#BirdOfTheDay is #Branched, birds on thin branches. The Alt theme is #Grounded, birds standing on the ground. A beautiful white mute Swan standing by our local fishing lake. Sadly not seen either of the usual pair this season

A look down the Alcantara Gorges, Sicily. This is a natural basalt canyon formed from a historic eruption of Mt Etna in which the lava flowed into the Alcantara River where the lava rapidly cooled forming these columns, over the years the river has eroded a deep, narrow canyon through the formations

#BirdOfTheDay is #BirdsUpClose Any bird at close range, allowing you to see their lovely fine details! Closeup of a greylag goose with a trace of a grassy snack in its beak #Nature #bird

#BirdOfTheDay theme is: #Parenting; of any form: nesting feeding etc. A family of Canada geese enjoying a sunny day at our local fishing lake. Love the way the parents keep the youngsters safely tucked between them #stunday #nature

#WallsOnWednesday Love lane in Dublin! One of my favourite little hidden places in the city. The wall on the right is filled with tiles with quotes about love from various songs and shows as well as heart patterns! The wall on the left is painted with hearts that appear to be leaves on trees!

#BlueSkyArtShow Sunset over the River Duoro on my last day in Porto (September 2025). Wasn’t expecting a sunset on this night as it was super cloudy but this one appeared for about 10 minutes!

Mick relaxing on holiday in Warkworth, Northumberland July 2022. Alfie's not overly affectionate (unless food is involved) so a rare lads moment indeed #terriertuesday theme of #cuddletime #btposse #dogs

We have a tiered/terraced garden and Alfie likes nothing better than climbing to the top and watching the world go by This photo is 10 years old so there's no grey whiskers yet #TerrierTuesday theme of #Tiltyhead
