Looking forward to taking @guidedogsuk.bsky.social Mabel to @dmtwestend.bsky.social #HamiltonTheMusical for the third time, first time for hubby. Mabel gets to chill with the staff who love seeing her and I get to see it first time with #AD and a touch tour.

#WhaleSharks are a favourite of mine 💛

Photo of a white Swan gliding across the lake

#blind #photo #swan finally a good one

Photo of a white swan on a lake reflected in the water. In the foreground on the left is a small black water bird running in front across the water as if he is photo bombing. It's either a coot or a moorhen, I get them confused.

When your #arty #photo of a #swan is photobombed!

Photo of a swan in a really weird position. Difficult to explain! His head is in the middle of the picture with his beak up in the air and his wing is up behind him. If I was going to give it a caption it would be oh no calamity!

Photo of a flooded lake. In the foreground on the left there is a tree with one large branch reaching across the top of the photo to the right. In the background there is a line of various sized trees. In the centre there is a bench just on the edge of the flooded water. The Sun is going down creating a shimmering line of light on the lake. It is in black-and-white.

A photo of my lunch. A mug of water in a striped yellow mug, chopped carrot in cucumber in a white bowl, a tuna and lettuce brown roll on a white plate, yoghurt mango and seeds in a white bowl with a silver spoon. Sounds a lot. But it's a little of everything.

I think #lunch has everything covered........

The top of a tree with bare branches and two pigeons sitting one under the other with their head tucked in their wings

Close-up of the bottom pigeon just as he turned his head towards me

Just 2 pigeons sitting in a tree, one turns and says 'you lookin' at me'? #poetry #photo #birds #tree #blind

A thin tree with a few bare branches on the top half take him from lowdown looking. The sun is right behind it and there are other trees behind it and to the sides. Because of the position of the Sun it almost looks black-and-white.

Four in five blind people struggle with gap at UK train stations, survey finds RNIB research uncovers high anxiety around rail travel with some having fallen into gaps or been trapped in doors

New research from @rnib.bsky.social shows that a lack of #accessibility - both physical and digital - makes independent train travel challenging for a significant percentage of people who are #blind and #VisuallyImpaired. 🚆🧑‍🦯 #BlindNewWorld

Have a listen, enjoy the comedy then go and see some live. Use it or lose it.

Blue sky and bare tree branches seen through a roughly egg shaped hole in the bark of a fallen tree.

Beautiful blue sky in the park today #nature #blind #photography

I get this a lot. It's usually meant as a compliment. But most #blind people hate this phrase, so unless you know the person well, best not to use it. #RPAwarenessMonth

A black bird sitting on the branch of a dead tree.

Actually managed to take a #photo of a #bird in a #tree. Quite the achievement when you have #LowVision probably a crow?
