It started with an 'almost photo' of a dew-covered red campion & 90 minutes later the dew was all but gone
It got me thinking about why we shouldn't wait for perfect conditions to enjoy nature
My new blog is all about that. Just do it!

Today's 'almost photo' comes with a follow-up
2 of the same red campion, 90 minutes apart
1st one covered in dew, 2nd almost all dew gone
Some of nature's moments don't hang around for long, a good reason to appreciate them while we can #inspiringnature #wildlife #naturephotography
Day 1564 of #IansDailyPhotoChallenge and #NoWordsNeeded really today 😮🤗🍄 #inspiringnature #wildlife #naturephotography #MentalHealthMatters

Nowhere a good photo really, but managed to get an Aurora borealis photo just now
Certainly made my evening 🤗 #inspiringnature #wildlife #naturephotography #MentalHealthMatters
#365DaysWild
Obviously couldn't get through #InternationalFungiDay without adding to it with an 'almost photo' could I?
OR did we actually see this wooden rosette as we walked past a fairy woodcarving workshop today? 🧚♂️🧚♀️🍄🪵🪓🪚🤗 #inspiringnature #wildlife #naturephotography #MentalHealthMatters

Day 1563 of #IansDailyPhotoChallenge and we were hunting fungi on #InternationalFungiDay but this amazing beetle decided to steal the show instead #inspiringnature #wildlife #naturephotography #MentalHealthMatters

My almost photo, that is a video today
Sitting with Rolo enjoying our drink, while drinking it all in, all of a sudden this lovely robin started serenading us
Expect nothing and get rewards, just head out and explore #inspiringnature #wildlife #naturephotography #MentalHealthMatters

Day 1562 of #IansDailyPhotoChallenge and for us a lovely toadstool, emerging through a wet carpet of brown leaves in a woodland is absolute heaven
Are you a lover of autumn too? 🍄🍂🌳🤗 #inspiringnature #wildlife #naturephotography #MentalHealthMatters
#365DaysWild
Another strong contender for today, but this was an 'almost photo' in the end
It was an obvious choice, but I thought everyone would see this and think "lovely" but how many would really have seen my dew covered leaf #inspiringnature #wildlife #naturephotography #MentalHealthMatters
#365DaysWild
Day 1561 of #IansDailyPhotoChallenge and we love autumn for many reasons
One of those is the dew and when it settles on lambs ear leaves it looks lovely, seeing the beauty in the ordinary 🤗 #inspiringnature #wildlife #naturephotography #MentalHealthMatters
#365DaysWild
Today's 'almost chosen photo comes with its very own 'public viewing warning'
But please don't be so harsh on wasps, they do a great job, be kind if you can 🤗🐝 #inspiringnature #wildlife #naturephotography #MentalHealthMatters

Day 1560 of #IansDailyPhotoChallenge and unintentionally this has turned in to a "how unseasonal is this weather now" week
Today we have some hazel catkins on our home dog walk, bonkers! #inspiringnature #wildlife #naturephotography #MentalHealthMatters
#365DaysWild
This one was a 'very nearly, but wouldn't work in a book really' almost choice for today
These were our 1st honking geese of the year, heading South again for winter
One of those lovely sounds as they fly over ❤️🪿🪿#inspiringnature #wildlife #naturephotography #MentalHealthMatters

Day 1559 of #IansDailyPhotoChallenge and another sign of how bonkers warm the weather is
This is one of the pear trees that was blossoming away in a customers garden today 😮🍐🌸 #inspiringnature #wildlife #naturephotography #MentalHealthMatters
#365DaysWild
I promise you I didn't delve back in to my photos archive!
This one WAS from today for a #wisteriawatch
Unbelievable foraging bumble bee feeding on wisteria 😮

Day 1558 of #IansDailyPhotoChallenge and how about this for a late season splash of red then?
Lovely roses at one of my favourite places to work at Petwood Hotel for today
Please add it to your "I must go to" list ❤️🌹🌹🌹 #inspiringnature #wildlife #naturephotography #MentalHealthMatters

Day 1557 of #IansDailyPhotoChallenge and as we are now in to autumn, seems fair to start showing spiders and their webs
Just a small spider this one, might be ok for you arachnophobes to look at it 🍂🕷🕸🤗 #inspiringnature #wildlife #naturephotography #MentalHealthMatters
#365DaysWild
This was the almost photo for today
Welcome to Jurassic, well Clumber Park NT
Life will find a way 🦕🦖 #inspiringnature #wildlife #naturephotography #MentalHealthMatters

Day 1556 of #IansDailyPhotoChallenge & spotted this lovely parasol, then a guy came to pick it right in front of us
There are so many foragers collecting everything, there are hardly any fungi to be seen any more 🍄✋️🛑 #inspiringnature #wildlife #naturephotography #MentalHealthMatters
#365DaysWild
Day 1555 of #IansDailyPhotoChallenge not every day is about posting amazing photos of wildlife
Some like this one, just show the simple things you could possibly do, showing hedgehog friendly fencing gravel boards 🤗🦔 #inspiringnature #wildlife #naturephotography #MentalHealthMatters
