Snowdrops, and purple crocuses somewhat further away, taken a few days ago.

This hawthorn, growing by the side of the Staffs & Worcs canal near Compton, is shaped as formerly part of a waterside hedge.

This appears to be a ball of moss growing on a hawthorn bush. Is it a birds’ nest?

The profusion of catkins on this hazel looked like a waterfall or pouring rain.

This huge rock was brought to Wolverhampton from north Wales by glaciers during the Ice Age. It was discovered in Oak Street, and put up in West Park in 1881. The face pointing into the prevailing wind and rain is now covered in lichen.
