Best overall experience and where it was
The app needs work, this should apply notifications as opposed to force opening the app.
I love seeing the arts tower every morning on my walk into uni
Start more focusing on the contast between geen/natural environment and the built environmnet. I used to fi that but to some limits
Eclesall Woods. Walking the dog and being very quite yet relatively close to 2 quite major roads
I liked how the canal looked like in the cold morning air.
The church on Crookesmoor road tbat I pass regularly on my way to uni
Just the amount of plants and trees within the city. Around buildings is such a breath of fresh air
When i worked as a postman this very much meant delivering door to door around built up neighbourhoods. On a particular round which i held for a year, i would deliver right round remington road, onto remington drive before then heading back across to remington avenue in the S5 area of sheffield. Between remnington drive and remington avenue there used to be a large grass field which has since been built upon. At the time this acted as a great shortcut, but also allowed a couple of minutes of time to switch off from my round and listen to my music. There was an abandoned sports hall building in the centre of the field, and a heavily vandalised community centre. Grafitti art on the buildings would change from time to time, but otherwise the opening was often peaceful, quiet and deserted. It was a welcome break each day on my round. Time to think, space to wabder through and for a few minutes every day it belonged all to me
Can temporarily take my mind off things after a long and stressful day at work. I would recommend the botanical gardens cause it's warm and there are places to sit around
I don't feel like I've posted enough. The best thing I was the ducks on the river in my walk to work
Walking in the dales with my girlfriend near Longshaw estate
Itâ€™s hard to pick between them. The best natural space for me was walking along Quiet Lane as the road curved around stone walls and hedgerows. The view was fantastic and there were streams on either side of the road. The best man made space has to be Endcliffe park for me as its mixture of paths along with the water flowing throughout and trees everywhere make it a really enjoyable place to walk and exercise in.
Endcliffe Crescent and Sheffield Botanical gardens
Manor castle, walking around the grounds and the visitor centre

This week?probably the trees and birds at linwood gardens (monday)
View of London skyline on a brief business trip.
The hallamshire house garden, with a great view over the city
My best experience of green space ever was in the fields near where I grew up in Rugby. Iâ€™d play out in them everyday, surrounded by trees, flowers and wildlife. In Sheffield my best experience of a green space was in Endcliffe Park in the autumn with leaves falling from the trees.
It was nice to actually stop and notice things around me
A walk nr Blackburn. It was a new place to walk and we were with family so lots of things to see and talk abput thst was new. We saw the river Ribble at Whalley and with the sun out it looked great
Probably being exposed to wintry weather - unpleasant and also invigorating!
The animals in the snow at Wadsley Park Village.
Working in the pam liversidge building this week has been nice as it feels quite outside the main university bubble. Other than that I havent had many memorable experiences this week.
I meant to mentioned western park, just cutting through on the wall to work is a nice small escape.
My best experience was actuslly today. I work at the Sheffield Institute for Translational Neuroscience (SITraN) and as on the roof is a green space for growing plant etc. These were being replaced by gardeners today.

On the way to classes along Netherthorpe Road!
Walking in the botanic gardens, due to the relative lack of a built space.
Visiting Heeley City Farm- lots of wildlife in a small green space.
When I have the time, I would hop on a bus that goes to Bakewell in the Peak District. I'd bring a journal to write my musings during the whole round trip. The view is best in the evening. When I get off the bus back in the city centre, I would feel loads better!
Endcliffe park, frosty eveinings and mornings, you feel away from the city in such a small place
The snow last Sunday on Bole Hill Park, Walkley, Sheffield
The water, birds and blooming flowers in western park
Alhough simple, i enjoyed walking aling the road that runs through Morley St allotments. Nice because of the viewd over the greenery down towards Rivelin, the bits of snow falling, the feeling of not being close to the houses that they are close to and the micture of green and bare trees with birds in.
The best experience is to be caught with surprise. I really enjoy walking in a green space and am surprised by all sorts. This experience is the best. Nature has great wonders.

Walking around Sheffield city centre. So many different types of architecture: old, modern and everything in between!! Plus lots of interesting sculptures too. And water features!

walking through sheffield botanical gardens
Views from up in the arts tower. Amazing!
The sun on endcliffe park in the morning

My best experience was being in a local park whilst the snow was coming down
One of the places I really liked is U-mix. I love dancing and they have very beautiful studios to practice. The floor is nice to dance barefooted and they have very big mirrors
I love the green area nearby st. George and the Winter garden
Taking in views of Sheffield from Cholera park
In the last week - Redmires Conduit. Leads out of the city towards the Peaks. Cold, crisp morning. Walkers, children playing at the playground but still a feeling of tranquility.

The neighbourhood of Walkley; the set of houses and the church in the main road. Also the views of the rest of the city from its high points.
The peak district, but because i was riding my motorbike had less time to take it in. Otherwise, today i was walking down mushroom lane mext to crookes park, had a lovely view of the boating lake through the trees.

Sheaf Valley Park is one of the best places for a view )
Weston Park in Sheffield. A peaceful and beautiful place of nature right in the middle of the city.
Despite going there every day, I always enjoy the views from the 16th floor of the Arts Tower. I can see the whole of Sheffield and all the way out to the peaks.
Crookes valley park, going walking with ducks and doggos
Getting married in Cambridge with the old buildings there
Watching the squirrels in Hillsborough Park.
In the last week? The green fields and blue skys on my bike ride near Thurgoland
My best experience was a picnic in a wildflower meadow. It was beautiful.
The best experience for me was the first day when I looked from my window and the view was beautiful. It made me feel like I want to go all the way up to the hills and explore thise places where i've never been
When I had to measure the mood I was in when I encountered an experience
Rivelin valley. Walking, playing with my children, but i have really enjoyed taking time to notice the little things around my street and garden.
I really enjoyed the couple of times I made the effort to get out for a walk on my lunch break and walk around weston Park and Crookes valley park
The sunny days around my flat, when birds chirped, squirrels ran around, and one was not freezing.
Walking out in the snowy countryside in castleton
Witnessing the beautiful residential spaces at Holmfirth near the edge of the Peak District

I think it was Graves Park with the animals at the farm
The dam house lake on a frosty morning. Part of the lake was still frozen and the grass around was frosted. There was bird song and it was very peaceful
I'd have to say the Rose Garden Cafe, because its the Graves Parkrun hub and Parkrun makes my weekend.
Western park. Sat there for a while and enjoyed the piece and quiet in surrounding buildings
Seeing the wagtail by the stream in the woods. Theyâ€™re such lovely little birds and i donâ€™t see them that often so when i do it always makes me take in my surroundings and enjoy the woods more than other days
Birds singing with eacg other, weston park
Walking in weston park on way to work clears head before day begins

