I've returned home from spending just short of a full working week studying bees out in the field, and honestly it has only furthered my realisation that there is nothing I'd rather do more with my one wild and precious life 🐝
Ladies of a certain age...
Remember rubbing talcum power into your roots and asking your mum to run the clothes iron over your hair before the dawning of dry shampoo and hair straighteners?
We really didn't care about our physical safety did we

thank you pal 💚
F*CK THE MENOPAUSE.
And F*CK CANCER for putting me through this much earlier than I was prepared for.
That said, I couldn't feel prouder of my womanhood and the strength I have found in myself as I navigate these difficult experiences 💪
March has been a particularly difficult month for me and I've hardly left the house. As always, my garden birds, as common as they are, have remained my salvation. And step by step, I feel like I'm getting a little better.

Get him on 'suicide watch' NOW! I'm sick of these monsters getting away with it
One from my Nikon B700 archives. A beautiful Red Fox (Vulpes vulpes) I encountered on a walk along the canal, back in May 2022.

I am in love with Rosemary Mosco's latest cartoon.

Thank you Mum for sharing this photo of me in the 1990s, playing by my happiest place as a child – our garden pond 🥹
BOG WITCH FOR LIFE 💚
Seeing that repulsive smirk on the face of serial killer Steve Wright all over the news wasn't how I'd hoped to start this week, but at least he's been found guilty again.
Her name was Victoria Hall.
She was 17-years-old.
Say her name.
She has no business being this perfect my heart can't take it

This kingfisher took absolutely everything out of me — 23.5 hours of work! As one of my favorite birds, I just had to capture its stunning turquoise plumage in wool.

Yeah I've had a few beers but so what, show me a better DILF than Bill Pullman in Casper (circa 1995)
WOMAN, LIFE, FREEDOM
Do I contradict myself?
Very well then I contradict myself,
(I am large, I contain multitudes.)
May I interrupt our Teams meeting with a cheeseboard at this trying time?
Yep! A little flock of them appeared on my street in Leeds, close to the city centre!
I am thinking of you and your wife ❤️
I title this masterpiece: 'Passive-aggression in the office kitchen' ☕️
She's magnificent!
