    How will you Big Garden Birdwatch?

    How will you Big Garden Birdwatch?

    Earlier in the year I was contacted by the RSPB, asking if I’d like to appear in an advert promoting the Big Garden Birdwatch.  A yearly back garden bird count, collecting citizen science data to help protect our garden birds. It takes place at the end of January every year, this year it’s 26th – 28th. Being photographed or filmed is definitely not something I am comfortable with, so I hesitated at first.  But what an opportunity and adventure it would be? In recent years I’v

    Pocket Hitchhikers

    Pocket Hitchhikers – Autumn Nature’s first green is gold, Her hardest hue to hold. Her early leaf’s a flower; But only so an hour. Then leaf subsides to leaf. So Eden sank to grief, So dawn goes down to day. Nothing gold can stay. by Robert Frost How many times have you come back from a walk and found your pockets full of little treasures of nature? It seems that some of us can’t help but pick up stones from the beach or conkers from the woodland, small tactile pieces of natu

    The Story Of Summer In Yorkshire

    Summer In Yorkshire Print from Raspberry Thief Summer In Yorkshire “I tried to find beauty there where I had never imagined before that it could exist, in the most ordinary things, in the profundities of ‘still life'” – Marcel Proust By the time Summer came upon us, drawing and journalling everyday had become a welcome habit. From the epiphany I had in Spring, the sense of new beginnings and learning, to a feeling of natural habit. The feeling of making leaps in my watercolou

    First Signs of Spring

    ‘It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade’ Charles Dickens First Signs of Spring by Raspberry Thief It was the Spring Equinox earlier this week. Day and night are almost equal lengths. It will soon be time for the clocks to go forward here in the UK, and the days to lengthen. Two weeks ago I ran to my local nature reserve, RSPB St Aidans. There was a chill in the air, but the sun wa

    July Family Adventure – 9 Miles of Sunshine and Golden Corn.

    Illustrated map of a walk from Aberford. July is usually a very busy month for us, lots of end of term school stuff going on, planning for the summer holidays, and birthdays. It was another unplanned, last minute decision trip after looking at a rather full calendar.  Instead of driving out further afield in the car we decided to stay local and explore somewhere we hadn’t been before.  We grabbed our local OS map and set off. 9 mile route from Aberford, via Hazlewood Castle,

    Wandering Educators – Artist Of The Month.

    Back in the summer I was asked by Dr. Jessie Voigts of Wandering Educators if I’d like to be featured as ‘Artist Of The Month‘. Jessie has featured some wonderful artists, so I feel humbled to have my work and background featured, thank you for your kind words Jessie.  Here’s a copy of the feature: Artist Of The Month: Angela Hennessy by Dr. Jessie Voigts / Nov 02, 2017 / Gorgeous colors, rich with the natural beauty of our earth. A keen eye, to see birds, waves, sunsets, and
