During today's walk across the moor at the back of our house I dropped my sketchbook. Brown peaty soil had marked it, so I used my fingers to make a background on my page. Added some vegetation with a pen. Chance things that happen can be interesting! #sketchbook #earthpigment #peatbog #peatlands #accidentalart #dailysketchbook

3 sketchbook pages painted and stitched. #dailysketchbook #freemachinestitch #scotland #grasses #peatbog

Oh too many midges to stand and sketch this evening…so not happy with this! #scottishmidge #scotland #dailysketch #peatbog

Yesterday was a day of exploring new places. I can't wait till spring to see this view in it's full glory.

Walked with my sister and her kids up the College Valley in #Northumberland the other day. It was windy, with patchy sun and cloud, and the odd short shower blown in. My sister, who works in peat bog management, was impressed with the apparent bog restoration in places. Tree planting going on (with flourishing woods planted 30-odd years ago), free-ranging native cattle doing their thing, and sphagnum moss and bilberry growing thick.

The side of a hilly valley, a mixture of grass, heather, plantation forest and mixed woodland. Dappled sunlight is on the further hills, under a mainly cloudy sky. In the foreground, but still quite distant, is a small shed with a corrugated iron roof.

Looking down a valley sprinkled with patches of woodland, some pine plantation forest, other areas of young mixed trees. A few white painted houses dot the valley floor. At the foot of the valley, rolling yellow and green hills are in sunshine.

A rough footpath up a valley, between gently sloping, grass and heather covered hills. A woman and two children are walking up the footpath, with another, older child behind them, in the far distance.

A child with long, blonde hair stands on a sunlit hillside, looking back, with a chocolate labrador dog standing behind her. In the distance are more hills, covered with small, rocky outcrops.

As far as the eye can see.

Flat landscape stretching to the horizon. It is a moorland landscape with an area of water in the foreground. It is surrounded by brownish and green grasses. Almost cloudless sky.

Flat landscape stretching to the horizon. Some tall grasses in the foreground.

A pond embedded in a moorland landscape. Birch trees stand on the shore, otherwise lots of grasses.

Directly in front of me is a log paved path that goes as far as I can see. Green-yellow grass and a few trees to the left and right. The sky is cloudless. I'm all alone there.

The Greenock and Kelly Cuts are isoline hugging acquaducts dug in the Clyde Murshiel hills, that enabled access to clean drinking water for cholera strikken towns, and enabled low cost energy for people starting their own mills. The visitor centre is an underappreciated gem, as are the silent remains of the engineering and hard but smart work that went into the construction and maintenance. https://clydemuirshiel.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/GC-walk.pdf The area's peat bogs are being restored now to serve as effective zero energy carbon sinks. The park is close to Glasgow, yet offers strikingly diverse nature and sights #clydemurshiel #nature #rewilding #hydroengineering #hiking #peatbog The engineering is quite superb, with a reversible sand filter dating from the 1800s https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Thom_(engineer)

This gives perhaps a better idea of a lot of the terrain. Lots of peat bogs and groughs. But great to see the spring alpine flowers in abundance. Creeping azalea and Cloudberry.

World Wetlands Day provides us with an opportunity to celebrate the vital connection between wetlands and human well-being. From mighty inlets, and mud-flats, to flood-plains, peat bogs, etc, wetlands are extraordinary ecosystems...
