Tourettes, Autism, Astronomy, Nature, Cricket and Running. Rubbish at all of them.
We have a bit of a thaw in progress, so I'm glad I got this shot earlier of a beautiful ice formation.
It's location - our campus smoking shed ..

Lots of hard ice still about, although not as bad as I feared, so walked to work rather than cycled.
45 minutes in -5!
First day back, the moon setting over a frozen badlands

Thanks for the amazing reaction I've getting to some of my recent posts, and hello to my new followers!
I'm a nature photographer based in England, with Tourettes, autism and all manner of neurodivergence thrown in.
I'm a runner too, some fabulous sunset views last night.

Snowdrops in the cemetery. The small pleasure of an hour's walk listening to radio 4. The cold crisp day was enjoyable.

Was rather astonished to find a buff tailed bumblebee queen on the wing today, feeding off mahonia.
Hope she goes back to sleep, a cold snap is coming.

Early in the season for them, but I headed to the friary gardens, home of the great tree, to look for aconite.
And they were out! Little blonde heads in their green cloaks.

Even the hazel catkins are opening out before the year has even ended, and their own tiny flowers are threatening to bloom.

I wonder how fungi go down on blue sky?
New to me, came across this yellow staghorn on a walk through stapleford woods.

Black and white scenes from around the town and park as I mooched about on a grim day!
The sentinel at work doing it's crane things. Feels like it's been there forever.

Second wildflower to bloom this cold season after snowdrop is this gorse bush in our campus.
We had bees on it mid January last year.
