Was incredibly fortunate to spend a lot of time diving with mantas in Komodo National Park last week, and have been having a lot of fun looking through my photos today

Coral reefs are well known for being colourful, but I also love them in black and white; it really brings out the beautiful textures

Scoots Spring no.4 🌻🐈‍⬛️🖤 one of my absolute favourite photos of him. It was summer so the grass clippings in the skip were warm. We had to check he wasn't in it when the lorry turned up to pick up the skip 🥰 #catsofbluesky #blackcats #cats #voids
A photo of rubbish piled up in a skip, and a black cat asleep, snuggled among the rubbish.

Scoots Spring no.3 🐈‍⬛️🌻 I think this might be one of the first photos I took with a DSLR. A bit blurry, but it captured him perfectly and is one of my favourites of him 🖤 #catsofbluesky #cats #blackcats #voids

One of my favourite parts of Spring has always been my little old man sunbathing in the garden. It's almost been an entire year without him. Feels like a good time to share a few of my favourite photos of him with you. I'll start with this one 🥰🖤

Took my camera for a spin for the first time in 5 months tonight. Silly 800mm mirror lens with manual focus and no image stabilisation. Despite that I think it turned out quite well! 😅

By contrast, this was two days later.

Occasionally the big one pretends she likes the little one and we get moments like this

Our second Aurora night in #Iceland. I'm not too happy with the composition of these, but the light was fantastic so overall I'm pleased. We were also incredibly lucky to hear the glacier carving in the lagoon next door!

I've been a little inactive, so let me resume my #Iceland theme with the Northern Lights! I can't really add anything that hasn't already been said about this phenomenon, it really is amazing.

The night sky lit up green by the Aurora borealis, with some faint vertical bars of green and a faint tinge of red on the left. The mountains form a silhouette in the background, and the glacier is visible among them on the right.

There is a tiny tinge of red, and a shooting start or satellite, on the left.
