On the day the kids break up from school for the summer holidays, there’s something of an autumnal look to some of the hedgerows. #shropshire

Had an opportunity to take some shots with a Nikkor Z MC 105mm last night, just as the light was fading. It needed a little more depth of field, but if anyone asks, I'll say it's artistic! #nikon #nikonphotographer #nikonZ8

Good to see the bumblebees returning to the heathers in the garden (although I didn’t get a shot of them unfortunately). Shame the warm weather is coming to an end over the next few days. #shropshire #nature #wildlife

If anyone has lost a (hopefully empty) oil tank on the outskirts of Shrewsbury, I think I might have found it!