My best experience was the view out my back window at home which looks across the
Sheffield City Centre for the Virgin Lounge Lounge, Library, Millenium, Shops and Markets
I thinknit was walking the dogs at dawn with the stars to giude us at the start and the sunrise to inspire us towards the end. Passing through local lanes, fields and footpaths. Hearing and seeing the local birds and mammals stating their day too. It was a walk from our house in the Loxley valley up to Stannington village and back down again.
All the green spaces at Weston Park and the area around that (such as Crookes Valley Park and the trees lining the roads) the area was incredibly well maintained with neat flower beds which provided a burst of colour and the ponds were lovely, the ducks there gave it character. Weston Park also had lots of benches and trees which provides good resting spaces and the trees attract birds
My garden, and the overhanging ivy to look out my kitchen window over
The moor development in sheffield city centre
Seeing the on the st georges church on campus
Crookes valley park on a sunny day and seeing bulbs springing up

Worst overall experience and where it was
Middle of town, where lovely old buildings had been made into shops or surrounded by ugly new builds
I dont have such as Sheffield is a grennish place everywhere
All and every sighting of litter where it shouldnâ€™t be i.e. outside of a bin.
When it was very cold and snowing yesterday
Build up of leaves and rubbish on ashgate road
In general, i don't like it when the green is strangled by cement.
Snow! I dont enjoy snow because I come from Kenya so Iâ€™m used to warm weather. I saw the snow outside where i live on edward street
In vietnam, halong bay, its gorgeous and world renowned for its beauty, but due to the amount of tourism and the lack of protection for this area, we learned a lot about the underlying issues of pollution in the bay from our guide, which was awful to discover
When the park is not well maintained. A park in broomhall
The old parts of Northern General Hospital
Fitzalan Square. And trees being chopped down...
The tree getting cut down near my accomodation
I havenâ€™t really had any negative experiences with green spaces, but there are two examples of things that annoy me. The first is in Ranmoor student village, as each accommodation block has a courtyard with grass terraces, yet there are no benches or places to relax so the areas are pointless. Courtyards should be spaces for socialising. The other is a metal fenced box near the entrance to Weston Park. It is out of place and an eyesore to an otherwise scenic and relaxing park
The experience of walking through weston park in the dark - despite its beauty, without light as reassurance, it felt very dangerous
Kids smoking weed in Mount Pleasant Park.
Park opposite my opposite my house, couldve used space better
I've not really had one, but I find a lot of but areas too clustered and that is un enjoyable
The bicycle path I mentioned was the least impressive thing I mentioned to you as it is just a part of road. But it is not something bad. As an especially bad thing would be the new buildings disturbing historic view of the streets.
Old school buildings in my school (Guthlaxton College) in Leicestershire. It felt very cold and impersonal.
Batemoor open space which was just grass.
Finding a gravestone vandalised with a swastica in a local graveyard.
In town, theres not much greenery, especially by meadowhall, its really busy and dirty
Sorry if I havenâ€™t been following this correctly regarding green spaces. I find this difficult to answer as my outings have been pretty limited unusually.
Person screaming on a microphone in Ponderosa
Walking from west street to bottom of moor. Not easy to know best route to take.
Didnt have a bad experience but town centre could have more green space
going down to the bottom end of sheffield town centre where argos is (angel street)
Chesterfield Road, which is very car-centric and unfriendly to pedestrians, with not enough quality crossing points. The part around KFC is the worst of all
In the city centre, itâ€™s very hard to find some green!
The previous would have been for church by uni. Worst probably anywhere too near a busy road or where its loud
The grass growing on the bus stop on Commonside
I dont think there is..sometimes even a tiny bit of green space can cheer one up :)
Urban green space with broken Amey barriers and rubbish accumulation in Langsett
The roads coming back from meadowhall becsuse theyre grey, drab and confusing
Seeing people just throw litter into ponds and onto grassed areas.
Dismal patch of grass choked by exhaust fumes in Shalesmoor

Just a lack of green space in the city centre in general
I dont think there was a worst. Its all positive.
Walking through muddy woods today in crawley
I enjoyed all the places I visited and I had only good experiences
Getting disoriented in the woods near beauchief.
Wouldnt say it was the worst however the lack of one in the Broad Lane area.
Litter in Hillsborough - middlewood road
Walking /driving through an old industrial area in the evening
Sitting in a park as the temperature dropped and the light failed. I expected it to be better, but the grass was half mud and there were hardly any birds calling, as would be normal at roosting time. Because it was in one of the more green & leafy parts of the city I'd expected more of it.
The worst place for me is Allen Street and Snow Lane. It is dark at night and all the buildings there are waiting for demolition.
I had very little green space time this week, so no good or bad.
Manchester. The architecture is chaotic. Everything is mixed up and causes a bit of distress.
The plants outside the Showroom Sheffield
Trees walking home from a night out obstructing view and makig feel unsafe
Places where I couldn't see anything of interest
All were good but least good was probably the planting around the university concourse
Probably just at night time when there was seemingly less nature
I dont thonk there were any, green spaces are always nice!
When its dark and the birds dont come out. Parks look rubbish. Mainly Roundhay Park
Broomhill near morrisons as it is very busy
the weather in general can ruin your intentions about going outside and enjoying nature
At a car park near the moor. Its very plain.
The Devonshire Green. Its right next to a car park and surrounded by roads. It is too small and plagued by anti-social behaviour.
No negative experiences, although I didn't go out to any green spaces over the weekend
In the really crowded places, when i eanted to enjoy nature but thefew nature that i got to saw was full of garbage. And that completely fuins the beauty of nature
There wasn't one particularly, just when the weather was bad
Difficult to say, nowhere specific. Just not that many green spaces where I live/work.
Canâ€™t pinpoint a specific bad experience in recent days
Probably on the side of the roads in sheffield, although there were flowers there was offen a lot of litter which ruined it
Seeing it when im at work and cant go out!
during really bad snow, the side streets near where I live didn't get cleared as well as I would hope so I didn't feel comfortable to leave the house and it ruined my plans
At Stannington the bin men leave bottles and rubbish blowing all over the street. Glass ends up being broken and its dangerous for my dog
Probably being in the town centre, not that thereâ€™s anything particularly bad about it but there isnâ€™t much greenery around at all
Probably the sheaf river. Nice ducks, shame about the litter, shopping trolleys and rats
Seeing a poor Ofo bike dumped into the Sheffield train station fountain.
The hanover road/ glossop road interchange. As a pedestrian its grey and polluted and difficult to get around.
I canâ€™t think of one. The only times I donâ€™t enjoy being outside is when it is too cold.
How few insects and birds there seem to be
On the tram to Meadowhall - so much rubbish thrown away
Walking to work and seeing minimal green space.
Near work, in a very dreary urban park. Nice try but not enough nature to inspire.
Same place when there were no wildlife (too much snow!)
Walking past the sheffield university roundabout I alwas notice how ugly it and the surroundig area look
The park behind where i work is a bit overgrown and on a night can be a bit eery.
The pockets of green space in Sheffield City Centre- too much pollution
A library where there were not so many windows
Quite a bit of litter aeounf my home estate green spaces
The rain in Crookes Valley Park, Sheffield for my early morning commute
No particular place, but where I saw planters or green spaces with litter in them
Flytipping in same place (morley st) - i see LOTS of it in Barnsley when up there with YWT and it always depresses me; sad to see that metal thing in the photo i included above.
When itâ€™s soiled and damaged. Like a rundown place next to a park.
Any city which hasnt got a mixture of building styles

