Greetings! I’m passionate about the natural world we inhabit; the written word; and photography. Oh, and I should mention – I’m an eternal optimist. My cup is always half full.

Thistles are to butterflies the same as a huge bag of Rowntrees fruit gums to me ... completely irresistible! . . . #smallskipper #skipper #butterfly #butterflies #britishbutterflies #britishwildlife #lincolnshire #summer #thistles #wildflowers #be_one_rural #fiftyshades_of_nature #inspiredbynature #explore_countryside #countryliving #country_features #countrylife #nature

Mama swan and her four cygnets. Dad was close by keeping a lookout for them all. If you've ever tried to capture a family of feeding swans with every head out of the water at the same time, you'll understand when I say it's almost impossible. I had the most enjoyable half an hour or so this afternoon, sitting on the lake bank whilst they repeatedly bobbed under the surface to feed, leaving their little rear ends sticking up and their cute webbed feet paddling the air just above the surface. . . . #swans #lake #cygnets #swanfamily #lincolnshire #countryliving #countrylife #inspiredbynature #be_one_rural #world_beautifulshots #love_rural #explore_countrysidep #country_features #capturingbritain_rural #rural #country_features #natureisamazing

This tree is one of a line of huge deciduous trees growing along the driveway. Today I noticed that there were large flowers on it that looked like water lilies, and I had no idea what they were. After a little research I now realise that this tree is a Tulip tree or American Whitewood (Liriodendron tulipifera), part of the magnolia family of trees. I've photographed the foliage of this beauty in all seasons and it's especially spectacular in the autumn, when it turns from apple green to shades of tan and golden yellow and its branches reach down and sweep the lawn. It seems these trees will live up to 200 years, and will only flower like this once they reach their late teens. I can only assume that this is quite a young tree as we've not seen these stunning flowers on it before. I think it beats the copper beech trees we have here with its special beauty. The postman in his van even stopped to take some photos of it when he delivered the post but he might have just been humouring me! 😊😊 . . #tuliptree #trees #lincolnshire #countryliving #gardens #splendid_trees #treesofinstagram #fiftyshades_of_nature #be_one_rural #inspiredbynature

Bees love the Meadow Cranesbill in the wild and overgrown field here. Wondering if the bees visiting the field today will be flying back to Alan's hives just up the road. If so we could soon be enjoying Lincolnshire honey made from these very wildflowers. I really like the thought of that. . . #honey #bees #wildflowers #meadowcranesbill #shoplocal #beehives #lincolnshire #lovelincolnshire #lincolnshirehoney #be_one_rural #world_beautifulshots #love_rural #explore_countryside #countrylife #countryside #countryliving #country_features #capturingbritain_rural #rural_love #itsthelittlethings #thisprettyengland #englishcountryside #ig_countryside

Are we swimming or are we not? OK, let's do it ... . . #geese #hartsholmepark #lincolnshire #gaggle
