Newsletter 2/4

BLOG

This blog is an archive of all of the daily nature photos I sent out via my newsletter.

I started this newsletter in March 2020; the idea was to help keep people's spirits up during the lockdown when they might not be able to get outside as much as they would like. I posted these photos on my facebook and instagram pages as well as sending them out by email, but I wanted everyone to be able to enjoy them - particularly the older generation who may not have social media.

To keep up to date with my nature photography, you can sign up to the newsletter here.
