Another of these mushrooms growing right by the ring road near to Chapel Ash roundabout.

The bush this was on is growing just inside Chillington wharf.

I spotted this in early December, but thought it might be a good picture to reflect the hangovers many people will have today.

I presume the balloons had been used in some celebration in or outside the flats which are just visible beyond the old warehouse in the picture above.

That picture has (obviously) been subjected to more elaborate processing than is usual with those posted to this blog.

“When gorse is out of blossom, kissing’s out of fashion” – in the Wikipedia wording of the old saw. This gorse was flowering earlier this month next to Chillington wharf (yesterday’s post).

Yet another small mushroom growing through moss.

By the Birmingham canal near where it runs under Bilston Road. Formerly a lively point of trans-shipment of goods between rail and canal, this site is now owned by the German railway (DB), who don’t seem to be making any use of it.