Walking through the park by the tesco superstore with lots of shopping - I couldn't enjoy that space because thats what it's always associated with
For the same activity, dancing, once we were allocated to have a rehearsal at the foundry in the students union of the university of Sheffield. There were no mirrors and the floor was sricky and with splinters. I think the space should fit your purpose.
Maybe in the city centre where there is a lot of building and concrete and less greenery
The immediate surroundings of the Hallamshire Hospital
Biking in the peaks when the wind was gusting and it was pouring rain
Lack of green space in some parts of the city

Passing the park on the way to work but not having enough time to stop in it.

Have you seen something good you want to tell me about?
The pathway behind b&m on chesterfield road can be pretty in summer when the flowers are in bloom but recently it has been full of rubbish. The grassy area in front of b&m is now also gone to make way for a bus lane :(
Sheffield city hall, the surrounding is horrible
Probably the accidental green space in the middle of the industrial estate in South-East Sheffield, but even that was beautiful in its own way.
Walking along West Street. The paving is uneven and full of puddles. Itâ€™s busy and there is no connection to green space
Cats chasing each other on car park outside house
Seeing the trees in Western Road, sad because they are due to be cut down.

I guess the bus stop very early in the morning
(*Holmesfield, not Holmfirth) navigating along Sheffiedâ€™s ring road, seeing the derilict buildings along the way in West Bar

On the dual carriage way towards aldi st Marys gate
Devonshire green, probably because it was just grass, with very little diversity in terms of plants
Maybe harcourt road because its mostly student houses with unkept front gardens

Participant's observation
Thereâ€™s something about getting outside among the expanse of the landscape that allows me to let go of crowded thoughts and negative emotions. Sitting on a grassy patch watching the sun go down behind a hill gave me the headspace i needed to come back to my desk with more energy to carry on with work
Getting outdoors was an opportunity to take a break from work and clear my mind of stresses by focussing on the lichens i saw, the rain on my face and the crispy leaves beneath my feet
Snow, we had a little sprinkle here but most of the country was a wash with wintery scenes (and travel chaos). Amazing how magical nature can seem.
The ground beneath this sycamore tree was carpeted with seeds, all being picked, nibbled and thrown by a team of squirrels in the tree!
Huge expanse of hills and heather-covered land out in the Peak district
A plethora of spider webs all around my pots outside

Falling leaves from trees with beautiful colours
Plants in walkway outside The Diamond are noce
How they have all been designed very similar and with an intriguing design. The wooden cladding gives it a fruendly feeling

Two very different gable ends on terraced houses, side by side. One was more traditional with small tiles creating an ornate structure, and the other was dark wood which looked clean and modern. Both were lovely in their own way.
A slightly dilapidated bell tower on a deconsecrated church. It was of an unusual design and had foliage growing out of it. It was in a road with lots of dissimilar buildings and it was almost lost in between them and blended in
A building high on a hill - the windows on each side were of a different brightness because of the direction of the sun

The hedges at the allotments running in lines down to the track I was running along. The bird song too...so easy to tune out of the noise of birdsong but wonderful when you remember to listen!
A glorious sunset this morning. Streaks of pink and orange, unlikely colours to combine in my book, but it made for a beautiful distraction as I cycled down to the station.
The beautiful sunny sky! The sky is definitely getting higher in the sky now. Spring might be coming!

A lovely drive in the Peaks with my family.
I walked through western park on my way to the library. I walked over the wet grass so i could feel like i was more away from the city, despite it being a landscaped and managed space. There were birds in the trees singing which was relaxing
I walked through Crookes Valley Park on my way to the library and took my music off to listen to the birds. It felt quite warm and spring-like! The pond has unfrozen also

Ive been for two runs today. The first was a sprint session this morning at goodwin sports centre, a deserted 3g pitch surrounded by trees just off fulwood road. It was freezing, there was a thin layer of frost on the ground but the crisp blue sky and sunrise over the top of weston park hospital made the session a bit more bareable. I could hear bird all around the pitch, but this was drowned out by the traffic quite a lot. The run this evening was with a staff group, so lots of chatter en route with colleagues, through weston park and crooks valley park, which are fantastic in the day time, a little harder to tell in the dark. I could still hear birds in spells over the second rush hour traffic of the day. Some glompses of nature to start and finish the day
There is a deep hile next to where i work on northumberland road and i paid a bit more attention to it today than i normally would. Its about 40metres across and 20 metres deep. In the winter you can see right to the bottom as all the tangle of trees have lost their foliage. There is some abandoned foundation work at the foot of the hole, long firgotten about. Its so strange to have such a large bit of unused land in the middle of the city, university campus and bustling student area thats just idol, but it must be a haven for wildlife. It is sad however to see so much litter thats washed up or been dumped here
I wanted to let you know about my garden on manor park crescent. I spent a lit of time, singlehanded, sorting out the garden from what it looked like in the three years we rented here. It was incredibly hard work but very mentally rewarding as it was the first part of the house to be finished. Plants went in over the summer and i see lots of birds and wildlife now visiting the space. I cant wait for the summer where its thriving again and we can get out and enjoy it
On ny walk to work this morning it was really miserable. Its about the 20th day in a row that its rained. I used to work as a postman, and rain never bothered me that much, it was quite refreshing. As a postie you were out in all seasons which i think is important. If you only go out in the summer you miss so much with the changing seasons, but i dont fault people for not venturing into the rain if they dont have to.
I got schmapped on my drive in to work, but i wouldnt say there is a lot if nature on the journey. I drive right through the centre of town and the only real nature there is on the way are the trees that grow across the top of the wicker arches. I think its cool how thyeve managed to make their way up there, and look quite eerie this time of year. Other than that, not a lot to report, just traffic, rain and umbrellas
I went for an 8 mile run earlier today, the longest run ive ever done. It took me around manor park, bramall lane and up to prince if wales road. There were tonnes of trees on the route, all bare in the winter sunshine. It was a glorious day outside, still a little wet underfoot, but all in all a very quiet and plesant trip. It was a lot quieter in terms of traffic as well which helped.
The sunrise over the estate to the left of my house when i leave for work, particularly on winter mornings is brilliant. It stretches a host of colours across the industrial estate in the distance, and then the hills and meadows in the far distance. Its like something out of a Bob Ross painting. Its been a rare event this winter so yesterday morning (monday 22nd) was an absolute treat
I wasnt around a lot of nature yesterday, i spent a lot of time in the office on an unisually busy friday. Its pants bot being able to get outside, but then again the weather is appauling anyway!
Its a pretty nice morning on the way to work, much brighter than yesterday
In meadowhall. No nature to report, just rude people everywhere
Were out on the university of sheffield campus doing some promotion of the sport department. The weather is lovely heading past weaton park, crooks valley park and the arts tower

I like this street, I often choose to walj down it on my way into the city. It's quiet (few cars), has nice houses, each is different in design, set back from the street with large front gardens. I like to look into the gardens and see what different people have done. Overall it's very green.

