I'm currently camping in my tiny campervan around the Wye Valley and the forest of Dean (UK). Here's a picture (made today) for #footpathfriday #WyeValley #forestofdean

You would not believe how difficult these photos were – the Swan was feeding and constantly dipping into the water. Moving target...! 😆

I've been terribly late with posting bugs - so here are some bugs, from the #ForestOfDean, #Gloucestershire. Some stripy-kneed cricket nymphs (Leptophyes punctatissima?) and some miscellaneous beetles...

For #thickTrunkTuesday - a rather hefty specimen somewhere near the #ForestOfDean, #Gloucestershire. (Is it pushing the wall over, or holding it up? Both, probably...)

Went to the Forest of Dean yesterday to visit family, introduce friends to my old stomping ground and most importantly walk in the woods. I feel such peace surrounded by trees. I miss it
