One photo a day, every day - Photos by Pierre Acobas

One photo a day, every day, taken between 0h00 and midnight. I started on September 17th 2013, stopped on September 16th 2014 because it was originally supposed to be a 365 project and then resumed this challenge on January 1st 2015.

We got wonderful sunshine for the
Kent Field Club #NewYearPlantHunt
at Milton Creek Country Park and surrounds. Some cheery little flowers, a queen bumblebee (not photographed), a few dung flies using Apiaceae, some birds enjoying the estuary, some fun fungi.

I was lucky enough to do a spot of admiring #UrbanBotany at Canary Wharf today, before going on to the Geologists' Association annual #FestivalOfGeology. It was an amazing day, with @jurassicgirl and a certain Rock Showman - Steven Cousins - being the highlights of the Festival for me.
