Perigee, Supermoon, come close, come near; so much bigger and brighter, radiant and clear; illuminate my path, free of doubt and fear; only gratitude and thanks, for another great year. #fullmoon #supermoon #beavermoon #moon spiralleaf.co.uk/full-beaver…

Late apple feast for bugs and beetles; for hungry birds and other creatures; never wasted, never not appreciated; something for everyone, most eagerly awaited. #fallen #apple #fruit #nature #autumn #wonter #beauty #love #life #beauty #joy

Autumn leaves falling at the river's edge; a broad leaf mosaic in yellow, orange and red; a shining quilt of colour, floating gently to the sea; a moment for refection, a moment just to be. #river #boat #leaves #nature #autumn #winter #beauty #love #life

Hedgehogs are fond of wood and leaf piles to rest in; some are made intentionally for this purpose in woods, parks, gardens; please remember to check your bonfire stacks for wildlife this firework season before lighting them. #welcome #november #almanac spiralleaf.co.uk/welcome-nov…

Beautiful birds in motion ... to see such exquisite portraits of our feathered friends in such detail every day is a delight, Carl, it puts me in a lovely frame of mind for the day; thank you for bringing the beauty of Nature so close to home. 🙏📸💛 #photography
I've been sharing my bird photos here for a decade and posting them on the wider internet for almost 20 years.. what I'd love to know is if I've directly inspired any of you to appreciate birds more? Maybe you bought a camera or started feeding the birds? Please let me know!🐦

Leaves scattered on a grassy bank; fallen, one by one, in gently spinning circles to the ground; to settle in a colourful array of yellows, reds and browns; Nature's fanfare, in patterns, pictures and the softest of soothing sounds. #leaves #autumn #colour #nature #seasons #life

Life of a Chalkstream ... a stretch of river restored to its original natural glory in a short space of time by Simon and his team; rich in detail about the restoration, chalkstreams, water meadows, fish, fishing, cattle and wildlife. by Simon Cooper #book spiralleaf.co.uk/life-of-a-c…

A colour palette of leaves, from green; to yellow, orange and russet brown; a pleasing harmony of tones, Nature's own; leaning gracefully into the Winter months of cold. #leaves #autumn #winter #season #nature #beauty #colour #live #life #love #joy

A Healing Spice ... Mace pairs well with berries, stone fruits and sweetened potato or pumpkin pie (see my recipe); add a teaspoon of freshly-ground Mace to a crumble or crisp topping and dust with Cinnamon; perfect for Halloween! 🎃 #spice #directory spiralleaf.co.uk/spices/mace

Autumn Treasures ... capture the beauty, bounty and abundance of Nature during the turn of the season as the air starts to cool; colours gleaming after the fallen rain; nights drawing in as the the sun shines lower in the sky. #autumn #nature #beauty #joy spiralleaf.co.uk/autumn

Rose of art, petals, silken swathes of silk; opening, unfolding, crevices deep; perfect symmetry, delicious lemony scent; the promise of more, wrapped up tightly in the remaining bud. #rose #petals #flowers #beauty #symmetry #nature #art #live #life #love #joy

A tree stricken by a lightening storm; life continues where new branches have grown; wrapped in a cloak of ivy all around; an everlasting home for wildlife, standing proud. #tree #nature #beauty #love #life

A forest path is a gateway to Nature where an exhibition of life's vital energy unfolds; it's an experience that can be felt and appreciated through the seasons where Mother Nature brings infinite variety and no walk is ever the same. #forest #walk #nature spiralleaf.co.uk/forest-sanc…

A beautiful day to amble, exploring in the woods; deep shadows on the earthy floor, as the Sun shines high above; suddely the path arrived, at the edge of a field; like a theatre curtain opening, and you see beyond the veil. #woodland #fields #nature #sunlight #beauty #live #life

Lovely Lady ... my last precious rosebud of the year; blossoming bravely in the chilly air; bringing beauty to remember and hold so dear; what a star, it almost makes me want to shed a tear. #lovelylady #rose #flower #rain #petals #beauty #love #joy

Nutmeg ... warm milk flavoured with honey and dusted with Nutmeg is a pleasant way to warm up the body and relax before settling down to some meditative, creative, reading or journeying work. #nutmeg #healing #spice #directory #health #love #joy spiralleaf.co.uk/a-healing-s…

Paprika ... a treasured spice that adds pop and flavour to many a savoury dish; fresh or dried, colourful, flavourful, nutritious, healing as an Essential Oil to improve circulation and help with the removal of toxins. #paprika #healing #spice #directory spiralleaf.co.uk/a-healing-s…

Could Nature be more striking, more look at me and see; her delicious fruits now ripened on plant and branch and tree; these stunning fruits of Snowberry, hailed throughout the land; popped like Billy Busters, used as lotion for the hands. #snowberry #fruits #season #nature #love