Working at home indoors can sometimes be stifling but itâ€™s nice to take time to look at the little patch of green and trees opposite my flat. Looking up from the computer screen to this lovely scene (however small) makes me feel relaxed and itâ€™s all available from my window. Although the trees are bare, they make a lovely wintry picture.
I saw the lovely entrance to Weston Park on my way to work this morning (museum side) and looked in at the grass, trees and flowers on my past.
This morning was the first bright sunny morning for ages (i.e not rainy, snowy or overcast) so I really loved the bright blue skies on my walk to work. Very different to the grey weâ€™ve had of late. Love a sunny but cold winters day!

Darnall graveyard is a great spot to see & hear a large variety of birdlife, all year round. I expect there is plenty of other wildlife that i never get to see. It is a spot rarely frequented by humans, just the occasional dog walker or someone taking a short cut home. It is quite peaceful.

In Beeston town centre the other day I noticed that the shopping street is very nicely paved and it is pedestrianised with plenty of benches so it is really nice to walk down. Also, I donâ€™t feel like I am overshadowed by tall buildings as most or all of the shops are only like normal houses but with a shop below. It feels nice as it feels open and not claustrophobic. There are trees down the street in huge plant pots which feels good as it makes the street more colourful and more enjoyable to walk down.

On M5 south of Bristol - on way to Cornwall - I saw a small wind farm. Tried to take a photo but we had driven past.

Today i walked around Abbey Lane cemetery, my nearest green space. I noted the Rowan berries are all ripe - a certain sign of Autumn. Also some branches of trees have started to turn to autumnal hues. There were a few grey squirrels around, quite a lot of Magpies and Pigeons as usual, but also 3 Jays, Goldfinch, a Robin and other birds flitting in the tops of trees. My son was suprised when i pointed out a pair of green (ring necked)? Parakeets which went screaching overhead.\nSuprisingly there were a number of white Rhododendron bushes in flower, unusually late for spring flowering shrubs. There were both red and yellow Monbretia and autumn flowering crocus. A pleasant walk.
i went for a walk around Sheffield Botanic garden today and it was fine and sunny. Some of the trees are starting to turn autumnal and there were plenty of flowers out. The bedding plants were still going strong giving lots of colour. As far as wildlife, i only saw a squirrel, magpies, pige on, dunnock.
It was a beautiful sunrise - a big orange sun and lots of mist. I went to watch the hot air balloons go up at Chatsworth and it was well worth getting up so early. A lovely calm sunny morning, quiet and uplifting. Only a few ducks on the river and a few fallow deer in the park
Just been for a little walk and i do love this time of year - when the sun is out and the leaves on the trees are starting to turn. Butter yellow, deep reds and bronze. Seen pigeon and Magpie and tiny birds too far away to identify.
Had my second health walk and saw a parrakeet in an adjacent tree. I did try and get a picture but the leaves provided lots of cover and i gave up! No other birds (except pigeons)! You can see the leaves turning golden

Fiuntains in tge peace garden, sheffield.
Slap bang in the middle of a pavement surrounded by roads, there's a crow (or rook) digging out the moss growing round a drain cover. The cocky hop and inquiring tilt of its head are just made to lift your spirits.
I'm less than 2 miles from the city centre, in a really deprived area, yet there's nature all around. Trees line the streets, the houses have front gardens, and thee's a park. I hear birdsong while waiting for the bus. And then there's the prettiest lichen on the park wall
The tree tops (all I can see from my office window, which is a skylight in a sloping roof). I love the way groups of leafless trees look fluffy. It's really calming to look at them.
Looking at all the trees before the leaves start coming. Seeing the structure of them, on show. It's actually my favourite of the different phases trees go through during the year
In a different park, in a very different part of town. I'm sat next to a small river / large stream in the dusk, listening to the water. It's very calming.
All the self-sown buddleias along the bus route, growing where there's virtually no earth. It never ceases to lift my spirits, just how persistent life is.
The sun's out, the sky's blue and there are lots of little cumulus clouds. Fun fact - without clouds there'd be no life on dry land. Yay for clouds!
As I turned to face the road to flag down the bus, I saw these lovely snowdrops and crocuses. Seeing these early flowers always makes me smile
The new, pink tinged leaves on the roses in the garden. It might be perishingly cold, but everything's starting to come back to life.
After all the snow and cold, it's lovely to hear the birds singing and see that the crocuses have survived and are still blooming
Not seen, but heard. All the little birds are singing in the trees, hedges and eaves as I'm waiting for the bus
Newly- built student accomodation near the Diamond. i love the blue transparent glass windows. Very modern

I cleaned up Heeley woods with other volunteers today, picking litter. It looked lovely when we had finished. The place is beautiful, woods, a little stream,.birds singing
This morning felt like spring is on it's way. Very early, when it was still dark, a blackbird sung and gavecs little morning concert. I absolutely love early morning birdsong. The best music in the world. This morning it was one single bird but I'm sure others will join him soon
I saw the moon, very bright and sharp, behind some clouds,.lighting up the clouds, which made it look very eerie but beautiful
A bird is just songing in my garden and it sounds like spring
This flat on my walk to work feeds the birds and they queue on the fence to use the feeders.
These steps were broken and I used the Fix My Streets app to get them fixed.
Supporting more people to get involved in sport. Free resources.
Work to lower kerbs to make them more accessible.
Getting a peaceful hour in before a busy day.
I went to Fletcher Moss Park this afternoon
It was busy today at work so I had to stay in at lunch. Out of the window I looked out at the Winter Gardens though.
The train I get to work every day goes through the Peak District.
I walked past Picadilly gardens this morning.
Love the shadows across the fieldsin Bradfield as the sun sets. Peaceful

The rhythm of a row of terraced houses as we drove past them yesterday evening) sorry, meant to post this yesterday but was ill) - something about the repeating pattern pleased me.
Dome of the abbeydale picture house - a distinctive local landmark, which will hopefully be restored in the near future.
Sunlight on buildings near my house (I'm not there now), enjoyed the colours of the brick.
Some multi coloured bins behind the shops - terrible smell but I enjoyed the colours!

