#JoinMeOnMyWalk from #RHSBridgewater on Sunday, following on from yesterday's post with the walled garden walk. Beautiful sunlight, bees and beauty to admire along with winter flowering plants. A feast for the eyes! @photohour.bsky.social #bloomscrolling #DailyFlowers
Beautiful flowers, I don't know all their names, but hellebore, Daphne? Snowdrops, winter flowering cherry, borage, roses, and helichrysum, along with sculptural beech planting and gorgeous autumn colours on the foliage

#JoinMeOnMyWalk from #RHSBridgewater on Sunday, so much to see I've split it into today's woodland walk & the walled garden walk (tomorrow). Surprised to see snowdrops pushing through, beautiful light & fabulous fungi to admire along with winter flowering plants. @photohour.bsky.social
Clockwise from top left; Sunlight through pampas grass, huge funnel fungi, the distinctive arches through the garden, sulphur tuft fungi, a snowdrop, light through a beautiful tree, redlead roundheads, a super bright camelia, the Japanese garden, and a swan.

A bonus #MacroMonday with our first #frost in #Preston this morning. Couldn't walk past this poor frozen daisy and outlined leaf without a photo! Definitely time to get my winter coat out! @macrohour.bsky.social #bloomscrolling #Autumn2025
Our first frost of the year locally picking out the veins in a fallen leaf and icing this pretty common daisy.

#MacroMonday, NOT from spring, from yesterday at #RHSBridgewater, and clouds of #bees enjoying a winter flowering cherry. Absolutely delightful to see against a blue sky after the storm last Friday. @macrohour.bsky.social #vitaminN #joy
Wonderful to see bees nectaring in the sunshine yesterday, a reminder of what spring will look like when we make it through winter!

Already posted for The Winter 10 but a couple of this week's flowers deserved their own posts for prettiness! Here's a common daisy hunkered down in grass, I love the circular sweep of its petals protecting it's centre. @wildflowerhour.bsky.social @bsbibotany.bsky.social #Wildflowerhour #joy

#SaturdayMorning November so far to brighten your timeline, really feels like the unseasonably warm start is finishing and yesterday's wind has stripped the trees, so here's a homage to #Autumn beauty so far. #NaturePhotography #vitaminN #joy
Gorgeous rich autumn coloured leaves and blue, pink and purple skies, hoverflies and butterflies and pretty fungi all seen this November so far
