I live in the Surrey Hills in the UK. Happily married for many years. European/British/English Love Art, Music, Nature, Photography and follow politics closely. All photos I post are taken by me except reposts. No DMs
Two swans and a cygnet on the River Trent near Southwell, Nottinghamshire. There is also a duck flying above the river. Beautiful reflections on the water. #BlueSkyArtsShow #3rdPlace #Nottinghamshire #Rivers #Reflections #Swans #Photography #Landscape
I have 3 places tying for #BlueSkyArtShow #3rdPlace One of them is London. If you want to go to a historic (dating back to 1785), traditional and friendly pub near Covent Garden, London I would suggest this one. It’s also near many theatres. #London #Pubs #Photography
Walking across a bridge in October at Batsford Arboretum near Moreton-in-Marsh in the Cotswolds. #ColorADay #GreenSat #Reflections #Trees #BlueSkyArtShow #3rdPlace #Cotswolds #Autumn #Fall #Landscape #Photography
The wildlife has returned to the pond at Shottermill in the Surrey Hills after drainage work. A little egret perched in a willow tree with reflections on the water. #ColorADay #GreenSat A bit distant but #BirdoftheDay #LongBeak #Reflections #SurreyHills #Photography
My last #3rdPlace for #BlueSkyArtShow Is Oxfordshire and the Cotswolds where one of my sons & his family live. My photo is taken next to the 16C Falkland Arms in Great Tew. I haven’t missed my other son & family’s location! They are walking distance from my home. #Cotswolds #Villages #Photography
The cog wheel on the bridge at Maythorne, Southwell, Notts. Early 19C sluice gates & control gear on River Greet to control💦flow for the silk and cotton mills. My sister lives in this area so #3rdPlace #BlueSkyArtShow #Nottinghamshire #AlphabetChallenge #WeekMforMachinery #History #Photography
As I am a Londoner one of my 3rd places is a day out there by train. I often walk across Waterloo Bridge and see these two views. The pandemic gave me the habit of walking around London, or occasionally using a bus, rather than the tube. #BlueSkyArtShow #3rdplace #London #Cityscape #Photography

An October photo of Grasmere for #NationalPoetryDay “The trees are in their autumn beauty, The woodland paths are dry, Under the October twilight the water Mirrors the sky.” From W B Yeats The Wild Swans at Coole #October #LakeDistrict #Autumn #Fall #Landscape #Photography #Reflections
On National Poetry Day, here’s a short poem about the power of poetry to change the world.
It’s great when people dress to match the environment.😊 End of September at Hidcote in the Cotswolds. #HumansofBlueSky #Palacesandgardens #ItsaJungleoutThere #Gardens #Landscape #Autumn #Fall #Photography

Is this a Katsura Tree or a Black gum tree ? I’ve just deleted my 1st post of this because my iPad has made me question what it is. It is part of a tree at Sheffield Park. They have both types there. Anyway it has highly colourful leaves in autumn. #Abstractia #Leaves #Autumn #Fall #EastSussex
Photo of The Mill at Elstead now a converted pub in the Surrey Hills and the mill wheel. #AlphabetChallenge #WeekMforMachinery #SurreyHills #Pubs #Photography #Autumn #Fall

As Bob Ross might have said, “A happy little tree”. This one is dancing in the middle of a circle of other trees at Winkworth Arboretum. #SurreyHills #Trees #ColorADay #RedWed #Autumn #Fall #Photography
Fallen leaves in the garden. My photo from last year as autumn is not quite this advanced here yet. #Abstractia #Leaves #Autumn #Fall #Photography #ColorADay #RedWed
A bar-headed goose at The Heath, Petersfield last week. A ringed bird from Asia which I have seen in the distance there once before. Possible exotic escapee or unusual UK visitor. #BirdoftheDay #BestoftheMonth #Geese #Photography
