Humans can make the world an ugly place, but nature is always here to remind us that beauty still exists.
This photograph, which won the 2026 British Wildlife Awards, captures a toad gliding through the clear waters of a Sheffield lake, beneath the quiet shelter of bare treetops - a small, still moment of grace in an imperfect world.
The weekend is here. Take a moment to slow down and hold close the people and things that matter most.
