Full grown larva if Scarlet Tiger moth... lovely to see

Nomada goodeniana I reckon

Looks like a male Andrena haemorrhoa

It is an astounding place..and the sheer size of it

Ewelme: Church of St. Mary the Virgin. Wonderful late Medieval Church (15thC) packed full of treasures, including the magnificent tomb of Alice de la Pole (née Chaucer, Duchess of Suffolk, d.1475) and the contemporary Chapel of St John replete with decorations that survived 2 iconoclasms.

One of very few Michelangelo sculptures outside Italy. This quite staggering work is in the Onze Lieve Vrouwekerk in Bruges, Belgium

Remarkable surviving 15th/early 16thC fabric from Onze Lieve Vrouwekerk in Bruges

One of the finest views of our Cathedral complete with toilet paper decoration

Constable Corner, Harnham, Wiltshire (England). River Nadder with toilet paper adornments on riverside shrubs. Lovely

And one from the archives....Kelvin-Helmholtz clouds over Alderbury (Wiltshire)from March 2024.

I guess this is what English cathedrals might have looked like if we had built any in the 16th Century. Onze Lieve Vrouwekathedraal, Antwerp

Wonderful doorway in the marvellous single celled apsidal church at Winterborne Thomson (Dorset).

Superb presentation tonight Jonathan. Bravo!

It's that time if year again. Keith Norman's beautiful reminder of the transience of summer......and of life itself

Glad the perpetrator didn't add an apostrophe between the "r" and the "s" in the final word

Thousands of male Colletes hederae (Ivy Bee) on every cluster of flowering Ivy (Hedera helix) here in Salisbury (England). Lots to put on iRecord!

Lurking in the small garden pond yhis evening

I do hope that everything gets sorted out swiftly Kate. Look forward to hearing of a full recovery in due course

I visited the church of St. Basil at Toller Fratrum (Dorset) today to marvel at the extraordinary late saxon font. The church was originally part of a Knights Hospitaler establishment.
