A black-furred whippet-type dog sitting in the foreground. He's old and has white fur around his muzzle and eyes. He's sat on large stones, which open up to farmland stretching to the horizon. A beam of light - a "god ray" - is breaking the otherwise overcast lighting and illuminating a small portion of the background.

Post 100!

Here's my beloved Tes very kindly indulging me on a walk to a high place.

A beam of sun in an otherwise overcast sky illuminating fields. There are some similar beams in the background. A reservoir can be seen in the distance. In the foregreound, heather is surrounded by rocks on both sides.

An unusually pretty god ray in the view from The Roaches on the borders of the Peak District, Staffordshire yesterday. I was expecting boring overcast lighting - just get out there!

🌱 Round-leaved Sundew (𝘋𝘳𝘰𝘴𝘦𝘳𝘢 𝘳𝘰𝘵𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘧𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘢) are #carnivorous #flowering #plants native to most of Europe.

🪰 They are found in #moorlands, where the #soil is low in #nutrients, leading them to carnivory. Their #nectar like mucus attracts small #insects that they trap and digest on the outside!
