Crafty Cloudscapes
I’m not sure if I’m just noticing the cloud patterns more this year, or if they really are more picturesque, but today’s clouds seemed to be screaming “take my photo!” as the sunlight caught them. #30dayswild

Hungry Squirrel
This squirrel could have picked a better branch to sit on, but as he was intent on eating what he’d just picked from the ground, I decided to take a photo with the twigs partially blocking my view of him. He was utterly oblivious to us standing there, and also seemed to be quite happy with…

Unusual cloud formations
“Come and look at these clouds” – normally we get the best cloud formations to the North or East, but these appeared to the South. A slightly awkward angle to take a photo (hence the washing line in the bottom right corner!), but with the way the sunlight was peeking through the clouds, it was definitely worth taking…

Most of the birds seemed keen on eating some of the seed heads on the plants, while these few decided that perching on the plant supports would…

Seed heads

Sunset – obscured by clouds
There was no chance of a sunset photo with this much cloud cover, but the breaks in the clouds almost looked like polo mints. Despite walking past a major building site, there were a surprising number of small birds flying around – they seemed to be completely unfazed by the noise from the machinery. #30dayswild

Ominous Clouds
Ominous clouds were brewing, although they did pass by quite quickly. And we were left with an oddly silver glow to the clouds as the sunlight tried to break through. #30dayswild
