Fringed Water-lily on a heathland pond. I went for arty - not quite sure I pulled it off!

First day of canal closure. Heat plays across the water. The air feels close and heavy. A cat slants asleep across a cabin roof. A young lad with faraway eyes says 'There's a big pike here.'
Then he says he could be wrong.
I tell him I saw it last evening. He looks relieved.

Like everywhere,
At the moment,
The talk all along
The canal is the rain.
The eager chatter of drips.
Gentle whispering
Sighs among alder.
Reed and iris'
High-pitched plinks,
The oaks deep exhale.
The slow celebration
Of slug and snail.

Well, I’ve now become that person who takes photos of moths in public toilets! Is this normal??
Today’s public convenience finds included (I think) Small China-mark, Dark-bordered Pearl and Common Wave.
I was @nationaltrust.org.uk’s The Vyne in Hampshire.

I got a few strange looks when I exclaimed “Look at that Old Lady in a spiderweb” earlier!
It’s the first time I’ve encountered this moth. It’s a shame it had had its insides sucked out by an arachnid and been tangled in web for quite a while.

Good morning from Marbury. My sunrise sky today. Even before light there was a Skylark singing, and as the sun came up there were Lapwings, Yellowhammers, Ravens, Thrushes, Blackbirds, Dunnocks, Crows, Wrens… Lots to listen out for even before daylight! #DailyNature #Cheshire #UKBirds #sky #sunrise

Fog rolls down
From Horse Hill
Where it casts
Both horse and kite
Into wreathed phantoms.
It shrinks
The boundaries
Of my horizons.
Today,
I'll take that
It will suit me fine.

I spotted this amazing Lime Hawk-moth on the floor outside my local pub - perhaps it had one too many lager and limes! 🍺 🍋🟩
It’s the first time I’ve seen the adult moth. What a stunner!

Canal-side plants
Angelica (Wild)
The thrum and beat
Of cyclists and joggers.
Airliners razor between clouds.
But the canal
Sleeps easy and content.
In its reflection, I can read
Its dreams. And there
Is Angelica by the wall.

Canal-side plants
Blackthorn
Its bloom
Friend of the whipping wind
And grey wintery rain
Its fruit
Friend of the soft September sun
And Autumn's haze
Guaranteed to cheer the heart
Whether on cold sleepy hedgerow
Or drunk from a fireside glass.

There’s been a Hummingbird Hawk-moth whizzing around my garden on and off for a couple of weeks. This is the first time I’ve managed to get a camera anywhere near it!
I assume it’s the same moth, as it gave me a knowing nod before speeding off over the fence.

The Hobby
Rufous-legged,
Scythe-winged,
Sharp beak,
Sharper gaze,
My heart beats faster
At the sight of you
Passing overhead.

My 3-year old daughter wasn’t sleepy, so she asked to go on a Nightjar walk. I was so excited that she wanted to share my favourite nature spectacle.
It was wonderful being out on the heath together. She even pointed out the first Nightjar whilst I was distracted by an aeroplane! ✈️🤦♂️

Colours of an August dawn
Cool, cloudless, pale blue sky;
Outstretched red-feathered wing;
Busy songbirds in a Lilac bush;
White misty breath in front of my eyes.

Rows of plastic pumpkins
cinnamon scents I will to ignore,
Can we not have now
before tomorrow?
Outside leaves drift,
crisp, red as rust,
birds quiet,
swifts flown.
I walk waters edge
stilled stagnant
board my once nomadic boat, drought- paused.
Is it Autumn or August?
I forget

edged blue skies, white towering clouds hug horizon. morning light on browns greens, cumbrian fellside crags. song birds playing in the sky, air music outside, heard inside.

Thank you. It took a few attempts. It was quite weathery for close-ups! 🌧️ 💨
This is what I love about #DailyNature - it motivates me to go out looking for different things on a walk and be a bit more creative. I wanted to highlight the arrival of rain without just showing a photo of it raining!

Climbing along the terracotta wall, soft green frog prints of vines - prove there's still moisture in this arid summer.
Willows and ash softly sither secrets on the other side. Their leaves like hanging shoals of slick viridian anchovies, flickering, enchanting robins and butterflies.

Pale blue pre-dawn skies,
A bite in the morning air,
Leaves fall,
Blackberries ripen,
Horse Chestnuts form,
Autumn arrives.

Bare feet on wet concrete,
I tiptoe in and out of space -
let rain meet me in embrace,
stand under hooded pillars -
seek the sky for a birthing point
What does breaking rain look like?
Freeing itself from its chrysalise cloud...
Verbless percussion
damp toes
Wonderful secrets
