And next to yesterday's cherry blossom, we have pear blossom. And I mean next to as in "right next to," because the two trees, sakura and pear, are intertwined with each other, sharing a living space in the centre of the old orchard that more-or-less acts as our garden, menagerie and wildlife reserve.

A Wheatear turns resolutely away from me as I try to get a good shot of him.

It's times like this I really wish I had a bigger lens than the 200mm.

This is Tinker Brook as it runs through Foxhill Bank nature reserve in Oswaldtwistle.

Once an area of hard concrete lodges, this is now just about the closest most Ossy people will get to nature without heading out of town and into the moors. It used to be made up of disused concrete lodges but a lot of work, followed by a lot of letting nature take its course, has made it rather a pretty place.

We used to come here after school when I was a kid, to talk and laugh and feed the swans. Witness a little bit of my childhood as it drifts on by.

The gateway into some of the access land in Bowland Forest, with all the customary warnings about not littering or killing or setting fire to things.

Note the litter on this side of the fence. See, that's considered okay.

About

Graham Binns is a writer, photographer, musician and software developer from Lancaster, England, with far too much hair, a penchant for odd t-shirts and a magnificent hat. He has been making things up for as long as he can remember and has been making code work for long enough to make a living from it.

He has written one novel, which is in the process of composting, and is working remembering how to write before embarking on a second. In the meantime, he photographs things, since it's easier not to have to make the world up in his head all of the time.
