I’ve fallen out of love with my photo sharing app. The only social network that I ever felt actually invested in has lost the lovely community feeling of the early days, replaced by an opaque algorithm that funnels you in directions you may not wish to go.
But there’s something inspiring about sharing favourite photos, turning a sometimes solitary activity into a quiet act of community; photos as small reminders of the beauty close to hand, if we only stop and look.
So here are my photographic highlights of the late winter. It’s been a mixed-up month: mist descending for the early starts but plenty of bright blue days. The Siberian winds have blown in, but we’re waiting for more than just the lightest of sprinklings of snow.
On Freshwater Down, amazed to find a path we haven’t pounded before. Anything to avoid the golf balls…
It’s always exciting to see the return of these alpine blooms, presaging the bounty of flowers to come in the months ahead. I think snowdrops are our reward for surviving the winter.
Marshmallow clouds pop against the bright blue of a late winter’s day, little clouds on the ground below. Not the common and garden variety sheep these, either.
Top field at Parkhurst Forest, making sure the dog is well run out at the end of the a busy weekday. Delighted that the light has stretched to the point that we can do this after work!
Rolo an unwilling subject down at Newtown Creek, not convinced that a photo is worth stopping for.
End of the month run way out west, waiting waiting waiting for some snow…
