Two large woodpeckers on a fence post, one on the upper left and one on the lower right, against a blurred green background. Their bodies are black with a white stripe on the shoulder, and their heads are red with a white stripe below the eye. The upper bird shows his light and dark brown speckled belly.

I love gulls. Every single night they perch on this silo in the factory at the back of our house. And then they have a happy hour as the sun sets. Wonderful. Some pigeons joined them on this day ( #photobomb πŸ™„)

On a cold January walk this church (Worstead, Norfolk) was a lovely surprise. The sun was shining through the windows onto these lovely mobiles, made by children from local schools #WindowsOnWednesday

An early morning winter chill swim, at the local lido. The pool is always looks vibrant against the dawn sky. I was a vibrant colour too, when I had to get out. #Vibrant #BlueSkyArtShow

I didn't tidy up the rudbeckia in the autumn. So glad I left the seed heads for these goldfinches. They loved them. #BirdOfTheDay #FoodFinds

The Mann Island building on Liverpool's waterfront. It was the day of the Eurovision final. Liverpool put on a great welcome and show. As the street festivities started the windows began to open. #windowsonwednesday

I'm not the creative here, but the Digital and Immersive Art exhibition at MOCO in London generously encourages self portraits. Great fun.

Nearly trod on these two little ones. They brought a bit of cheer to a grey day.

Amazed at what is still about in the middle of November. Felt like summer in the garden today, in Suffolk #bloomscrolling

The πŸͺΆMandarin Duck - IMO the most BEAUTIFUL duck in the world! This one was #paddling with the Mallards in the National Botanic Garden in Dublin and close enough to me to capture with my iPhone.

Good Morning! I took this photo in the Faroe Islands. It works for the #AlphabetChallenge #WeekSForShadows #EastCoastKin #Photography #Rainbow

With me in the center! Because...the rainbow's geometric center is precisely opposite the sun relative to my position, which is where the shadow falls.

A lone scabious hanging on to the summer, in November.
Have a good week.
