#TheTree Day 12:

“Never say there is nothing beautiful in the world anymore. There is always something to make you wonder in the shape of a tree, the trembling of a leaf.”

— Albert Schweitzer

I'm taking a picture of the same Horse Chestnut at roughly the same time a few times each week to capture it as the seasons change and to provide a bit of #Continuity in our changing world. A bit of an escape from these turbulent times we live in. #trees have and will live through them.

Another one from my special place earlier in the year. Full of drama.

Born, raised and live in #Leicestershire but my heart will always be in #Cornwall, especially West Penwith.

This is probably my favourite place on #Earth. Taken earlier in the year from atop Rosewall Hill, St Ives on the West Penwith Moors.

Not the highest and certainly not the most well known (Exmoor, Dartmoor, Bodmin Moor et al) but West Penwith has a unique character, mystery and magic all of its own.

Oh to be there now...

Here's a photo from Jacobs Ladder, Peak District, taken about a decade ago.

I'm heading back tomorrow, this time to the Hope Valley to climb Win Hill.

Part of my effort to climb as many hills and mountains as possible, travelling only by public transport. Cost of living crisis has killed me a bit, but this year I've done the Malverns, the Long Mynd and the West Penwith Moors. Train strikes foiled me for the Dales too.

How about an #Introduction - I'm Gavin, 35, From Leicester, UK.

I am a writer, naturalist, conservationist and environmental campaigner. I used to write a blog www.gjgamble.wordpress.com then magazines and now a book.

I love all things #Environment and #Nature, I do lots of walking, hiking, biological recording. I campaign for environmental justice non-stop. Trying hard to help save our planet! Invertebrates are the best, especially ants! (and corvids. Bloody love Crows).

That's me!
