Puggled joyful after a fun day following VIE Velo on their 100km Two Bridges fundraising ride (and I only did 1/3 of the distance they covered 😮‍💨). VIE Velo have been enabling visually impaired and sighted people to share the joy of cycling since 2017 - find out more here: www.vievelo.org/about

Currently choking through the Blaenavon wildfire smoke trail and hoping that it doesn't impact our small friends like this White-tailed Bumblebee or Golden-ringed Dragonfly 🤞

Taking time with tiny things on the River Usk including Demoiselles & Damselflies being flashy and aeronautically amorous whilst a Meadow Grasshopper keeps it covert.

Behold! The mighty power of 500px A.I. captioning! "Wild Animal Roaring Expressing Raw Power and Untamed Nature" Actually, it's yawning. Perhaps it's a raw, untamed, powerful yawn? 🥱

Exhilarated / exhausted from documenting three full-on days in Inverness at Youth Theatre Arts Scotland's brilliant National Festival of Youth Theatre 😀 + 💤 = 👏

And that, my friends, is the joy of riding of a bike 😀 Ace session documenting @cyclinguk.bsky.social Play Together on Pedals project in North Lanarkshire that helps preschool and early primary-aged children – and the adults around them – to enjoy cycling.

Fab time working with Firefly Arts on capturing their Summer Showcases at Reconnect Howden Park including their bold new production 'Anhedonic' before it heads to @ytartsscot.bsky.social National Festival of Youth Theatre in July at Eden Court in Inverness 👏

Two actors onstage in the theatre performance. They are embracing and both are looking at their mobile phones over the shoulder of their partner.
