A red squirrel stands on a branch in the centre of the photo, reaching up to a smaller branch. The squirrel is high up in the trees at the Yorkshire Arboretum. The photo was taken at the end of May 2024, so the leaves are a vibrant green.

A photo of a green field with white flowers in the foreground, and the moon in the sky. The photo was taken in the evening as the light gradually fades. There is a blueish tint to the sky with some pink on the horizon as the sun has already set.

A family of swans swimming in a river in Norwich, England. There are a mother and father swan watching over their young cygnets swimming. They are surrounded by trees and other plants, and the scene is very peaceful and calm.

A man and woman walking in Manchester next to the bus station. The photo was taken in May 2024 and there are a lot of wild flowers alongside the pavement they are walking on. In front of them is a large glass building and a smaller brick building, as well a road with cars.
