Hope so. Very annoying and limiting at times.

Lovely pictures.🤩 It's on my list to do... eventually. 👍

Steep muddy steps lead down into the deep chasm of Lud's Church.

Yes brilliant. Warm enough and hard enough for a right muck sweat. Cool in the shadow but tolerable.
Knackered but cheered. 👍

Cheers. Hope so! Has done wonders for the mood but the cursed knee is sore. I'll worry about that tomorrow? 👍

This Sunday! 🥳

Thanks, Val. I blame one of my pals for making me so it! 😲

Why do people with mental or physical health vulnerabilities need call essential firm after firm & govt departments too to declare it, needing repeat the same painful, possibly embarrassing explanations. Today @MMHPI is calling for a 'tell us once' system www.moneyandmentalhealth.org/press-releas...

First walk out in ages...

I am bloody shattered! 😩 Not sorry though! 😀

Promising? 👍

Ambitious bushsnake! 🐍😳

#Spotted #bushsnake bitten off more than it could chew. It tried to hoist the rather large #Tree #Frog up into the rafters but it proved too difficult. In the end they both fell down on the verandah and both disappeared.

Echoes of You…🌺

Im Vordergrund stehen Schneeglöckchen mit weißen, glockenförmigen Blüten und schmalen, grünen Blättern. Daneben blühen zahlreiche Krokusse mit violetten Blütenblättern und leuchtend gelben Staubgefäßen. Das Sonnenlicht hebt die Farben der Blüten hervor, während der Hintergrund aus weiteren grünen Blättern und unscharfen Blüten besteht.

Frühblüher treffen sich abends im Wald. 🌱
Early bloomers meet in the forest in the evening.

Ah sod it! I sympathise. Hope she gets seen soon.

Ich wippe wieder - und solange mein Mobiles das als Mensch erkennt, ist nichts verloren 🤣

Im Vordergrund verläuft ein gepflasterter Weg aus unregelmäßig geformten Steinen, der in eine flache Wasserfläche übergeht. Dahinter erstrecken sich Salzwiesen mit niedriger Vegetation und kleinen Wasserläufen bis zum Horizont. Der Himmel ist weitgehend klar, mit einem sanften Farbverlauf von blassem Orange am Horizont zu hellem Blau im oberen Bildbereich. 

Salzwiesen zwischen Meer und Land.
Salt meadows between sea and land.

Spring is in the air, Peregrine Falcons yesterday, Isle of Man

A horizontal photo of winter sunrise scene along Lake Superior. In the foreground, a somewhat U-shaped island of black basalt lays with the bottom of the U pointing towards the upper left corner. The island has a partial sheet of thick, white, glossy ice on it. The rock is wet from waves.A second rock sits below the base of the U, with a rocky point jutting into the scene behind this rock. The lake is mostly calm. A few small waves can be seen breaking around the smaller rock. This photo was taken a bit before sunrise. The entire scene is filled with a soft purple light. The horizon line sits on the upper 1/3 line. A thick bank of clouds sits just above the lake on the horizon. Above these clouds, a high layer of thin clouds reflects purple, pink, yellow, and orange tones from the coming sunrise. Scattered lower clouds appear dark purple.

The start of an epic sunrise in Grand Marais, MN.
