Blessed are you, creator God, to you be praise and glory for ever. As your Spirit moved over the face of the waters bringing light and life to your creation... pour out your Spirit on us today that we may walk as children of light and by your grace reveal your presence. #PrayerInPublicSpaces

Systemic protections and guardrails are essential to a functioning society. Nature understands this even if oligarchs don't.

Looking at tad dry up Wessenden Valley yesterday, the low levels revealing some interesting structures usually submerged: Wessenden Reservoir very low, but Blakeley Reservoir full and spilling into Butterley - which I haven't seen as low before.

When the military roll into town. 5th June 1989. I never thought I'd read of similar events in America. Lack of imagination on my part I guess. archive.ph/P92tt

If you ride a bicycle I'd love to see a photo of it out and about. Add yours to the thread if you like. This is me climbing a hill in Arran with a very numb bum after 70 miles on a new saddle.

Cat sitting in flowers is my most drawn thing hehe #art #illustration

Poncho competition! Win a poncho! Ponchos FTW! ☺️

The equality commissioner calls for a minority group to accept less equality: bias and judgemental inequality at the heart of this commission.

Happy #pride month! We believe that chemistry is for everyone. In the face of opposition that threatens the progress we've made, it's never been more important for us to promote equality of opportunities and make chemistry as open, inclusive and diverse as it should be: buff.ly/1dShs0l #ChemSky

🌍 On #WorldEnvironmentDay, we’re spotlighting the forgotten polymers: PLFs. Found in shampoos, paints & detergents, 36m tonnes are made yearly - almost none reused. It’s time to act. 🔗https://buff.ly/1pPOAhW #SustainablePLFs2040 #BeatPlasticPollution #ChemSky

Dystopian goth dance: I loved every dark blasted beat. That was the most overwhelmingly intense political/musical evening. So many classics too. 🥰 #MassiveAttack

I've been treated to a night out... in Manchester. A suprise. Been driven over here by my daughter's fiancé. We've parked at the National Cycling Centre... Very excited.

Wedding photographers: God bless you. It's always a joy to work alongside you to celebrate a marriage. I've had some wonderful conversations with you over the years, and all of you have been awesome. With love, Graeme 💒🎉🙏🥳🥰

Cycle parking at Cambridge Station. Not many places outside the Netherlands that I've seen this scale of bike parking. 19% of journeys in Cambridge are by bike, despite the infrastructure being far from perfect.

A fleeting moment. #photography

No longer able to bear the weight of cars, the Hammersmith Bridge now provides a peaceful crossing of the Thames for pedestrians and cyclists.

mosquitoes are actually just tiny vampires, only without the glittering chest and fangs.

View from my Study window: I love the way the low sun illuminates the beautiful stone buildings of West Yorkshire... I lift my eyes to the hills, where will my help come from, my help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth... #ItsGrimUpNorth
