A glorious day to be out. Blue skies. Clouds. Sunshine. A cooling breeze and a symphony of birdsong.
Peering into landscapes such as in the first image, is always like peering into an @annadillon.bsky.social landscape painting - take a look at Anna’s wonderful art.
A headline from GB News stating: Motorists switch to using public transport to avoid paying £5 daily congestion charge
In shock news, motorists have switched to public transport to avoid paying the Oxford Congestion Charge.
A spokesperson* said: "This is exactly what was meant to happen, and it did."
A moment of bliss during a 12km training walk this morning ❤️
Scotland’s Pictish carved stones, dating from the first millennium CE, display a number of symbols of unknown meaning. Some symbols show animals, some are abstract/geometric, but the same designs can be found from Shetland to the Borders

I asked our local town council what they could do about safe and secure eBike parking & charging. “No one wants to park in the car park [where they have eV charging bays] & people can just take their bike batteries into a pub or cafe & charge them up” 🤬🙇🏼

A wonderful end to a wonderful day … so much beauty in nature
Daughter cycling through filters in the LTN
Here’s what I’ve learnt about cycling in a city with an 8 year old. For a start, many kids prefer to cycle than other ways of travelling.
It gives them freedom and autonomy. And yes, even in the rain. Recently my daughter was offered a lift when it was hammering … 1/10
That’s a beautiful soothing shot :)
“We're afraid of walkable distances now? — conspiracies & the 15-minute city.” If you somehow missed the unhinged conspiracy theories about the concept, listen to @brenttoderian.bsky.social’s National Australian Radio interview with @greenj.bsky.social. He called out the lies & tactics. #UrbanTruth

It’s the 140th anniversary of the birth of Peter Freuchen, anthropologist, arctic explorer, writer, WWII resistance fighter, quiz show contestant, film star, friend of Mae West, fucking enormous geezer, and maker of tools from his own frozen excrement... 🧵
A stream of mountain spring water meanders through a sunlit valley in the foothills of South Africa's Drakensberg. It rained frequently, but persistence paid off, and I was so glad to witness this glorious moment!

14 wonderful km up on the #Ridgeway It’s a landscape that feeds the soul
Also, if you borrow an author's book from a library in the UK, that author gets more than 12 pence per loan in Public Lending Rights. Any author can earn up to £6,600 per year this way.
Last year I dedicated six months to only shooting and editing for my UV floral series. Just one long flow state. I highly recommend the experience for anyone creative.
If you can't swing that kind of time, just keep in mind what sick days are really for: making art.

Someone told me lately "Bluesky is just like Twitter." I argued that was untrue on the basis that last time I had a Twitter account most times I got a new follower their bio said "single & looking for fun" & here when I get a new follower it tends to say something like "professor of rare moths".
