An early morning winter chill swim, at the local lido. The pool is always looks vibrant against the dawn sky. I was a vibrant colour too, when I had to get out. #Vibrant #BlueSkyArtShow

I didn't tidy up the rudbeckia in the autumn. So glad I left the seed heads for these goldfinches. They loved them. #BirdOfTheDay #FoodFinds

The Mann Island building on Liverpool's waterfront. It was the day of the Eurovision final. Liverpool put on a great welcome and show. As the street festivities started the windows began to open. #windowsonwednesday

I'm not the creative here, but the Digital and Immersive Art exhibition at MOCO in London generously encourages self portraits. Great fun.

Nearly trod on these two little ones. They brought a bit of cheer to a grey day.

Amazed at what is still about in the middle of November. Felt like summer in the garden today, in Suffolk #bloomscrolling

The 🪶Mandarin Duck - IMO the most BEAUTIFUL duck in the world! This one was #paddling with the Mallards in the National Botanic Garden in Dublin and close enough to me to capture with my iPhone.

Good Morning! I took this photo in the Faroe Islands. It works for the #AlphabetChallenge #WeekSForShadows #EastCoastKin #Photography #Rainbow
With me in the center! Because...the rainbow's geometric center is precisely opposite the sun relative to my position, which is where the shadow falls.

Waiting patiently for a track to be cut through this landslide on the Karakoram Highway. Fortunately, the slide happened overnight when the road was empty. #TheRoad

Probably the last chance to enjoy sitting out on a Friday night without a coat on... Begonias.
