Rachel - Wander & Wonder

Hello, I’m Rachel 🌍 I share travel moments, books, polaroids, animals & small beautiful things. Slow pace, gentle curiosity, and kindness welcome here 💜 #wander #quietjoy

🍂 A little October magic from Scotland 🌿 New journal, autumn colours and slower evenings. In Scottish folklore, Samhain marked a time when the boundary between our world and the Otherworld grew thin. ✨ What's your favourite autumn ritual? 🍄 #Scotland #Autumn #Folklore

Under the weather today but some fresh air and sunshine this morning followed by a visit to a garden centre made my day a little better 🤒 🌞 🪴 #bloomscrolling #bluesky #dogwalk #endofsummer #photography

A tiny bunch of wildflowers and a very nosy bouquet inspector 🌼🐾 Finding little pockets of lovely on an ordinary walk. Some of them have petals....some have a very boopable nose. 💛 #dogsofbluesky #wildflowers #bloomscrolling #august #photography

Good evening, Bluesky 🦋 Soft skies to end the day ✨💜

August colour walk #photography #colourwalk #red #summer #blueskyfriends

A little bit of magic hiding in Shannon’s garden 🌿✨ Raindrops on petals, a very busy little bee, peeling eucalyptus bark and fireweed glowing in the sunshine. Sometimes the loveliest little worlds are right under your nose. 🐝🌸 #Photography #GardenPhotography #NaturePhotography #Bloomscrolling

On the way home from setting up for my goddaughter’s christening, I spotted this light through the trees and immediately made my friend pull over so I could scramble over a hedge with my camera. 😂 Golden hour will get me every single time. 🌅🌿 📍 Shropshire, England #Photography #GoldenHour #Sunset

Edinburgh, 12 August 2026 🌒✨ Standing beneath an eclipse with my Mum and watching the light change around you is one of those strange, fleeting moments that makes the world feel enormous and magical. Very glad I looked up. 🌙☀️ #SolarEclipse #Eclipse2026 #Edinburgh #Scotland #Astrophotography

I'm tired and I'm sad but this too shall pass. Here's some pretty pictures to brighten your feed.

Weeks of noise, now choosing quiet. Long weekend spent breathing a little deeper, moving a little slower, and disappearing into pokopia with a cup of tea while my nervous system remembers what calm feels like again 🌲 ☕
