First bird of my day; the cries of rooftop herring gulls heard but not seen. A cormorant seen from the train window as the sun appeared in the sky.
A view through a train window of the yellow sun rising over the fields. The sky is orange and pink.

A fiery end to the day over Morecambe Bay. There was a tiny gap in the cloud just as the sun was setting. #phonepics #sunset #MorecambeBay #winter
A view of Morecambe Bay with the tide out, the wet sand a shiny grey colour. There is a bank of dark grey rain clouds filling the sky. In the centre of the picture, on the horizon, is the setting sun: a fiery orange and yellow ball, the sky glowing red around it.

Sunset at Warton Sands. #Lancashire #reflections #sky
The sun is setting behind a bank of cloud, lighting up the numerous potholes on the path below. The sun is setting behind a bank of cloud, an aeroplane contrail cuts through the blue sky. Two concrete outbuildings are silhouetted against the sky.

Happy #LancashireDay What a beautiful county to live in!
A collage of photos: The Pepperpot in Silverdale, Lancaster Castle, The Midland Hotel in Morecambe, St Patrick's Church in Heysham, the Eric Morecambe statue and a view of Lancaster from the castle entrance.

It was a beautiful morning at #RSPB Leighton Moss.
A Mute swan gliding along a body of water, its head and neck reflected in the water. The sky is clear blue, and the reeds are golden in the morning sunlight.

Sunrise over Ingleborough. View from the kitchen window of my new house. Happy Saturday! #dawn #weather
The dawn sky full of orange and pink clouds, with the silhouette of Ingleborough in the distance.

If photos could smell, this one would stink! This fungus had a putrid, rotting stench as I walked past. The Seek app identified it as jelly-ear fungus, but I'm not so sure. #fungusfriday
The fungus covering the base of an oak tree. Close-up of the fungus. Even closer-up view of the fungus.

I've just singlehandedly shifted a ton of hardcore from my drive to the bottom of my garden. One spade and two cheap buckets were all I needed. No need to go to the gym today! 💪

Just look at those doors! The main entrance to Canterbury Cathedral. #cathedrals #craftmanship

Saw this Dryad's Saddle fungus about 2m above the ground on a tree. I don't think I've seen one this big before! #FungusFriday

Happy #FingerpostFriday. Another fingerpost being claimed by nature, with an historic village well as an added bonus!
A wooden fingerpost mostly covered in ivy, with the black pump of an old village well standing amongst the undergrowth.

My favourite gate. I've taken so many photos of it over the years. I have a painting of it too. Anyone else got photos of it? #ArnsideKnottGate
A hand-made wooden gate in a dry stone wall, with views of Arnside viaduct and the Kent Estuary in the background.

When the public footpath goes up a cliff face.... #Silverdale #adventure
Fingerpost pointing to the cliff path. Footpath leading towards a small limestone cliff face. National Trust sign saying Woodwell Cliff, with the cliff in the background. A close-up view of the path up the cliff face.

@lakesstiles.bsky.social Railway stilin'
Three large stone steps leading through a wall onto the railway. There is a green traffic light, indicating that it is safe to cross the railway track.

I spied this beautiful ceiling decoration (not sure of the proper word) of a bird and its nest of chicks in the cloisters of Canterbury Cathedral. Could it be of a peregrine falcon, like the real one I'd spotted moments earlier perched on a pinnacle? #medieval #cathedrals #artwork
A plaster artwork of a bird with a nest of chicks. It is the central motif in a wheel-shaped pattern. A photo of the full wheel-shaped pattern with the bird and nest in the centre and flowers near the end of each "spoke".

Volume up to hear the Canterbury Cathedral organ accompanying this clip of a peregrine falcon on the cloisters roof. #Canterbury #birdsofprey
