Spring Is Springing!

Posted on April 6, 2016June 16, 2016 by Rebecca GibsonIn Adventure, Nature, Photography, Spring, Wildlife1 Minute Read

I got to enjoy a walk in the woods today, and after a break over Easter I was thrilled to see signs of spring beginning to emerge. The forest is regaining its colours!

The splendour of the house was marred by disarray. Foliage clung to the walls and crept around the windows like twisted green eyelashes. Weeds stretched through cracks in the gravel driveway. Hedges that had once been pruned now grew fuzzy with leaves. Paint was peeling. Atop the tallest spire was a weathervane moulded into the likeness of a wolf, currently howling to the east. 🍃 . . . . . #fiction #fantasy #house #manor #nature #art #sketching #unipin #monochrome #discovertheworld #explore #ourplanet #creativewriting #createeveryday #wildlife_inspired #natureseekers #getoutdoors #darkness

Streetlights cast the spell of a thousand silver fish on the surface of the water. I dragged the dog away from an enticing smell so we could wander along the harbour, which at this time was submerged in darkness. The small fleet of fishing boats made soft, slopping noises as half-hearted waves stirred their hulls. A familiar pong of seaweed filled my nostrils, along with the shock of cold night air that nipped at my face. . . . . . #nature #art #sketching #unipin #monochrome #discovertheworld #explore #ourplanet #wildlife_inspired #natureseekers #getoutdoors #night #darkness #moon #stars #nightscape #burghead #harbour #scotland #moray

Absolutely in love with art at the moment and decided to try something a little different to my usual style. This piece is inspired by the fab series “His Dark Materials” and the lovely @tiffany.francis whose book Dark Skies is full of gorgeous nightscapes. I had a few mishaps with this but I loved trying a new technique! 🎨 . . . . . . #nature #photooftheday #beautifuldestinations #UK #night #darkskies #art #blackandwhite #monochrome #unipin #fineliner #drawing #sketch #exploretocreate #goneoutdoors #instagood #naturelovers #ourplanetdaily #artofvisuals #justgoshoot #earthpics #roamtheplanet #wildlife

Bit nervous posting this as I rarely share my artwork, but recently I’ve really enjoyed drawing and painting as an accompaniment to my writing. I’ve found it very helpful in observing greater detail. My drawing style is scruffy and far from accurate, but I love getting a feel for a place using a fine liner pen 🎨 . . . . . . #nature #photooftheday #beautifuldestinations #landscapeart #scotland #burghead #moray #beach #coast #art #sketching #drawing #fineliner #UK #exploretocreate #goneoutdoors #instagood #naturelovers #ourplanetdaily #ig_shotz #artofvisuals #justgoshoot #earthpics #roamtheplanet #uk_shooters #wildlife

Not exactly an award-winning shot, but it’s the first kingfisher photo I’ve taken that’s more than a zoomy blue blur and I love it 😍 . . . . . . #nature #photooftheday #beautifuldestinations #UK #hertfordshire #river #stockerslake #wildlifetrust #kingfisher #bird #autumn #exploretocreate #goneoutdoors #instagood #naturelovers #ourplanetdaily #ig_shotz #artofvisuals #justgoshoot #earthpics #roamtheplanet #uk_shooters #wildlife

One of my favourite animals: the pine marten. This little one lives at the @britishwildlifecentre in Surrey, which is a fantastic place full of natural habitats that teaches both children and adults about our native wildlife 🌿 . . . . . . #nature #photooftheday #beautifuldestinations #UK #surrey #britishwildlifecentre #pinemarten #mustelid #mammal #exploretocreate #goneoutdoors #instagood #naturelovers #ourplanetdaily #ig_shotz #artofvisuals #justgoshoot #earthpics #roamtheplanet #uk_shooters #wildlife

One of my favourites: the Amethyst Deceiver. Not only does it sound like a Bond villain, but it’s also gorgeous. I love finding these! 🍄 . . . . . . #nature #photooftheday #fungi #mushroom #autumn #forest #woodland #beautifuldestinations #UK #exploretocreate #amethystdeceiver #hertfordshire #macro #goneoutdoors #instagood #naturelovers #ourplanetdaily #ig_shotz #artofvisuals #justgoshoot #earthpics #roamtheplanet #uk_shooters #wildlife

The gills of a mushroom, called lamellae, are important for identifying its species. They produce spores which are carried away in their millions by the wind 🍄 . . . . . . #nature #photooftheday #fungi #wildmushroom #autumn #gills #lamellae #macro #photography #beautifuldestinations #UK #northumberland #exploretocreate #goneoutdoors #instagood #naturelovers #ourplanetdaily #ig_shotz #artofvisuals #justgoshoot #earthpics #roamtheplanet #uk_shooters #wildlife

Slow traffic 🐛 It’s been a while since I’ve taken my camera out with me and I decided it was definitely time to explore some autumnal wildlife. While trying to find some good fungi, I stumbled across this jazzy hairball as it scooted across a wooden fence. If anyone knows the species I’d love to find out! . . . . . . #nature #photooftheday #northumberland #caterpillars #insects #macro #photography #beautifuldestinations #UK #exploretocreate #goneoutdoors #instagood #naturelovers #ourplanetdaily #ig_shotz #artofvisuals #justgoshoot #earthpics #roamtheplanet #uk_shooters #wildlife

Had such a lovely afternoon learning about hedgehogs at the @hedgehogsanctuary and was very pleased to be able to meet Rock! 🦔 . . . . . . #nature #photooftheday #hedgehog #sanctuary #mammal #beautifuldestinations #UK #exploretocreate #goneoutdoors #instagood #naturelovers #ourplanetdaily #ig_shotz #artofvisuals #justgoshoot #earthpics #roamtheplanet #uk_shooters #wildlife

Sometimes it’s challenging to commit to #365dayswild, especially when I’m at work and can’t be outside. However, even little things like learning a new wild word work just fine 🦋 . . . . . . #nature #photooftheday #insects #dragonfly #damselfly #pterostigma #anatomy #biology #art #drawing #sketching #UK #exploretocreate #goneoutdoors #instagood #naturelovers #scrapbooking #journalling #ourplanetdaily #ig_shotz #artofvisuals #justgoshoot #earthpics #roamtheplanet #wildlife