Some trees have completely shed their leaves.
Nice man made lake in crookes valley park, quieter green area with plenty of foliage.
Simply lots of birds (not pigeons) out in the Ponderosa
Crookes valley park again, lots of birdsong
The path is raised and set back from the road here. It slightly reduces the noise, but more importantly it gives a sense of physical protection/separation from the traffic, which is far more relaxing. The trees and hedges offer soothing green and a sense of being nestled into a natural environment. It's not got the oppressive feeling that fences or walls with similar spacing usually create, partly because of the large gaps between the trees. Plenty of light and some shelter from the wind. A real pleasure to walk on.
This junction between buildings incorporates hedges to reduce traffic noise, and small green spaces where people can rest in nice weather. However, they're open so don't make it closed in or provide shelter where people could be lurking at night. Also, flowers
This junction is designed with additional bushes and trees, making it feel less intrusive and more like a sheltered island. The road parts and then circles around a long way, keeping this residential area peaceful by making it self-contained.
This corner is a quiet spot next to the road, just off a main road. It's a good place to stop and test for a while, quietly watch the traffic and listen to the birds, or even sit reading in the sun
I like the curve of the glass here, and the clean stone. It's fairly spacious but still feels a bit private to walk down or stand in. You can even shelter from rain under the metal support
This building had a high roof supported by lots of beams. It allows a lot of natural light inside D keeps the temperature comfortable. I also find the beams elegant and pleasing to look at
I like this Victorian building remaining in the heart of the city. It gives the sense of history that industrial cities share, and it's an elegant bit of architecture
The upper part of this building is lovely, unfortunately spoiled by a horrible alteration. If it were restored it could be a great asset to the town centre
These balconies give a place to get fresh air without going outside, and let neighbors easily chat and watch the comings and goings in the block
In the winter gardens. The wood effect is very soothing and the high ceilings make it feel spacious and welcoming. The plants are soothing.
The school nearby is surrounded by high trees, which rustle cheerfully and intriguingly in the wind, and birds sit singing in them
This is a peaceful space, nicely enclosed from the bustling city centre and full of plants
This artificial waterfall makes the park more interesting and cheerful
This set of stylish houses/businesses near the botanical gardens

The rain has been falling all day but I couldn't see because I work in a room with no windows. When I left work and was on the train home it passes by playing fields, which this afternoon were somewhat flooded. I don't think this is good but it's a big change from the earlier part of the week.
The sky is blue and the sun is reflecting on a bright white wall outside my bedroom window. Beautiful!

Boys trying to rescue their football from a frozen pond
I walked past the side of Western Park on the way to work which i did not pay attention too until the app alerted me. I thought how lovely and green the trees looked and i wished i had time to walk through, but i was in a hurry.
I really like the architecture of the church and its position in the landscape.
The Devonshire Green. A small green space near the city centre.
I love the squirrel from the kintergarden near my house

It has been difficult to find anything today. Maybe the crisp clean air after the rain. But no nature or wildlife where I work/play netball.
The sunshine and the gentle breeze. Trees starting to come back to life and the shops are selling daffodils again.
Lovely green space in the middle of Uni campus. Lots of wood pigeons and squirrels and beautiful big trees.
Iâ€™m in town, but the crispness of the fresh air is good, even here.
Once again its the view from above that gets me. Sitting on my window and watching the lights twinkle across the city, pin-pointing the landmarks that can be recognised, is one of the most peaceful evening activities. The journey into the peaks may be considered the most attractive part of sheffield, but the city at night is an equal match.
Traffic isnâ€™t often enjoyable, but as the sun goes down and the lights bounce from car to car and between buildings its certainly a little magical
Architecture of Firth Court complements its surrounding of Weston Park and provides a thoughtful view from Western Bank

The sky scape of sheffield from furnival house. Where it was raining across half the city and sunny on the other
It's sunny today! The birds were singing when I got the bus back up to the university. I wouldn't think there really were many birds around the bus station. It seems so barren
I woke up listening to the wind outside and felt all cosy inside. I'm probably not leaving the house today because I'm off work with stress this week.
I didn't see much nature today because I've been home unwell but I did see a spider and it reminded me how much nature is probably hiding in my house
I saw a spider in my office and it was really happy just chilling out by my desk. Happy nature living in our urban world

Iâ€™m walking to meet a friend, looking at all the nature around me.

Iâ€™m walking home from meeting my brother and a beautiful owl just swoops past in front of me and pearches on a branch above me. I thought it was pretty cool so I stood for a while watching it, it watching me. I moved around a bit to see if it would follow me, and it carried on looking at me. I admired how cool owls are for a while!
Iâ€™m looking outside the window of my flat, and thereâ€™s lots of trees and plants around. Iâ€™m thinking about how interesting it is that some trees have evolved to become evergreen and others just lose their leaves, nature is pretty cool
Eating breakfast this morning, and a squirrel comes up near the window and digs away at the ground to find some buried goods. I just sat there for a while watching it. Also last night on the way to pre drinks I saw a fox chasing a rabbit - very cool!

I love the street art and i particularly like this one for the #lovethehate hashtag. This mural was mocked on social media for not being a very good likeness of David Bowie. But rather than cover it up or try to "fix" it, the artist added the hashtag. He or she "owns" their art, even if it isnt what other people expected or approve of. I think Aladdin Sane would approve.
I like these organic curved mosaiced benches and walls in Devonshire Green. They remind me of Gaudi's Parc Guell in Barcelona. Wish we had the Barca weather to go with it!

I like hearing the wind in the tall trees and I got to watch a mumeration of Starlings here last year. ðŸ˜ƒ Oooo, a white butterfly hss just fluttered by and I can hear birds in the trees.
I fed the birds in my garden today. I mainly get Sparrows and Starlings. The Sparrows seem to love my hedges and I often hear them chattering away in the hedge. I also get a lot of bees and butterflies. They love the flowers that I plant for them.
I'm walking home from work along the canal as I need some peace and quiet to chill out after a noisy day. The birds are chittering away in the trees and the autumn colours are starting to show.
I'm sat at Crabtree ponds chilling out. Thete's a grey squirrel in the tree making a sort of barking noise and birds chattering. It's very peaceful and just what Ineed right now.

Plus the sub is shining and everyone thats out and about is saying good morning ro each other and looking relaxed and happy. Feel very lucky to live here with so much nature around us.
A grassy slope in the park was great to roll and slide down with our little girl, it sparked her imagination and made us laugh and get exercise together. A wild meadow area in the park looked beautiful in the evening light and birds swooping over it were very relaxing to watch.
Yesterday evening we went for an after dinner walk having had a bad day. The park was quite empty and peaceful and walking through the woods we all felt so much more relaxed. We found a hatched out bird egg that was a beautiful blue colour and a wild cherry tree.

