I hope one day to see Roundheaded Rampion - it's such a striking flower.

I live in the #Chilterns on chalk and know my local #wildflowers well - but sometimes I crave a bit of exotica!

Snowdrops and Aconite in the #Chilterns

#Walking #Spring #Bloomscrolling

An area of ground under a beech tree which is evident by the base of its trunk (pale creamy brown and partly moss-covered) at the top of the frame, and the sunlight on the ground dappled by it's branches above us. At our feet is dry leaf litter pierced by abundant clumps of snowdrops and the green foliage and yellow flowers of Aconites. A path of packed mud can be seen coming into the right side of the frame and receeding behind the beech trunk.

Another couple from yesterday. I must remember to take carrots the next time.

A cold, but beautiful walk tonight. Including a glimpse of my little friends

Pines backed by setting sun. Moon above the treesDeer in the golden setting sun.

Nice wintery walk today. First one that was properly head-in-the-sun-crunch-underfoot.

#Winter

Wide track receding in front of us. Shallow ruts either side, giving way to frozen puddles that reflect the winter sunlight. Light powdering of snow on the middle half of the track, the high banks on either side, the grass, brambles, shrubs and trees. We are in shade where we stand, but, where the track bears right 50 metres ahead, the sunlight is golden

A new studio painting of the Stonor valley in the Chiltern hills. I'm trying to convey the beautiful winter light which broke through the clouds over the valley. Oil on gesso panel, 36 x 46 cm.

In the bleak mid winter.

Believe it or not this is a colour photo…

I was being watched this morning…

In light like today even railway bridges can look enticing.

This gate at the very start of my daily walk always feels like entering a different world.

Metal gate with low sun shining from behind it.

I see these three most days and I love the fact they are aware of me being there but don’t seem too spooked.

They looked slightly put out that I was crossing their field.
