A few shots from my trip up the #Wrekin yesterday, I think it looks calmer and warmer than it actually was.
Pretty clear views in all directions out over #Shropshire which I always appreciate.
ALT The view out across Shropshire with the redundant Wrekin rifle range in the foreground.
ALT The much appreciated Wrekin trig pillar, always makes for a good feature in photos.
ALT My favourite tree standing majestically atop the Wrekin.

Sunday morning and all is peaceful in the studio.
Thereโs a new cross in the collection that Iโm working on, a small field mouse in the meadow. Brushes down, time to water the pots.
Bryn and I are heading out with a friend to do a beach clean later on and commune with the sea.

It was very misty here in Glastonbury at sunrise. I managed to get a quick phone pic of this very vivid Brocken Spectre around the shadow of St Michael's tower. I have seen them before up there but not as vivid in colour as this one.

A pair of Cornish Choughs photographed near St Ives last week. ๐คโค๏ธ Iconic birds of Cornwall, featured on the Cornish coat of arms and once extinct in the county. Great to see them thriving again. #Cornwall #Chough #Wildlife @ILoveCornwallUK #birding #stives

David Hockneyโs mum visited him in Southern California after heโd moved there in the 1960s, and as they drove back from the airport she looked up into clear blue sky and said,
โI don't understand it. Such lovely drying weather and no one's got their washing out."
Bless.
