It's opening night of Echoes of Yorkshire in York Museum Gardens, and it was a hoot!

Trip out to RSPB St Aidan's near Kippax today, amazing views, plenty of wildlife to see, and lovely homemade cake in the cafe.

First Ghosts in the Gardens sculpture I've spotted in York, and it's not in a garden - it's up Clifford's Tower.

Took a break from working in this heat and headed to Pocklington, where I found myself in the delightful Swirlz Gelato. That would be a lemon and blueberry sorbet in a pink sparkly cone because... why not? Stay cool, and look after yourselves.

Fun with a macro lens on a nature reserve

Wicker beavers at The Homestead Park in York

York's topiary - lions and tigers and bears, oh my!

Gorgeous little tansy beetle, only found around York (there has been reports of some down south but they eat mint, not tansy).

Clifford's Tower basking in the sunlight, all that is left of the medieval York Castle. It was disrespectfully known as The Great Mince Pie, in the days when mince pies had mince meat in them, and were raised pies not little discs you can fit in your mouth in one go. Well, I can fit one in whole.
