A frog keeping as much of its body as possible under water to keep cool during the warm spell last week.

The heather flowers were beginning to go over last week, but were still making a show on Highgate Common.

A lone bumble bee was prospecting for nectar.

The paler flowers below were in a small clump of heather on Toposcope Hill in Baggeridge Park.

The conifers behind the mill are on the edge of the Forestry Commission wood the Million, near Kinver.

A common bracket fungus, which grows on dead wood – here a tree which had been felled.

View from a bridle path across the valley of the river Stour to Kinver church on the first ridge over the village.

The slightest breeze was enough to add an arty blur to this close-up of autumnal leaves.
