Stokesay Castle with a near-perfect reflection seen in the pool. The settlement was originally called Stoke but later became Stoke de Say - abbreviated to Stokesay - after the Norman de Say family, who were tenants of the manor.  #Shropshire

A spectacular sunset on the Long Mynd, with a blaze of colour reflected in a pool near Pole Cottage. It's taken not far from Pole Bank, the highest point on the Long Mynd. It's thought the name may come from the shepherd’s pole that is said to have marked the summit.  #Shropshire

A dreamy Bridgnorth photographed not long after sunrise, with early morning mist stealing across the river. This was my view from High Rock, with St Mary’s Church dominating the town's skyline. On the horizon is Titterstone Clee, about 12 miles away as the crow flies.  #Shropshire

Stokesay Castle glowing in the evening sun. I wanted the medieval walls to stand out in the landscape, so I waited an hour for clouds to throw the surrounding fields into shadow. As I stood there I could hear church bells, birdsong and the distant bleating of sheep.  #Shropshire

A golden glow on the summit of Titterstone Clee as the sun rises over Wolverhampton and the Black Country. This is the only named hill in England to appear on the Mappa Mundi, which is the medieval map of the world housed in Hereford Cathedral.  #Shropshire

A night to remember - here’s one more shot of the #NorthernLights  shining over the Stiperstones on Friday. It was taken looking south-west and not north, which was what I had expected.  #Shropshire #Auroraborealis #aurora

A pair of lambs amid the bluebells - a picture just waiting to be taken! I was walking through Spring Coppice, near Badger, and I thought the lambs would run away the moment they saw me, but they posed for a few minutes before skipping away into the sunshine.  #Shropshire

Here’s a picture of another of our completed jigsaws sent in by Lin Smith - with Tiggs the cat giving it his seal of approval! It shows summer flowers in Low Town,  #Bridgnorth , with St Mary’s Church standing out against a bright blue sky. bit.ly/ShropJigsaws  #Shropshire

Bluebells and wild garlic in a #Shropshire woodland. The shot I had in mind called for diffused light, with a thin layer of cloud overhead. Direct sunlight would have resulted in more contrast and shadows, and that wasn’t what I was looking for.

A walk in the woods - masses of wild garlic border a winding footpath near Coalport Bridge in the Severn Gorge. This is Sutton Wood, a 70-acre site that I have only just discovered after driving past on many occasions with no idea what was just metres from the road.  #Shropshire

If you bought our 2024 Shropshire Hills Calendar this is the scene that greeted you on this first morning in May! It's the view from Caradoc towards the Lawley and the Wrekin. All our 2025  #Shropshire  calendars are on sale in local shops or on our website: bitly.com/ShropCalendars

A beautiful evening on Lyth Hill, looking across a patchwork of fields towards the Stretton Hills. On the horizon are, from left, the Lawley, Willstone Hill, Caer Caradoc and Hazler Hill. Don’t be fooled by the sunshine, though - there was a definite chill on the air!  #Shropshire

I set out to photograph bluebells on the Wrekin - but I ended up filming a herd of deer instead! There must have been about 70 grazing in the sunshine near the Wrekin Golf Club. They ignored me for a good while before running off and disappearing into the woods.  #Shropshire

Have you seen our  #Shropshire  notebooks - practical but beautiful, and a must-have for any home or office. They are A5 in size and contain 140 ruled pages interspersed with 24 of our Shropshire images. There are 10 different covers to choose from. bit.ly/46scOEw

For this trip to the Devil's Chair on the Stiperstones the strength of the wind had to be experienced to be believed. According to legend, the devil sits here on the longest night of the year and holds an audience with witches and evil spirits.  #Shropshire

Hail, rain and a bitingly cold wind - I endured them all on Cothercott Hill as I waited for the sun to come out. It was worth it in the end for this shot of Earl’s Hill, with Westcott Hill in the foreground and trees on Huglith Hill standing out against Lawn Hill.  #Shropshire

A step back in time - here are the medieval ruins of Wenlock Priory in Much Wenlock. This is a favourite viewpoint which I discovered some time ago. I have already got this shot in autumn and winter and now, having ticked spring, I need to repeat it in summer!  #Shropshire
