Always Whole, Never Complete
Angie Rogers Artist GET INSPIRED Connecting you to Landscape, Nature and The Wild. Tireless Nature Hello there friends, I’m sending this now as I will be away for 2 weeks and not back until early May. I will be able to see and reply to any messages you send though.

Always she is whole and yet never is she complete. All the time...
Minor Mysteries In March
Angie Rogers Artist GET INSPIRED Connecting you to Landscape, Nature and The Wild. Minor Mysteries in March Hello there, March is almost over and I’m wondering if you noticed anything unusual in nature these past few weeks? This month is one of those transitional times where anomalies tend to crop up. No longer winter but not feeling quite fully spring. Some things are noticeably early and some things are late. But we expect these variations because Nature isn’t a machine and the seasons are...
Graphite Days
Angie Rogers Artist GET INSPIRED Connecting you to Landscape, Nature and The Wild. Glimmering light in a misty valley Hello there, writing this for you and not wanting to precipitate feelings of gloom, has made me focus on what’s been beautiful this wet February, like these Ivy berries with raindrop jewels, so thanks for that. Angie Rogers photograph. Ivy berries at Hardcastle Crags. I think of February here as being the graphite month. Can you see why? So often the days are grey, light is...
Time Travelling To The 1970s
Angie Rogers Artist GET INSPIRED Connecting you to Landscape, Nature and The Wild. The Early Year Angie Rogers photograph. Hebden Bridge in early January 2026, looking towards Mytholm Steeps. Hello friends, wishing you happy times and good fortune in 2026. We certainly need both in the early year. It's a time to be kind to yourself and not get involved in harsh regimes of self-improvement. It's a time for reflection and contemplating all the things you hope to do when energy levels are...
Invincible Momentum
Angie Rogers Artist GET INSPIRED Connecting you to Landscape, Nature and The Wild. Invincible Momentum Hello friends, Do you know that often quoted line from Albert Camus “In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer.”? It is a beautiful idea of inner strength as a season. In recent days of almost overwhelming gloom and long, dark evenings I’ve looked for my invincible summer but haven’t been able to convince myself it’s there. Here in December Pennine Yorkshire...
Still A Glow In The Embers
Angie Rogers Artist GET INSPIRED Connecting you to Landscape, Nature and The Wild. Still A Glow In The Embers. Hello friends, Thomas Hood has a lot to answer for with all his Nos in that poem about November*. I prefer to think of it as Yesvember because yes, there are good things about November, you just have to notice them. Maybe you tend to view November as the absolute end of Autumnal colour? Yet here in the Yorkshire Pennines there remains vibrancy within the fading landscape, like the...
Tiny Town - Celebrating A Special Place
Angie Rogers Artist GET INSPIRED Connecting you to Landscape, Nature and The Wild. Supernature Hello friends and Autumnal greetings from Calderdale. I am sending this to you a bit earlier in the month than usual. There are things in nature that seem almost too bright and extraordinary to be real. When you watch super high definition film of tropical coral reefs on screen for example or hummingbirds feeding on a flower. That’s how I feel about Fly Agaric toadstools. Angie Rogers photograph,...
Songs Of The Woodland
Angie Rogers Artist GET INSPIRED Connecting you to Landscape, Nature and The Wild. Songs Of The Woodland. Wishing you a very good day from Hebden Bridge and Calderdale where change is in the air. Here the woods are singing both the song of late summer and the song of early autumn. It’s a kind of in-between time. The leaf-mould is damp and fungi scent the glades with their mysterious perfumes. Foliage is still mainly green but acorns and conkers are strewn in huge abundance on the forest...
Metamorphosis With Peacock Wings
Angie Rogers Artist GET INSPIRED Connecting you to Landscape, Nature and The Wild. An Altercation With A Clapper Bridge. Hello from the hills and valleys of Calderdale. A wily old clapper bridge tried to kill me early in August, trolls not required. Simple, ancient water crossings made of stone slabs are commonly found on the moorlands of Britain and there are a couple near Hebden Bridge. The one I nearly fell out with/off of, is a 17th century structure over Colden Clough, and part of the...
Dappled July
Angie Rogers Artist GET INSPIRED Connecting you to Landscape, Nature and The Wild. Dappled July Warm greetings from the upper Calder Valley. It’s been quite a hot month hasn’t it? Dappled woodland is a great environment for summer walks don’t you think? The cooling shade of the leaf canopy with the feeling of moist green life, but not dark; pools of sparkling light illuminating the way. I’ve been on a few mini adventures exploring new to me woodland paths on sides of local valleys I’ve never...
