This is a watercolour painting of my cat Mia which I did on a postcard for a competition a few years ago. I didn't win! 😐

This was something I did for an art competition some years ago. They had a lot of entrants and they picked the best 100 to display at the art museum. Mine wasn't picked unfortunately.

What bird am I? 🤔 (See alt text for clue) 🌍🌏🌎 #WhatBird #BirdID | #birdsoftheworld #birds ❤️🦜
"I am a small and energetic cosmopolitan bird often seen "running" back and forth with the waves on sandy beaches. I have a straight black bill and lose my brownish tones for a pale grey-and-white look in the winter. What bird am I?" Image description: A photo of a small shorebird in non-breeding plumage. The bird has a rounded white belly and chest, with a back covered in intricate mottled patterns of grey, tan, and black. Its head is mostly white with a faint tan wash and a darkish stripe through the eye. It stands on thin black legs in a shallow, reflective pool of water on a sandy shore. Its straight black bill is pointed downward, touching the sand as if foraging. The background consists of soft-focus blue water and tan sand ripples. 📷: Photo by JacekBen via Pixabay https://pixabay.com/users/jacekben-12984472/

A very small slate-gray bird with a white belly and tiny beak is perched on a bare tree branch in the late afternoon on a very cold, snowy autumn day. Towering above it is the blurred, blue bottom of the Anthony Wayne Bridge.

A ragdoll cat laying on the floor giving herself a wash. You can see her tongue out as she is washing. She is lying on one side with her head turned to the left washing part of her fur. She has a dark face, and dark paws one paw is resting on her side and you can see it next to her level with where her tongue is out. Her other front paw is flat on the ground facing forwards.

A Canada Goose and goslings from April.

Both parents were shepherding a total of seven goslings down at the wildlife refuge back in April. They were totally attentive and on the lookout for any signs of trouble for their brood. Fluffy little goosebumps in yellow and brown.

I’m always a sucker for the textures you find on these shores. This weathered driftwood on the smooth sand is the perfect anchor for a sky this loud. Happy #Solstice #Stunday!

Driftwood branches rise from smooth sand on a quiet Lake Michigan beach at sunset, with the sun low on the horizon casting warm orange and pink light across layered clouds, gentle waves along the shoreline, and faint footprints trailing down the beach.

Having just discovered #SquirrelSaturday, I thought I'd post one of my favourite Red Squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris) photos, taken at Alverstone Mead on the Isle of Wight. Such cute little characters!
#EastCoastKin #UKWildlife #Photograph #mammals
A red squirrel is sitting on an short broken branch next to a tree trunk. It has a something in its front paws which it's holding under its mouth. It has tufty fur on its ears, and its wispy tail is wrapped over its back. It has a dark eye surrounded by a ring of white. the background on the left is a moss covered tree trunk, and on the right is defocussed blue sky and soft white clouds.

At dawn over Srah Srang, a lone cyclist pauses by the water, head bowed as morning light ignites the sky. The bicycle and figure form a quiet silhouette against reflections of gold and calm.

Two people walk along the shoreline at low tide, seen as small silhouettes against a pastel sky. Pink and pale gold clouds stretch above the ocean, while dark, wet sand in the foreground reflects the sky in long, rippled bands.

A Swan preening for #SwanSunday #Stunday #Birds #photography #nature #wildlife #Nikon #ThePhotoHour
A Swan on the water preening. The Swan is facing with it's back end facing the camera. It's neck is turned to the right. It is preening it's feathers but you can't see the face or beak of the Swan as the breeze has blowen up some of the feathers and they are blocking you seeing that part of the Swan. The part of the neck you can see has the sun shining on it. All around the Swan is water. Photo posted for #SwanSunday and #Stunday

Sleeping Swan for #SwanSunday #nature #wildlife #bird #photography #ThePhotoHour #Nikon
A Swan on the water sleeping. The Swan has it's head tucked under a wing. You can see the side of the Swan's body and the back of it's head and neck. There is a bend in it's neck because it is leaning back to be able to tuck it's head under the wing. The water is dark because of the light, the Swan stands out because of this

A photo of a black and white cat sat in the snow. The cat is sat looking straight at the camera. You can see her face that has black patches above both eyes just below each ear. There is a white flash of white on her forehead, she has white cheeks, a small pink nose and under her chin on the left had side there is a small patch of black the other side on the right is white. Her front and front paws are all white. Her back is black with a big white part of fur that you can see towards the bottom of her right hand side where you can also see one of her white back paws. Her tail is black and you can see that on the ground facing to the right. Behind her is some snow and part of a flower bed some of which is covered in snow. Further up you can see some green bits probably grass or weeds where the snow didn't cover that high up. The sun is our and is shining onto the cat from the left. Photo posted for #ThrowBackThursday

There's only one way to spend a wet Thursday #Cat #pet #catsky #photography
A wicker cat bed with an arch entrance so a cat can lie in there. Then a second round bed on top of that. There is a cream cushion in both beds. The top bed has a long haired grey cat lying in it. She has one leg stretched out towards the right. The bed is in front of a grey tv unit so you can see two shelves within it that have items on them and also part of the television on the top of the tv stand. In front of the cat bed there is a light blue blanket with a white edge. The blanket has cats on it and is on a foot stool. Near the bottom right hand corner you can see part of a black cat her tail and a small part of her back because she is looking out the french doors at the rain. You can also see the rain on the glass of one of the doors
