7 Day Nature Challenge. Day 7

As we are the Wandering Cows, I thought it would be appropriate to finish off the challenge with one of our brethren, posing here in the Kaçkar Mountains of North East Turkey.

Thank you Joanne from Coffee Fuels My Photography for nominating me to do the challenge. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed it, although it did require a fair bit of discipline to sit down and get it done before taking off on holiday.

7 Day Nature Challenge. Day 6

This is the result of an overly friendly and curious Turkish mountain goat sticking its nose in my phone camera.

The lovely Joanne from Coffee Fuels My Photography invited me to the challenge, and I’d like to invite you all too.

7 Day Nature Challenge. Day 4

I was walking along the chalk cliffs near Brighton, noticed these flowers growing out of a ledge and thought how miraculous nature can be.

The lovely Joanne from Coffee Fuels My Photography invited me to the 7 Day Nature Challenge, and I urge you to join too.

7 Day Nature Challenge. Day 3

There’s nothing I like better than cutting herbs from the garden (read planters) and cooking with them. They smell lovely in the heat of the sun. And rosemary is hardy, which is great for a pretty useless gardener like me.

The lovely Joanne from Coffee Fuels My Photography invited me to do the 7 Day Nature Challenge. Normally, I’d nominate someone in turn, but I’m on holiday away from London and might not be able to keep up with comments and all that. So, I invite anyone who is keen to take part too.

7 Day Nature Challenge. Day 2

I’ve never visited a bluebell wood and I’m thinking that I should make an effort to do so this spring time. Mental note to research it. Tips welcome.

The lovely Joanne from Coffee Fuels My Photography invited me to participate in the nature challenge, and I hope you’re inspired to join in too.

This collection of beach pebbles makes for a lovely abstract, and perfect for this week’s photo challenge.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Abstract

However, I’m going to do a double submission this week. The lovely Joanne of Coffee Fuels My Photography invited me to the 7 Day Nature Challenge, and I’m going to make this Day 1. She’s just finished with her set of nature images and you should go over and have a look. While I love living in London, I am envious of her Canadian mountain views. Also, I’m inviting anyone who is inspired by nature to take part in the challenge.
