracted by helping toads cross a semi busy road.

It is what it is. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Here’s a sunset from the archives instead. Have a fab Friday all.

Last night was the first break in endless cloud for a week and the moon absolutely made it worth the walk in freezing temperatures.

It took a bit of practice for me to get a photo I liked, as I have myself and my iPhone as equipment. I’m not a great tripod. 😂

Good morning! Lovely clear skies today.

Here’s a pic from last night’s frosty stargazing (so cold!). We have Mars, Jupiter, Gemini, Orion, the Pleiades and a lovely little moon halo.

Uranus is also there, but a little too shy to show.

Have a lovely day!

The sunset was gorgeous today, some real oil painting moments!

Here’s one of my favourite snaps of the 45 mins process.

You can see the moon and Venus (just about!) poking through to say hi.

Seeing everyone’s photos of the moon’s conjunction with Venus is giving me such joy.

Especially photos from those just there to enjoy the beauty of it.

I don’t have such a photo, but here’s a nice cloud I saw around lunar new year. I thought it somewhat dragon-like.

The weather yesterday was challenging to say the least.

At least I managed to peep at Venus through a window.

Just finished stargazing for 2 hours when I only meant to pop out for milk.

It was super cloudy, so leaving photo selection for tomorrow morning.

In the meantime, here’s the only pic of today’s sunset I have.

Lovely to catch the sun rise and see the moon disappear this morning.

Look at the pretty colours! POV you’re sitting in bed and the sun threatens to blind you despite your best efforts.

Amongst the stars today, you may have spotted no less than 7 planets!

Neptune evaded my phone camera, I think. However, you should be able to spot Saturn under Venus, Mars hanging out by Gemini and Jupiter outshining Uranus (which is to the right of the star cluster right of Jupiter).

I actually managed this sad little photo of Mars and its friend Pullox.

Although essentially two dots on a dark background, just catching a glimpse was good enough for me.

It’s very cloudy but I still managed to get a snap of the full moon!

Only having a phone to take night sky pics is slowly burning at me. I may invest in new tools soon. 👀

Caught the final moments of the conjuncture of the moon and Jupiter.

Jupiter is just to the bottom left of the moon in this picture.

Was sad to have been too ill to watch the full progress, but grateful to have just about caught it.

Saw Sonic 3 and walked back under the freezing cold stars.

Grass is super crunchy right now and delicious if you love good crunch noise/feel.

Sonic 3 is certainly something that happened and new couples Halloween costume just dropped.

Just returned from taking pictures of the night sky.

Seemed to flirt with some aurora reds and violets, saw some beautiful shooting stars, but the strangest thing was this:

A (very subtle) rainbow in the night sky. Very cool!

I’ve had a pretty bad few weeks.

So treated myself to some joy!

Look at this caked up lil’ guy.

Eight hours of snow.

Soft gingerbread.

Warm tea and hot choccie.

Blankie and hot water bottle.

Perfect.

This seems like a chill place with nice photos and stuff, so here’s one of the the first pictures I took with a ‘big camera’.

I lent out of a moving train window to do this (don’t try that).

Still saving to get my own ‘big camera’ 10 years later!
