1/2 This autumn must be one of the best we have seen for years. The colours have been incredible, turning a simple walk into a true feast for the senses. I couldn't resist following this carpet of glorious, crunchy orange leaves along Wenlock Edge, but the shot needed something extra. #Shropshire

1/3 I love an inviting stile - and this has got to be one of my favourites. It leads to Stokesay Castle, seen here with the slopes of Nortoncamp Wood rising in the distance. I have paused at this spot on countless occasions, gazing out across the fields towards the... #Shropshire

1/2 How magical is this - waves of mist rolling over Clee Liberty Common at sunset. I was standing on the ramparts of Nordy Bank hill fort, looking out across the Corvedale as this mesmerising scene unfolded in front of me. #Shropshire

A vivid band of colour lights up the sky above Ludlow Castle. Over the years I must have spent hours standing in the rain waiting for a rainbow to appear, but they were always too faint or too far over to one side. Yesterday, however, my patience paid off and I got exactly what I wanted. #Shropshire

A patchwork of green and gold in the Clun Valley as trees cast long shadows in the evening sunlight. I was standing above Newcastle on Clun for this shot, enjoying what is one of my favourite viewpoints in the whole of the county. In the distance is the looming shape of Corndon Hill. #Shropshire

Look at this - two young deer having fun in the rain as they chase each other around our garden. We’ve had several four-legged visitors lately, but I’m unable to identify the small creature in the final clip - could it be a stoat or a weasel? #Shropshire

Glowing colours in the autumn sunshine, with the tower of St Mary’s Church rising above the rooftops at Bridgnorth. The castle ruins and Castle Walk can be seen on the right, with Thatchers Wood in the distance. This shot was taken from High Rock at sunrise - a great to start the day. #Shropshire

A beautiful morning on the Llangollen Canal near Ellesmere, with narrowboats echoing the colours of autumn. This is a favourite spot of mine, especially at this time of year when the beech trees along the towpath turn a glorious shade of red and gold. #Shropshire

1/ Honestly, the traffic on #Shropshire's footpaths these days! I couldn’t help but smile when I encountered a local resident along the Severn Way, near Bridgnorth. This friendly cow stopped to stare at me but slowly ambled off as I climbed over the stile and headed out into the morning sunshine.

1/ What a sunset - a magical light fills the sky above the Clun Valley following a shower of rain. It was a real bonus when a rainbow appeared near Corndon Hill, but the sheep were totally oblivious to the drama overhead and just carried on with the serious business of eating. #Shropshire

1/ How’s this for a view - sunrise from the summit of the Wrekin, with a sea of mist stretching as far as the eye can see. If you look carefully you can pick out the church at Wrockwardine in the foreground, with its tower glowing a warm red in the early-morning sunshine. #Shropshire

I waited on Whitcliffe Common for the sun to come up over Ludlow and I managed to capture a hint of sunlight on the castle as it emerged from the early-morning mist. And yes - I purposely lined up the castle chimney in the centre of the shot with the masts on Brown Clee in the distance. #Shropshire

1/ It was one of those days - I had been chasing mist all over south #Shropshire and was getting absolutely nowhere. I started off on the Stiperstones at sunrise, followed by the Long Mynd and then Titterstone Clee, but despite the forecast there was no mist to be seen anywhere.
