Active wasp nest on my hike yesterday. Even with the destruction and the very cold temps, there was still enough activity to make me keep a distance. #hike #getoutdoors #wasps

At the base of a tree lies a wasp nest, broken into about 12 large pieces, some opening the insides towards us to see closed or occupied cells.

I took a trip to Deerhust a few weeks ago, visiting the Anglo-Saxon site of St Marys Church and Oddas Chapel.

While there I improvised some filming. It's taken a little while, and I wish I'd had my equipment, but the video of that visit is now live.

The YouTube video thumbnail for my video about my visit to St Marys Church and Oddas Chapel

One and a half hour walk in a forest really does wonders to my brain.

The second set of pics from my Deerhurst visit.

This is St Mary's church, which has it's origins in the 8th century. The church has grown and changed over the centuries, but to stand in such an ancient building was incredible. The third image shows the Deerhurst Angel, and the last shows a Wolf head (one of a pair).

A picture of St Mary's as I walk along the path towards it.

A picture of the interior of St Mary's, taken from the end of the aisle looking towards the altar.

The Deerhurst Angel, placed high on a wall at the back of the church by the ruined Apse.

One of the carvings of a Saxon wolf head, there's one each side of the door.

A cascading waterfall flows through a series of rocky ledges surrounded by dense woodland. The water, filled with bubbles and foam, winds down the falls against a backdrop of mixed trees under a partly cloudy sky. Various rocks and grassy patches line the riverbanks, enhancing the natural, rugged landscape.

A low-angle shot looking up a large, tall tree with rough, textured bark. The tree branches spread out into a dense canopy of green leaves against a bright, clear blue sky. The sunlight filters through the leaves, creating a bright and airy mood.

A sunlit stream flows through a lush, green forest on a bright day. The water has a striking reddish-brown colour in parts, reflecting the sunlight and trees. On both banks, tall trees with dense canopies provide shade. The ground beside the stream is a mix of pebbles, rocks, and foliage, giving the impression of an untouched, serene natural landscape. The sky above is a clear, vibrant blue with some clouds visible.

A small stream tumbles over rocks through a lush green forest, surrounded by tall trees and thick ferns. A moss-covered log lies across the bottom of the frame. The scene is vibrant, wild and serene.

A close-up, vertical shot of a massive, grey rock formation that resembles the head and beak of an eagle. The rock is textured with deep fissures and small patches of scrubby vegetation. In the blurred background, other mountains and a hazy sky are visible.

A low-angle shot from under a stone bridge shows a small, tranquil river flowing. A fallen log lies partially submerged in the foreground, with its trunk extending towards the right. Sunlight filters through the dense canopy of green trees that arch over the river. The stone walls of the bridge's archway frame the lush, verdant scene.

Was able to make it to the coast one evening and barely found the legendary shipwreck (according to the lore, who knows what it actually is from) that I've previously posted covered in moss and seaweed now getting buried in sand! It'll be made free of the sand again and it is always so interesting seeing how it changes!

Post hike sunset. #colorado #getOutdoors #nature

A brown grassy field with green trees, a reflecting lake, and hazy purplish mountains. The sky is a pale orange on the horizon, brighter where the sun has just set. A few low clouds enhance the view.

Kayaking this afternoon. So lucky to spend a good amount of time observing 2 Bald Eagles and then, upon returning, to see 2 different pairs of Loons. #Maine #wildlife #getoutdoors #kayak #eagles #loons #NotABirder

Relaxing day by the creek.

My friend's son thought the bee in the pool was dead and later asked me to help him get some floating things out. While doing so, I noticed the bee moving, and was able to save this poor baby from a tragic evening. What a sweetheart it was just resting on my hand and letting me help it. I hope it got some rest and is able to enjoy a new day today!
