  1. #NoticingNature Concluding thoughts

    I didn't feel the exercise enhanced my happiness, but more of a chore to photograph something every day. I already notice and reflect on small things, and take joy in the common. Perhaps I could always do it more, and make more conscious effort to get out and about in my local green space each day.

    To sign off this #WorldMentalHealthDay, here are two more photos from Day 12.

  4. CW: Noticing Nature Day 14 A peek into my nearly ready compost... worms...

    Noticing Nature Day 14

    A peek into my nearly ready compost exposed these extraordinary red tiger worms (picture hidden, as I know people with a worm phobia). Together with a colony of huge pale-green slugs, they've chomped through pounds and pounds of grass, peel, eggshells, receipts, etc etc etc.

  7. Noticing Nature Day 13

    Lying in the hammock (in October!), listening to the starlings whooping and chuckling, and gazing vacantly up at the rose growing over the pergola. Feeling content and happy in the moment, despite cause for concern. It seems it is a good year for hips and haws.

  10. Noticing Nature Day 12

    Great walk today in the autumn sun circumambulating Burrator Reservoir. Love the combinations of blues, greens, browns, greys. So not quite all nature. There's plenty of human intervention too. But I feel incredibly grateful to live in such a beautiful part of the world.

  14. Noticing Nature Day 11

    I love the 'daisies' under my front doorstep, greeting me cheerily when I venture out into the world and welcoming me when I return home. And because I have to step over it, I can't not look at it and appreciate it.

  17. Also for #NationalPoetryDay, Aly the Riddler-in-Residence was in Exeter Cathedral, so I popped in to meet her and write a couple of #haiku

    Another record...
    Sunning ourselves on the Green
    While the planet burns

    From a bug's eye view
    The grass is riddled with weeds
    (If you call them that)

  20. Noticing Nature Day 10

    Beautiful borlotti, runner and french beans; sugar snap peas; and I think some nasturtium seeds in amongst. Looking forward to eating these, or sowing them next year. Nature is bountiful.

  23. Noticing Nature Day 9

    It is the season to notice nature inside the house: the creepy crawlies that make their way in as it cools outside; the fly currently buzzing around the room, which will be dead on the floor in the morning; and the guest(s) scrabbling above my head in the evenings. Today these humane mouse traps arrived in the post... to remove them before they chew through something important!

    The oxygenating starwort in my mini-pond is thriving, perhaps too much! Hopefully I'll be able to share some in my local community or in the Exeter Seed Swap.

  29. Noticing Nature Day 7

    A morning of mist and mizzle, and pearly droplets resting on grass and weeds. My eye delights in the collected light on this dandelion leaf, orbiting the twin daisy suns.

  32. Noticing Nature Day 6

    The leaves are starting to turn, and this maple [correction: sweet gum] is showing off. It's by the side of the road in a business park, and provides some much-needed variegated beauty.

  36. Noticing Nature Day 5

    It was impossible not to notice nature on a 9-mile walk on The Archangel Way and Dartmoor today. So I chose to photograph a tormentil. For me, although it grows in plenty of other places, this tiny flower is emblematic of Dartmoor.

  39. Noticing Nature Day 3

    Near me is a lane that was once a rat-run, but was closed to through traffic in lockdown and has become a lovely route for running, walking and cycling. Today I noticed this ivy at the side, dark green shading to lighter new growth encroaching on the tarmac. Some day it will need clearing. But for the moment I am celebrating a small reclamation of life from the dominion of the car.

  42. Noticing Nature Day 2

    This small dove or pigeon feather just landed on my patio. It captivated me with its whiteness and near symmetry, transparency and fragility. So light, blown hither and yon by the wind. And contrasting with the textured concrete, solid long-term host for slow-growing lichen.

  46. Noticing Nature Day 1

    I bought these gladioli yesterday. This morning I noticed that one flower had bloomed fresh and new amid the tight red buds, and in the sudden opening out I was surprised by joy.
