Nature and Wildlife

We spent a late afternoon/early evening walking around one of our favorite places, Gibraltar Point Nature Reserve near Skegness. A minute walk from the beach is a stretch of salt marsh with a carpet of lilac colored sea lavender. Note: Bonus sky lark in sea lavender photograph :-) We saw a butterfly fly past, it […]

It rained all day today, so I resided myself to day 10 of our 30 days wild challenge being a bust, but what do you know on our local park there was a big old tree stump that had some cool fungi growing on it. I’m a fan of fungi. There weird little specimens that […]

It’s usually very difficult to see a tree creeper let alone snap a picture, but this little guy decided to take a quick nap on a tree trunk. My hubbies keen eye spotted it before it woke up and was off on it’s way again. Hoping sideways up the trunk to the top of the […]

I have been trying to take a good photograph of an Oyster catcher for years, but they were always too far away even for my professional camera. If I tried getting closer they would be off. Not today! Today I gotcha Oyster Catcher #30dayswild 2016 Marie Law

Whooo 30 Days Wild starts tomorrow. We are huge wildlife lovers. It would be very safe to say it’s our favorite hobby, so we weren’t about to give up the opportunity to join in on the Wildlife Trusts 30 day challenge to do something wild every day in June. It’s up to you how you […]

I remember this :) In 2014 I was out in the middle of a wood. Covering the ground on the path wasn’t grass like you would expect but clover. I set myself the challenge to find a four leaf clover. I didn’t take my eyes off the ground and didn’t tell my hubby what I […]

Going through some old photographs and look what I found, a cute little tree monster :) Finding this little guy has inspired me to do more photography sketches, when I’ve got the time of course It’s a lot of fun taking photos, looking for things to turn into a piece of art. It tunes your […]
