These were all growing by the river Sow near the centre of Stafford.

The trees these were on is growing by the pedestrian footpath next to the Chapel Ash roundabout.

This buttercup has a small fly resting in the flower.

All of these were pictured in the Barrow Hill LNR near Pensnett, Dudley.

The flowers are beginning to go. This clump was one of many in the Cotwell End LNR, between Sedgley and the Straits.

The edge of the stream through the reserve is in the background. I guess the black pebbles being washed by the water are diorite.
