Going to try this for #blueskymonday Although it's cloudy behind, the reflection in the trailer is certainly very #blue If you squint you can see me and my eldest daughter in the skewed #reflection

A small trailer sits on a road under a grey sky. The reflection shown in the mirrored paneling, shows a beautiful blue sky along with red brick buildings and a white car.

#monochromemonday a spiders web encrusted in misty droplets 💦 I'm not a monochrome man, so it may be my last. Unless I feel suitable inspired...

A clear night on the Moor meant for some star gazing and photography with my dad (pictured with his beam). Obviously using a torch won't illuminate the stars. Infact quite the opposite will happen. Still, makes a cool picture...

What a beautiful day at the office. There's certainly a nip in the air (not mine, too cold to take my shirt off!)

#fingerpostfriday a freezing, frosty finger on the Moor. Doesn't sound too nice but always looks amazing. Especially with the fantastic Farndale behind...

The whirlpool galaxy. I took this in the North York Moors, an International Darksky reserve. The whirlpool galaxy is actually two galaxy's that are slowly entwining themselves. Oh, & they're 31 million lightyears away...

Just up from my office on a short walk I have some amazing views over the dales of the North York Moors. Its wintery now and a fresh breeze is giving my ears a chill. This is Little Fryup Dale...
#winter #landscapephotography #danbycastle #coldnips
A wintery scene with a leafless silhouette of a hawthorn on the right, a brown stubble field in the lower third bordered by a drystone wall. Looking into the green Valley of Little Fryup, green fields, farm buildings and Danby Castle can be seen. The sky is filled with small clouds with the low winter sun giving a yellow hue.

Saltburn Pier at low tide. Built in 1870, this victorian pier sits under the cliff lift, the oldest operating water balance cliff funicular in the UK. 5 mins down the road from me and the town where I was born. I love the reflection of the sky in the sands...

Wandering off to find the group I'm supposed to be leading. Beanie hat weather, but mainly because I'm in need of a haircut 💇‍♂️ Not angry, just my face 😄

#macromonday I snapped this poor Feathered Gnat that had succumbed to a spider web. The antenna were out of this world! I was amazed at the detail in the face. The super plush head gear enable the males to 'sniff' out the females. Very useful 💚🙌🏻🦟👃💃

A beautiful green spider known as a 'cucumber spider'. Sat in a bush on my garden. Green is definitely the best colour 💚💚💚

Sorry I've been a little absent! We've had our educators conference this week and I've been doing dark sky activities. Here a 2 hour exposure of the Andromeda galaxy, a mere 2 million lightyears away! I captured this from my back garden...

About lastnight 🤡👠💋
I won the costume competition as Harley Quinn 🤯💚
#Harleyquinn #dressup #costume
My all dressed and ready to go as Harley Quinn. My hair blue on the left, pink on the right and up in bunches. A blue and red shine jacket. Smudged make up and a toothy grin! Bat in hand I'm ready to take on Batman 💋 I also have heels and a skirt on but they're out of view 😔

Happy Halloween everyone! 🌌 I'm full of Astronomy wonder and thought I'd share the spookiest nebula I've seen. The Rosette Nebula—I captured this on Christmas night! I was astounded at 3 AM when I finished the stack; it looks so skull-like!
#halloween #astrophotography #rosettenebula
The Rosette Nebula. Found between Orion and Monoceros

I managed to capture Comet Lemmon last night. It's faint to the naked eye. This is from my scope...

What an amazing night at work. I led a nocturnal walk with bat detectors & UV lights. We had bats flying around our heads, bioflourecent fungi & insects. Clear skies to observe Saturn, comet Lemmon, Galaxies & nebula! We even had soup & drinks. Marvellous...

I had a fungal foray yesterday, which seemed apt for #fungifriday Got some Bay boletes, pennie buns, wood blewit and saffron milk caps. Fried them up on a stove and enjoyed the deliciousness. Pictures here show fly agaric and blusher...
#fungi #mushroom #foraging
Two fresh fly agaric toadstools by a fern leaf A Bay boletus. Not my favourite tasting, but very numerous The blusher. Similar to panther cap which is deadly. This is edible but care to ID and prepare must be taken. A few saffron milk caps and a bay boletus lay in a container. The boletus shows blue staining where handled.

I had a wander in a beautiful woodland today. Very autumnal. Looks like 2 have got stuck in the bog mindst...
#woodland #dendrophile #autumnal #fall
An autumnal avenue of trees. Brown leaves on the floor, yellow/green leaves on the trees. 2 pairs of legs stick out from the ferny bog. I hope they're OK!

#fullfrontalfriday and a hark back to when I was a WW2 soldier stuck in Dunkirk. It was an awsome job, my colleagues included the talented James McAvoy and Keira Knightley. Seriously though, being in the movie Atonement was an awsome experience...
#makingmovies #filming #extras
I stand in my WW2 military garb I walk in my WW2 military garb whilst 2 others sit in their military garb. Having been injured, I wait on a stretcher, hoping to be rescued and shipped back to blighty. I appear to have a severe abdominal wound.

Its narrow, but Staiths has this bum squeezer! Dog Loup, apparently the narrowest street in the world... not sure what constitutes a street though! 😆🙈💚

A vast number of fairy bonnet fungi growing from a mossy green stump.
