These flowers were all on the same small patch of flag iris during the hot spell at the end of May.

A pair of the greylag geese were sitting ignoring everyone walking by; one actually on a path, the other on the bordering short grass.

The bird on the grass was not eating the daisies which surrounded it, but the larger fallen petals of another flower, probably rhododendron.

I like the variations in the red tones in the leaves of these bushes – this one is in West Park.

A snail obligingly crawled down the outside of a window on a rainy day, giving me a chance to get a series of pictures of it as seen from below.

A surprisingly common wayside flower.

The greater celandines I have managed to spot this year all seem to be growing in places which discourage a close approach. These pictures are of plants growing in a clump on a patch of sloping ground with brambles.
