Two different types of daddy-long-legs (cranefly), insects which sometimes fly inside during the warmer months.

These both came inside on the same day.

Tiny pale flowers contrasting with the dark red of the leaves of this striking garden bush.

White bull calf under the shade of a chestnut tree on a sunny morning.

Poppies growing densely at the edge of a field of oilseed rape by the traffic lights at Himley.

For the past couple of years, there were hardly any poppies flowering in the field. Three years ago it was different.

Pair of tiny ladybirds, possibly two-spot ladybirds, near the edge of a nettle leaf. I’m guessing that their activity indicates that one of them is male.

Southern marsh orchids growing in Baggeridge Country Park earlier this month.

The area where they were growing had seemed to be dry last year, but the ground was indeed soggy this time around.
