Ever wondered why the sheep in the fields look so colourful at this time of year? It’s probably because they’ve just been scanned to see how many lambs they’re carrying 🐑 #sheep #lambing #spring northwestnatureandhistory.co.uk/2023/11/29/s...

I call myself a Christian yet, like many, know little about my faith. So I’ve recently been attending mass and bible classes to learn more. I also call myself a Scientist so question everything. I now have more questions than answers. #questions #christianity #music youtu.be/th5A-bQbWQQ

From my archive,here is a group of Lady's Slippers at a reintroduction site in Yorkshire, May 2021. One of the few successful sites, following the removal of many plants from others, after the discovery they were not of British origin! The flowers are a wonderful piece of natural engineering. 😍

Everyone here is obsessed with Trump and Elon, it’s all you seem to talk about! I came here to avoid them. So I’m being liberal with the mute button from now on.
