We shouldn’t forget to look down by our feet. This is a bed of lichen and mosses

I never feel safe till March is out. It’s a month that too often has tripped us. Yet I have been planting shrubs into my garden this week

March is not a good month for reliability … But trending in the right direction.

You get so you don’t want to take any more photos of it. But though I say it’s everywhere, it is mostly the peaty-heathlands

I can understand that. I am so done with the snow and cold. I no longer feel pulled to go out and photograph it

Always have flowers. My treat to myself.
You know, my mother used to wait for us to buy her flowers (which I did with every visit) yet she had a garden full of them.

After doing so many nature photographs, especially of plants and fungi, do you find yourself paying greater attention to the natural world around you?

Yes. And it’s something my daughter remarked on too. And now I find myself with *wild flowers* growing in my lawn. Others might call them weeds but celandine and speedwell aren’t weeds to me