I walk between broomhall street and gell street every morning on the way to work, past springfield primary school and the badketball courts. Most days when i walk by there i see up to 6 magpies flying around, usually at least two. This morning i only saw one, probably because it was very windy and raining heavily.
I was walking home late last night, around 10pm and the ground was wet and i saw an oil slick on the ground which made an array of colours. This was near the start of west street, near the tram stop.
In the way to work today there were two pigeons together and kne was pecking on the back of the other as if to clean the feathers. I have never seen this before. This was on Bowdon street.
The roundabout coming off furnival street has stonework in the middle that I assume is meant to resemble the peaks. This view changed as you move around the roundabout.

I like to look up at the sky from under a bare, leafless tree in the winter. I once read a book mentioning it as a precious memory of one of the characters in the book. I don't think I have any specific memories related to it myself, but I do love the view and it makes me fill with wonder.
It's good to hear birds chirping during the day. Hoping that spring can just hurry up and come. The weather's also getting warm now and I love seeing the sun rays peeking through the window shades in the afternoon.

Urban walk today. Enjoyed walking through this unkept jennel
This one's not so good. Went for a walk in Ecclesall Woods this afternoon. My companion has difficulty walking. The paths were not good enough for her - too many jagged bits of brick, rocks, tree roots etc. Disabled people need to get out into nature and it wouldnt take much to make Ecclesall Woods more accessible to them.
Driving ip Abbey Lane towards Ecclesall Road this morning, Ecclesall Woods still seemed betu fresh, green and slmpst spring-like in the sunshine.

Birds flying around the city centre in pairs - even in a city can still see nature around
Even though the trees are bare, the sun has been shining today and it feels like spring is so close. Those bare trees that have been staring at me throughout the winter will soon be filled and with the sun shining on them they donâ€™t seem so sad anymore
The sun was out today over the park so everything looked so green, it gave me a warm feeling of happiness
The Arctic Monkeys elephant in the Winter Gardens
This morning I spotted a Jay Bird just outside of my window, which is nice because it's not very often that you see them

I noticed that the plants outside work had been well cared for and pruned ready for spring growth
Today I walked on a subway and noticed how clean it was
Some lovely landscaping at a restaurant/hotel
Bench in the beautiful sunshine escaping the hectic city centre
Saw some dogs wearing jumpers today, they looked cozy.
I noticed squirrels running around under the rain. Made me realize I was also running around under the rain and question if I am not a squirrel in denial.
Rain is soothing when you are not getting all wet under it.
I noticed a line of trees with snow on and it looked idilic. Made me think there is a silver lining on everything.
I noticed the trees swaying gently in the wind while I was walking to labs. There was also different shades and colours which looked beautiful. Feel calming in the mist of stress
I noticed the dog outside barking at the sky or nothing really but it sounded liked a really happy anf hopeful bark which sounds weird but it was nice.
I saw the peak District covered in snow and it was so quiet except for some small tits singing in a tree. Was magnificent.
I saw my back garden and how it has evergreens in it and through all the cold weather it's nice to see dark greens still.
I saw the snow falling gently and made me feel calm in the storm and safe indoors when I was inside or wrapped up warm
I noticed a bed of flowers and bushes and just brightened up my day. It added colour to a dreary day.
Our honeysuckle has grown just enough to reach the top of our pergula! And i spotted lovely little ferns poking out of a stone wall on my walk to work.

Dog rustling through the sunny long grass
Noisy crushing of nutshells beneath feet
Visiting London today. Walking in Grern Park right in central London makes mevaporeciate thatbther is natureveven in the metropolis. Aboutv45% ogbLondon is open space apparently...but not as grern as Sheffield.
Lovely evening at Concord bowling green. Trees rustling in the breeze but no bird song...too much traffic noise. Pity I lost my bowls match!

Walked at Ringinglow this morning. The heather is past its best but atill nice. A few grouse on the moots.

A very big park , plenty of trees, water fountains, streams, river and seagull sounds flying above, fresh coutryside air, plenty healthy crops and plants
The calming sound of the gashing water in a fountain, greeness of trees and plants in a garden, a nice breeze of air in a warm bit cloudy day ,
Sound of leaves moving with wind,a sound of a singing bird on a tree branch, sound of heavy rain against cars and ground and trees.
River and stream water sounds relaxing, fantastic big rocks, layers of heather view on landscapes, so much greeness and fresh air

I stopped on my cycle ride to work today after hearing a woodpecker - after about a minute of staring up at the tree I saw that it was a Great Spotted Woodpecker ðŸ˜€
Today, I saw the white rumps of four Roe Deer running into Thrupp Community Woodland
Bluetits and chaffinches feeding on a bird feeder
I had a meeting in this building. It doesn't look much, it's a bit of a ramshackle collection of buildings but great things happen from here - it's the offices of Heeley Development Trust who do loads of great work in the neighbourhood - looking after Heeley People's Park, regenerating Sum Studios, supporting Friend of Meersbrook Hall, oh and they run recycle bikes from here too! So not so much the space but what happens because of it is my good thing. And there are fantastic views of the sky from the office windows but I forgot to take a pic.
I went to my monthly WI meeting. It's in a churh. I'm not religious so don't visit churches often. I like this one because I associate it with interesting talks and activities with an interesting group of women. As it's an evening meeting there is often lovely light illuminating the stained glass. Today I stood on the steps and admired a huge rainbow filling the sky above the ring road. Everything is better with a rainbow!
Today was a tricky one for built space as we went for a walk in a remote part of the peak district. But we found some man made structures on top of the moors, which we think are part of the moorland management - possibly to prevent peat erosion and encourage vegetation growth. They also served as very useful bridges over some very very wet ground.
Another one from the top of Meersbrook Park. The kids had been getting niggly with each other and needed to get out so we just went for a mosey to the park. The view across city never fails to lift the spirit - the best vista from an outdoor gym in Sheffield! The kids were in a much better mood when we got home.
Another one that perhaps doesn't quite fit the question! We drove home from Chesterfield at rush hour. It was really busy and it made me really appreciate that I don't have to commute in a car everyday. Nearly everything I need day to day is within walking distance of home. Of that I am very thankful!
Sorry Ivve missed a few days, haven't been out much or felt inspired. Today was back to school day. Whilst the summer was good it was quite nice to get back into the routine of the school run - walking such a familiar route, not particularly interesting, but quite comforting in a way.
This is yesterday's entry, I forgot to post. We went to York and visited the Yorkshire Museum. I love the sense of history - you can literally see the layers of development and its all held together by the use of the same stone through time. I love feeling a connection to the past.
We visited Worsborough Mill near Barnsley. It was great to see a working heritage building run by local authority. Interesting history. I like the connection with the past - we bought flour ground at the mill just as people have being doing for centuries.
Yesterday's entry.... Went swimming at Ponds Forge for the first time, it's not a beautiful building, but the design of the pool meant my little boy actually enjoyed himself and had fun. Usually he really doesn't like swimming and just wants to get out.
I was inside most of the day so a bit of a different one... I've been planning a Heritage Open Day to celebrate Meersbrook Hall so have been thinking about why it's good and why people will be interested in it and it's history.
Just the view from the kitchen window whilst I wash up. It's not particularly special, but I like the hotchpotch of rooves. It's so familiar, but different depending on the time of year and time of day.
We had lunch in Low Bradfield. I liked this bus stop because of the big roof tiles - it completely fitted the surroundings. It pops up out the stone wall and then the wall contines.
Last night I saw a few shooting stars from the persid meteor shower. Since the street lights have been upgraded the city is SO much better for star gazing.
Today's entry...Another day spent more in the countryside than anywhere built up, but came home to a lovely sunset. I love the view over the rooftops.
Views of the city from Meersbrook park. I like to be reminded how close we are to the centre, but it doesn't feel like we live in a busy city.
After a few dreary days it was nice to see a lovely sunset from the attic window. I'll never tire of the view west across the roof tops.
NB, the above entry should have been tagged at St Andrews Church on Upper Hanover Street
The lovely old textured walls of the Walled Garden in Meersbrook Park.
View from the attic window across the roof tops.

