Today is Earth Day.
Yesterday I rescued Wood sorrel from the roadside, torn from the hedge by passing tyres.
I held it — a small piece of the woodland world — and carried it somewhere quieter.
Such a small thing. So easily missed.
If only we noticed a little more.

New little Spirit doll available on my website 🌿
Inspired by nature, she is handmade and designed to look wonderfully weird and perfectly imperfect.

I despise with the heat of a thousand suns the way I have to be suspicious of all art I see now while I investigate it's authenticity, because this couldn't be more diametrically opposed to the state of mind one should be in while taking in all art.
There comes a time in life, when you look outside at the rain and think, “the plants’ll love this”.
Against the backdrop of a fully opened crimson rose a hovering green hummingbird slips its bill down into the yet folded bud of another soon to bloom red rose.
It took several weeks to capture a good photo of the resident Anna's hummingbird at a rose in the front yard...

I grew some fancy red and pink bellis one year and they crossed with all my wild ones, ever since there's been all these big pink tinged ones popping up all over the place. They're so pretty I love them

It's that time of year when the forget-me-nots and daisies take over the veg garden 😍🌱

I've learned to love and appreciate the help the wasps give me in my garden. Here they are pollinating soft fruit in the little orchard bit 🌱
They're tasty aren't they, I put them in lacto ferments too
Good morning everyone!
26F here, and the lady in the elegant burgundy gown is still wrapped in her fur coat.
This is a day and a week rich with fresh possibilities. Let’s see what we can make of it.
A macro photo of a Liverleaf flower that is more pink or purple than the usual blue.
It's officially spring here when the "blue-veis" (Liverleaf) and the "white-veis" (Wood anemone) cover the woods. Usually they are blue and white, but sometimes they are more purple or pink.

It looks lovely against that fresh green 😍

It's an all day chorus from 30 years of being fed every day in an organic woodland garden 😀
The cuckoo is back if you can hear her over the other birds!🌱

My photo shows a Hellenistic era hemispherical mosaic glass bowl viewed from above. The glass has a floral pattern made up of tiny, many-petalled blue, white, and yellowy-green flowers against a dark purple background (looks black in my photo). The bowl has an alternating diagonal-striped black and white glass rim. The bowl has been reconstructed from fragments and the plain light blue areas are where missing glass fragments have been replaced during reconstruction. It measures 13.2 cm in diameter and 7.5 cm in height. It was made in the eastern Mediterranean about 200-100 BC.
This Hellenistic mosaic glass bowl looks so modern, yet it was made over 2,000 years ago!
Ancient glassmakers created the tiny flower pattern using a technique now known as ‘millefiori’ (thousand flowers). A timeless design still made by glassmakers today!

Pretty pale pink flowers
I wish I could remember which radishes these were I'd grow them just for the flowers 🌱
I was just trying to pot on some brassicas and the birdsong was so gorgeous I had to keep stopping to record it! 🌱

I love this combination of cuckoo flowers and Snakehead fritillaries 🌱

Birth of a Poppy. One of the little miracles that happen around my garden. Nothing to do with my green skills. Just like the random Foxgloves and many other free flowers. It’s down to the wind and the birds

Today is the 2 year anniversary of when I met the Ravens. They just checked me out from a distance then! Here is some of my fav footage: them courting, feeding each other, barrel rolling and some of their vocalisations. They are the most amazing birds and I am so lucky to have them!

No matter how much they shout or how many lies they invent the time of the international ultraright has come to its end.

We are going to rebuild what they have tried to destroy &show the world that the future can be better ✊🏻
Right I'm convinced 😀 time to have a look at my huge fabric stash
