Did you know that I have egift cards for my website? https://t.co/ugcKaUOUcz It can sometimes be difficult deciding on a print size for a friend’s wall, the right coasters for your auntie’s living room when you can’t quite remember what colour scheme they’ve gone for, or even

The bird baths in my garden are always very popular, especially on a sunny day... here's a Wren taking a prolonged bath this morning before a Robin dropped in to take its place! (6th October 2025)

Lots of #hedgehog activity in our garden last night! One looks really young, and the last looks either extremely well fed... or about to give birth. I believe they sometimes have a second litter in September/October. Can anyone tell me for sure, either way, from this clip?

“Every spark returns to darkness. Every sound returns to silence. Every flower returns to sleep with the earth. The journey of the sun and moon is predictable. But yours, is your ultimate ART” - from 'Rise Up & Salute the Sun' by Suzy Kassem #DailyInspiration #nature #photography

Been following this wonderful artist since her early years ‘princess drawing’ phase, so can’t wait for next spring!
Sooo… little announcement…I’m starting to paint towards my first solo exhibition! It’s not until spring, but I’m already equally excited/panicked. Had several doubting-myself melt downs just thinking about it, but I’m painting now and will share sneak peeks as I have them ☺️

Burr knots (burrs or burls) are masses of small root initials, plant cells that are dividing and transforming into root tips, which appears on the above-ground portion of a rootstock, or on the tru…

In ancient Greece, it was said mushrooms sprang up where Zeus, the King of the Gods, cast his lightning bolts. Modern studies show that strikes can indeed boost mushroom growth, even doubling yields on spore-laden logs. The myth may have held some truth after all! #FolkloreSunday
