I fled to Mastodon before the proverbial really hit the fan on the fallen bird and I feel at home there so won’t be leaving any time soon. However - totally gobsmacked by the number of old friends I’ve rediscovered on bluesky and it looks like I’ll make some new ones too 🙂

I invented a new phone to help save time in the morning
A drawing of a perfect phone that only has three buttons on it, one of them says IS HE DEAD one of them says AM I BROKE and the other one says RELAXING PUZZLE GAME

Happy Ewe Year everyone! #NewYear2026
A small group of very woolly teddy bear-like sheep in the corner of a field by a hedge. The grass has been well flattened and brown with dried mud. The sheep come in different colours - cream, grey and brown. Some are lying down, some standing. They are very close to each other. The cream sheep in the foreground is lying down and looking straight at the camera.

A snippet of timelapsed helm bar action for @lakesstiles.bsky.social Note - quite a subdued nor’easter and my tripod stayed upright this time 😀

Helm cloud bars at sundown @lakesstiles.bsky.social #sunset #clouds
Horizontal bands of cloud like stretched cotton wool go across the width of the photo. The nearest is illuminated in reddish orange by the setting sun. Further back are two blue grey bands of cloud. The sky is a shade of pale evening blue with a touch of orange lower down. At the bottom of the photo is a line of scruffy winter trees in silhouette and distant low hills with a purplish orange cast.

Tonight’s long #sunset
The sky at sunset. The upper two thirds of the photo is deep blue with some dark blue cloud. At the bottom of the photo are trees in silhouette and a distant electricity pole with a golden yellow glow behind. Above this is a long, horizontal, wavy band of cloud stretching right across the view. It is a deep orange colour.

Happy Winter Solstice folks❄️
Here’s to lighter times✨

Looking through dark bare frosted branches to the orange glow of the sun setting behind trees in the distance and in the low haar over a field.

Happy Winter Solstice - and Happy #NationalRobinDay!

What better bird to cheer up the shortest day? Reply with your favourite snaps of these beloved garden friends...

Let's fill our feeds with Robins. 😍
A Robin perches proudly on a snow-dusted wooden post, its bright orange-red breast glowing like a beacon of warmth against the frosty, pale winter backdrop. With its feathers fluffed against the cold and beak open in song, this little garden friend perfectly captures the timeless winter cheer of Robins on #NationalRobinDay.

This Government once vowed to be “the most nature-positive [we have] ever had”.

Months of blaming wildlife and stripping back protections have already made a mockery of that promise.

And if the rumoured cuts to BNG go ahead, it will deal yet another devastating blow to nature.
A Robin sits silhouetted on a bare branch against a muted golden sky, its beak open as if calling out. The scene is quiet and atmospheric, hinting at the fragility of nature at a moment when vital protections are under threat.

A few branches of a shrub with spiky green leaves and some delicate pale mauve flowers. Gravel, soil and light coloured paving slabs in the background.

I look through my window and what do I see? Blue sky! 😀 It’s been so dull today I was beginning to think it might be permanent 😞 #clouds #sky #weather
Looking through a plain glass window at a blue sky with streaks of white and grey cloud across it. The leafy top of a hedge can be sign at the bottom edge of the photo and to the right is a semi-transparent curtain in silhouette.

Large creamy white puffball on long grass. My foot, clad in a walking shoe, is beside it for size comparison.
