It’s a Sunday, so I thought I’d post a passage containing the words ‘Detached genitals’, ‘Uranus’ and ‘sizzling’.

Hello to all. My first white #Peonies of the year! Did you know the white peony was used in the Victorian Language of Flowers to express bashfulness, remorse & forgiveness.
In ancient mythology they symbolized quiet, unassuming beauty & loveliness. #PeoniesThatPardon #MyGarden

A greenish granitic orb - Most likely a glacial deposit, dropped here at the end of the ice age over 15,000 years ago. Then worn down and polished by the action of Atlantic waves in more recent years.

'Hail to thee, blithe Spirit!..
from thy presence showers a rain of melody'
Shelley's 'To a Skylark' hymns the 'clear keen joyance' of a skylark's song.
It's raining down all around me on these moors and Shelley puts it so well - it's pure delight! 🪶🤍🪶

Did you know that the collective noun for ducks on the ground is a Waddling?! Sometimes the English language just gets it right. This was one of those moments when I felt like I'd stepped from the Peak District lane and right into the pages of a Beatrix Potter book, watching this lovely waddling of ducks enjoying the sunshine and flowers.

This image is featured in my hardback book of photographs and words, 'A Quiet Light'. It's 152 pages of Peak District beauty, arranged seasonally, printed on the highest quality paper, perfect to dip into whenever you need a little countryside calm. Priced at £24.95 + UK P&P.

Did you watch Dirty Business? I can't believe how much water companies have gotten away with. They're putting profit before public health - it’s a scandal and the Government MUST take action! https://t.co/T4JCRHxBuz via @38degrees

Meadowsweet, Filipendula ulmaria, was once used to flavour mead, the ancient honey wine. Mead infused with herbs was called “metheglin”, from Welsh words meaning “healing drink”; a fitting name for a beverage flavoured with a plant long valued as a healing herb. #FolkloreSunday
