30 Days Wild

You’ve read the title wildlife photography- a day on the sofa and you’re confused right. Well it’s raining and it’s unrelenting. There has been no break in the weather so it’s a day on the sofa. You and I know rain and cameras don’t mix so where does the wildlife photography come into it if […]

Cloud formations can be so deceiving. We went for a walk and the sky was dark with rain clouds. The kind of dark that is ominous but fascinating and you can’t help, but look. Niggling in the back of your mind, You know that if you spend to much time admiring natures handy work you […]

My 30 days wild journey has given me a quiet weekend, with a spot of gardening. It’s nice to take it easy sometimes. I decided to tend my ultimate bug box. What is the ultimate bug box, for starters it’s not a box at all. I have a dark dank nook outside my bedroom window […]

I’ve been taking pictures for years and until today I haven’t been successful in capturing a fox on film. They are so fast and elusive, not to mention are dusk lovers which cameras most definitely are not. Hubby and I was playing a game of sneaking up on a muntjac deer, to see how close […]

I spent day Three of my 30 days wild of random wildness looking out my kitchen window. It was raining like you would expect for jolly old England. We are world famous for it after all. The rain was coming down all day, which meant we Couldn’t go out, but that didn’t stop me from […]

Day two of my 30 days wild celebration lands on a Sunday. I don’t like going out on a weekend (too many people…shudder) so Saturdays and Sundays are usually a bust for me as I like to stay away from humans as much as possible, but that didn’t mean there wasn’t any thing awesome to […]

30 Days Wild: Day One In the dusk of the setting sun, walking through knee high grass on an over grown path in the middle of a dark wood we spotted the eerie sight of an animal skull in among the vegetation. Stripped of all it’s flesh the white of the bones were like a […]