The park bench and small wood in between Ecclasall road and collegiate crescent
Really cute garden and nice coloured front door
At the very start of this gloomy day I watched the graceful flutter of a bright red and black butterfly. She looked so beautiful and serene when she settled upon the dry stone wall darkened by overnight rain in my backyard. I would like to be able to identify her.
It's such a bright but chilly, autumnal morning. This is the tree in our shared garden. I take the same shot of this tree throughout the year to record it's changes.
This afternoon two grey squirrels, looking upon by an inquisitive jay, danced, skipped and buried nuts in our lawned garden.
There have been a number of bats darting about in the garden this evening. I love their little clicking sounds.
Natureâ€™s own fireworks. The tree-lined streets of Nether Edge. Carpets of rusty red and gold.
I saw a field of rabbits whilst travelling on the Penistone line between Sheffield and Huddersfield.
Butterflies. Two, three butterflies fluttering in the sunshine in a park conservatory.
Housemartins and Highland Cattle sheltering from the wind and rain.
We watched one of our resident squirrels bury some nuts today.
Went for a walk around damflask reservoir today. Its one of my favourite walks. It mixes nature and design together beautifully. Not only is the actual structure of the resovoir impressive with the damn at the end and the overflow steps leading to the river, but it also has really good pathways all round making it accessible to all. There are also bits of artistic stonework along the way wich are fantastic. At first glance it feels like a nature space but there is a lot of design and engineering involved. Love it!
Went to the yorkshire sculpture park today. Obviously the sculpture being in all that open space is fantastic- particularly the ones that are bug enough for todlers to exploore themselves.\n\nThe building with the cafe and galery is lovely... the pathway up the the building itself is really interesting in that it is made of metal but instead of just being a grid its all covered in writing.\n\nThe other nice thing is the large windows that really let you feel part of the landscape. Love it!
Shopping at morrisons in hillsborough. Not a fan of supermarkets exactly but thought today how its really nice that an old/ historic building complex has been repurposed to something new... the smaller shops nearby in the arcade is good too, particularly the independant shops... and the fact that it is pedestrian only is fantastic as it means my toddler gets to walk safely. The independant cafe that has a play space is a real draw for me and means i go to the other little shops too...
Went to walkley high st today... the library is particularly lovely. Its an old building at the end of the high st. I did notice that there are only steps leading to the main doors so is a problem for wheelchairs and prams...\n\nTheres a real mix of shops but the ones in particular that are great are the independant cafes, bakery and butchers... theres a mix of old run down places and some with very new investment wich is really good to see. Hopefully msore will come to the area.
Lovely park in Oxsprings, Barnsley. Realy good mix of equipment for different ages and plety of space in between for running around... i liked that it was all wood and with grass rather than rubber flooring etc... might be a different story in winter though! It was located next to pic nic benches too and there was even a childrens birthday party being held there where theyd set a treasure hun around the space. Fantastic!
Spent most of today in the car so not many opportunities to see good things. Before we left the seaside i notices a really large brick shelter that had benches all along which meant people could enjoy the sea front even in the rain. Also some of the walls around the highst had been decorated with real shells that looked really cool and reflected the nature of the area.
Havent seen much thats inspired me at the moment. Have been to the northern general hospital and although it is a confusing place with a lot of carparks and small roads... there were a few nice mordern buildings which made you feel that when walking into the hospital that you were being treated with the best and latest equipment... strangely reasuring!
Went to meadowhall today. Im not the biggest fan of the place and generally dont like spending any time there. One thing i did like was the food court now has a couple of small indapendant eataries that made things more interesting. I also really liked some of the lighting that was more like art instilations which made the space less sterile.
Walking through walton on the naze sea front today i noticed a large central green that was hosting a clasic cars show. It was bustling with people of all ages... id walked the same route the day before and hadn't even noticed that the area existed. Good to see that an urban area was being used for a comunity event.
Traveling down the M1 and we saw lots of wind turbines. I really like to see them working. I might feel differently if it was right next to my house. It makes sense that they are often located along the main highways as these are often areas already built up and will hipefully have less blight impact.
Went to my little boys school today. The school emblem is a dragon and today i noticed how many way it had been encorporated into the play setting... lovely wooden sculptures that were also planters and a bright red metal art piece that looked as though it could be sat/climbed on... brilliant!
Went to the beach today on the essex coast. Really loved the wide parade that enabled us to walk along the sea front. A real mix of old houses and modern apartments over looking the sea, all looked in pretty good condition making the whole place feel very nice to walk around.
Playing in the garden with the neighbours kids. Its been lovely and sunny so we've been out all afternoon. Its a safe space where i can let them play without worrying and the kids get to be a bit more free to do messy play.
I can hear lots of birds in my garden. Being able to see the trees through the windows is really nice. Its a bit wet out there now thouhh so hope to head out later.
Fox valley shopping arcade in stocksbridge. Particularly the outdoor soace around the fountains... very good for little ones to play!
The gp practice in deepcar is a really nice light and airy building. Modern and clean looking and feels nice to walk into.
Flowers starting to grow as spring comes
The way social places are arranged, sich as benches in the park, there is a sense of privacy, yet you're still a part of the community.
The sun is out and there are loads of sparrows hunting worms
The grass on the hill i can see out of my office window
Large and overgrown vegetation along the sidwalk on the way home.

