Small caterpillar crossing a tarmac pavement, heading in the direcction of a busy main road. From the size, it was some species of small moth: iNaturalist image-matching suggest possibly the brick (Sunira circellaris).
Bright yellow flowers and green leaves, just a few inches from the ground in early spring, lesser celandines.
Spider on a fallen leaf. iNaturalist identifies it as a common fox spider (Alopecosa pulverulenta)

The formerly sticky buds on a horse chestnut tree beginning to open.
Flowers beginning to open on blue alkanets – these growing by a canalside footpath. These tiny blue flowers have a very long flowering season.
