    I was looking to connect with like minded people, if your family is like me, going for a walk and stopping to take photos can have an impact on others who don't share your interest. Not only did I pick up some new skills the social connection was great. As someone who works with people around connection, confidence and anxiety I know the power of connection. Looking forward to booking on other events to improve my knowledge and hanging out with likeminded people.

    Taken on 23/04/2026 using my iPhone 14 Pro Max.It was Bluebell time. I walked here, immersing myself in all the beautiful blue beauty.Their scent is unusual but so inviting.The weather perfect, with the sun shining through the wooded canopy, so I was lucky to get some good shots. I did a fairly simple edit, which I hoped captured the magic of he flowers, the wonky trees and the path inviting the viewer to step right in!&128153