I've just been to Sainsburys supermarket on Claywheels Lane, its big and spacious, not cluttered. I prefer to drive there on route avoiding major roads, less traffic and better views.
Sorry, I'll make another entry tomorrow.
Enjoying how the sky looks like water this morning
How i can see parts of the peaks poking through gaps in the houses. Can still be close to nature when in the city centre.
Even in my damp student room, my 4 plants still manage to grow. Noticed a few new leaves today
The pale rainbow colours of the sky during sunset, and the wind turbines in the distance
The ducks and moor hens in the park this morning, the scenary was very peaceful
Waking up early and only hearing the birds singing outside
This morning is crisp and clear. There is still some snow around from the light fall a day ago and lots more forecast. We walked around 4 miles with our dogs starting in the dark. Our route took us through some natural areas, some farmed land and suburbs. The half moon was bright and unusual in its clarity, it lit up open areas wonderfully and we hardly needed torches except under the tree canopy. We saw ir heard quite a few birds preparing to start their day; fluttering in trees, hopping about looking for food and one or two singing. The sunrise was one of those amazing light shows where the while horizon shows a spectrum of colour from deep red through orange, yellow and into shades of blue. The deep dark sky gradually lightening as the day breaks. \nLast night the stars were really clear too - i was too tired ti remember to make a note then but we could see lots of constellations. I can only identify Orion and the Plough - i wish i knew more!
Outdoor conditions this morning are difficult with freezing rain after snow last night. The best i can manage is that i marvelled at the temperature and moisture conditions being perfect to allow co-existence of ice, snow and water underfoot at the same time! Very slippery but remarkable physical chemistry. \nAs i warmed up from walking i also enjoyed the sound of the rain on my hood.
Walking to the bus for work this morning in the snow. All was quiet with that lovely muffled effect snow brings. There were some animal footprints in the snow - smallish but no idea exactly what, could have been the local fox. Under trees the feel was very different - less snow on the ground but the feeling of being under cover even though the leaves have gone.
Today's dog walk was in the daylight which made a nice change! There was a light fall of snow on the ground already and more falling gently. There were other dog walkers out and about too. We saw some rabbits and squirrels which the dogs enjoyed being excited about - they were on the lead so no harm came to the wildlife!
Travelled home from work by bus and on foot. Watched the sky changin colour from blue to amber and red at the horizon. Some trees with yellow leaves remaining seemed to glow in the failing light. Snow still around nearer to home and the sky a delicate, pale blue by then. Not many animals or birds around.
Heading out early for the dog walk today the sky was clear and the stars really clear to see with a lovely crescent moon. My torch lit up the snow and it glittered as though it was scattered with diamonds. There were 2 different owl calls too!
At work this afternoon i saw some wibter subshine coming through some of the windows near to where i was working. There are also some trees outside and i thought of them through the seasons - bare now but with lots of promise for the future.
From the window at work i can see a snowy hillside with the trees showing strong and black against the white. They look so majestic and i feel connected to that outdoor space
Didnt get out much today and it was wet/cold. I did notice that the coutryside looked atmospheric all shrouded in low clouds abd through the rain!
Today there has been a little snow and as i walked home in the twilight the patches of snow seemed to light up and highlight my surroundings.
Walking to the bus this morning just before dawn and the moon looks amazing. It is a really clear waning crescent but still able to see the hint of the rest of it and a faint halo around the edge. Just to the right is a planet, venus I think, and some of the other bright heavenly bodies elsewhere which I'm not sure of - maybe jupiter? Below these the sky is lightening which gives a pleasing gradient of blue into the deep rich colour around the moon. There are streaky clouds nearer the horizon and the whole effect is very satisfying.
The pond in Endcliffe Park and surrounding streams that flow throughout the park
There's a wide part of pavement where Fulwood Road connects to Broomhill and on that spot there's a patch of grass and some small hedges, it shows how greenery can be worked into even the smallest spaces and breaks up the road which is ugly
Westbourne Street is lined with trees which brightens the streets up and makes Sheffield feel less like a city, it gives Sheffield character and sets it apart from other cities
The tree outside my window is a big evergreen tree, it stands out againsg the bleakness of the uni accomodation and houses many birds (mainly magpies), its lovely
The the town centre theres a nice garden area with benches and a wooden horse sculpture, its a nice patch of nature in the city centre
There are trees lining the entrance of Endcliffe Crescent Flats (uni accommodation) which provide shelter and make the area nicer
The flower beds outside Weston Bank musuem are bright and colourful. They are so well maintained and make the park look lovely
The grass and trees around the pond at Crookes Valley Park are a nice contrast from the usual concrete spaces in other cites
The grass and hedges around the Peace Gardens is lovely, its a nice spot to sit amd have lunch, the fountains are great too
The streelights through a wintry bare tree, causing a halo through the branches, making them look circular.
Noticed berries from one of the street trees whilst walking my daughter to nursery.

I didnt walk down to university today and spent most of the day in my room. The only nature i really experienced was having my window open and hearing the birds and seeing the trees. Apart from that i didnt experience much nature.
I took the same walk down to university as yesterday so many of my thoughts were the same. Although I was a bit distracted and wasnt listening to music or looking at my surroundings as much this morning because i was speaking to someone on the phone. Earlier this morning though, at about 6.30am i woke up and heard birds tweeting outside my window which was really nice, and then I went back to sleep. I am in the arts tower all day so i do get a great view across sheffield, especially western park when im in the computer room and sat at mt favourite computer which is by the window. When it was snowing last week, i saw lots of people outside having fun throwing snowballs at each other.
Again i walked down to uni the usual route past crookes valley park. It was really nice and sunny with clear blue skies which definitely lifted my mood. Whilst walking down conduit i could see across to the hills. Walking down harcourt road i noticed the houses which had well kept front gardens and those that didnt. Even the slightest bit of greenery adds to the front of the house. I also saw quite a few more bulbs in crookes valley park. The park rangers were also there tidying up showing that it is a very managed space.
This morning i walked down to university again and didnt feel as positive about my nature experiences. This may have been because it was raining or because i have a lot of work on and wasnt in the best mood walking down. Walking past crookes valley park didnt lift my mood at all.
I took my usual walk down to uni this morning which passes along Crookes Valley Park. I noticed that the lake was still partly frozen after the heavy snow. I always look out to the park on my walk whilst lisening to my music which provides a nice backdrop.
My bedroom attic window backs onto trees and often I can hear and see birds on the roof or on branches. When it snowed recenty, I open my window and the trees were covered in snow which was nice, a lot nicer than seeing buildings or other houses anyway.
Walking past western park opposite the law building i noticed some bulbs coming up which was a welcome splash of colour
I'm sat at uni and can see misty hills through the window as well as trees boring in the wind
Out of an upper floor window, I noticed some of Sheffieldâ€™s green spaces
Noted snow drops just begining to pop up in the garden today
The intermittent snowflakes falling were quite brave
