I think my cat has melted. It was 32º in the glass-roofed conservatory but he persevered with his Madame Récamier impersonation.

I think my cat has melted. It was 32º in the glass-roofed conservatory but he persevered with his Madame Récamier impersonation.
So happy to have a dry and sunny day after weeks (months) of rain. Woodland is scant around here but we found a lovely trail and it was absolutely awash with the white starry flowerheads of wild garlic! The smell was incredible and I came home craving garlic bread and pizza.
I’m pleased with myself for finding something to post every day for the April Photoblogging Challenge, including the 2 bonus days. There are so many great photographers here with a wonderful eye for a shot and amazing locations, I usually get too shy about posting my mobile phone snaps.

📷 April 2024 Photo Challenge Bonus Day 1: bubble (@paulrobertlloyd) With no time to take a new image for today’s prompt, all that came up when I searched my Google Photos was this really bad phone shot of a mermaid in a bubble I took at a street carnival a couple of years ago 😕.
📷 April 2024 Photo Challenge Day 30: hometown (matt / @mattypenny) My hometown is on the Greenwich Meridian line. This is, one of three sculpted figures around town that mark the Meridian Line, “Searching”

I resisted posting a photo of a blue sky for today’s prompt! Not hard to do as I can’t remember when I last saw one…. 📷 April 2024 Photo Challenge Day 22: blue (Elizabeth / @lzbth)

While drinking my coffee in the conservatory today, I was treated to this shameless display of thievery in the neighbours' garden. I wonder if this is the same squirrel who’s been digging around in my potted acer tree? Maybe that’s where he’s been stashing his stolen loot.
📷 April 2024 Photo Challenge Day 19: birthday (David / @crossingthethreshold) This is an older photo that came up when I searched for “birthday” in my Google photos. My partner used to make themed birthday cakes for friends, this Egyptian one was made for me one year because I love camels.
📷 April 2024 Photo Challenge Day 18: mood (@agilelisa) This was the most moody and dramatic sunset I have ever seen, even for a place on the coast known for its beautiful sunsets.
📷 April 2024 Photo Challenge Day 17: transcendence (Drew / drewbelf)
📷 April 2024 Photo Challenge Day 16: flâneur (Chris / @chrisaldrich) Today’s prompt got me head-scratching. Are these dapper gentlemen flâneurs?
📷 April 2024 Photo Challenge Day 15: small (James / @jmanes) I felt VERY small standing under this redwood, looking up into its canopy.
