I got a replacement for my Herdy mug. #TinyJoys

I've worked in this building for 15 of the last 18 years. Half my working life, and the two jobs I've had here have been the ones where I've felt most comfortable and able to be myself. But now we've moved out and next month we move to a shiny new building. I'm going to miss this place, though.
A blocky Modernist building in yellow brick with a wide external staircase and a large tree to the right hand side.

Sometimes you're in the right place at the right time to catch the light falling just so.
A smallish tree with a somewhat triangular shape and yellow-green leaves catching sunlight stands alone among yellowing grasses against a backdrop of darker trees and dramatic dark clouds.

Egrets, I've had a few... #birds
Three Great White Egrets. One is standing in water in front of a reedbed watching the other two, which are standing on the bank in front of the reeds with their wings partly opened and necks curled up, clearly having a bit of a disagreement.

Morning #heron, limned in light. #birds
A heron perches on a willow branch against a backdrop of green leaves. It is illuminated by morning sunlight making its outline almost seem to glow.

Also, this picture of a gannet in flight has a bonus photobombing puffin in the background. #birds
A gannet with wings outspread hovers over a grey sea, just after taking off from a clifftop where several more gannets are sitting. Above and to the left of the gannet you can also see a puffin in flight.

The puffins were the highlight of yesterday's visit to RSPB Bempton Cliffs, but the gannets were worth seeing too. #birds
A gannet in flight just above a slope covered in pink flowers. The sky behind the bird is pale grey.

The woods were green and peaceful with the very last of the bluebells still carpeting the ground in places.
A wood in springtime green, with a patch of bluebells visible between trees in the further distance.

Dreamy springtime woods.
A head of cow parsley against a backdrop of blurred sunlit green.

In every wood in every Spring, there is a different green.
A path running between trees clad in brilliant just-leafed green, with vibrant green spring grass on the ground around them.
