    Article: June Nature Challenge

    I was hoping for now a few more posts on what everyone was getting up to this month. For myself I found myself in Cardiff today with work. In the evening I took myself off to Cap'n Badgers world of Bute Park and what a place it turned out to be. The first thing I found when I entered the...

    It has been a busy day today with all the chores of most Sundays so the wildest we got today was the back garden to do the 30 day challenge. A couple of years ago the kids each helped me build their father and son bows. These quick bows are made from Hazel and shoot just as well as the day...

    This thirty day challenge is proving a bit of a challenge all right. Not for the activities but for just sorting the pictures. The kids are having a ball though. Tonight I needed to finish building a Gibbet crane and I needed a fire to test the crane out. So instead of cracking on with it...

    No snow here StJon. I really like the second picture with the trees. Love the contrasts between the snow and the grass that is still visible. A couple from my family walk today. This little fella was not shy in the slightest And my first Primrose flower this year

    Nice one. I was looking for this today but they are not appearing yet my way. This is a great bit of macro Harvestman. I have some lens extensions and a tripod so I will be trying to capture this (it will need to be a calm day) in the next couple of weeks. Spotted this on Hazel today.
