Managed to capture the #aurora #auroraborealis #northernlights last night from Mid #devon . It was an amazing spectacle. The pillars could be seen with the naked eye (but no colour), and these unedited photos from my #AppleiPhone14Pro show the beautiful colours of the display #iphonephotography . An unforgettable experience, and a rarity for this far south.

In #Exeter today #BahHumbug 🙃

Listened to a fascinating podcast about #Bryology the study of moss which inspired me to pay more attention to this underrated ancient plant. The podcast was called "Ologies" by Alice Ward. Highly recommend a listen :-) #Ologies #Podcast #Science #Ecology

Some #photography taken at #dawn last week when I went to check on my #ponies. In the second photo, you can see the moon in the top right hand corner, with the sun rising toward the bottom left. #LandscapePhotography #Devon #Countryside
