There are quite a few multi-trunk trees in Wanstead Park and they occur when two or more trees grow so closely together that they combine into one larger tree. This is one example of such a tree, which has recently been trimmed back to cull overlarg...0

A brilliant new exhibition on at The Photographers' Gallery in London. Daido Moriyama - the whole of the building given over to this remakable photographer. I went today, opening day, and it was very popular, but not crowded by any means. So man...0

The day was lovely and fresh after the storms of the past week, and the air was clean and bright. Lots of families out in the park enjoying the cooler weather. 0

Thought I'd use my little Lumix 20mm lens for a bit, so just went around the house and garden snapping stuff. I did a selfie in my 3-way mirror so it's here, just for the record. Will try it on some street stuff soon - I'd forgotten how nice it is....0

It was all happening in the park. The warm weather brought out a load of wildlife, most of which was moving too fast to snap, but I got a couple. The only slow things were some rather large terrapins who were parked on an unused coot's nest, sunbath...0

Or rather, how wonderful that Venus and Jupiter, and a star, Ceti 15 - 795.51 light years away - can still hold their own against the glare of houselights. We've had some beautifully clear skies over London lately, but last night I noticed there wer...0

Just wanted to document our local park. The water had gone from most of the lakes, and masses of vegetation has taken over. All the fish must have died, and the ducks on parts of the waterways are sinking in a sea of algae. A sad sight. Some kind ...0

Covent Garden was heaving with visitors yesterday. In fact, London seemed to be as full of people as usual everywhere I went, many from abroad too. 0

Gosh, 1 1/2 years since I've done a blog. I obviously didn't do anything interesting at all during that time. Anyway, just a snap of the regular litter pick meeting station in our local park. A group of us go out every couple of weeks, all year r...0

Watching The Red Shoes on TV yesterday, and Frostie seemed to be joining in. Hubs took this photo on his mobile so not such good quality, but I thought it was cute. 0
