The bluebells in my local woods are starting to look pretty nice.

Thanks a lot Mick... appreciate that.
I'm reposting this shot for #Sharemondays2026. It shows a lone tree (a hawthorn I think) being lit by the sun, and standing out against a backdrop of shaded conifers.

An airborne image of the Mont Blanc range in the European Alps. This was taken from a flight back to the UK from Italy. It is a black and white image showing the rugged mountains of the Alps against the white snow cover - some of it blanketing glacier ice. There is also swirling cloud.

I was treated to some amazing views of the Mont Blanc Massif yesterday, on a flight back from Naples. Glad I had my camera with me.

After much deliberation, my choice for #Sharemondays2026 this week is this shot by @dammo.bsky.social It wasn't an easy decision, but I kept coming back to this one. It has a real sense of mystery and I couldn't help but be reminded of some of Edward Hopper's work. Congratulations. Over to you.
Lots of fantastic and fascinating images for this week's #Sharemondays2026. It was a tough job but these 4 images most caught my eye & are on my shortlist. Congrats to @circa35mm.bsky.social @dammo.bsky.social @stonesphotographs.bsky.social and @ledarville.bsky.social I'll announce my winner later.
At the edge of Blelham Tarn.

AS BAD AS EACH OTHER
The Strait of Hormuz
is much in the nuz.
How I wish it were not –
I’d regime change the lot.
It came as a bit of a surprise tbh. I checked the apps last night too and they showed nothing happening. However, I woke early and looked out the window and saw the conditions. A bit of good fortune. Now hot-footing it back to my desk for a 9am work start
Cheers Mike. Sorry you missed it though.
Yes indeed!
What a morning!
