Acorns developing, just beginning to peek out from the knobbly cups protecting them.

The long profile of the Wrekin on the horizon, seen from a minor road at Ebstree, potatoes growing in the foreground

A selection of various species of hoverflies, resting on leaves or eating at flowers.

A common garden spider in the middle of its web, lit in bright sunlight. This one was tiny, so probably a male.

Young buzzard, possibly a fledgling, flying overhead for the second time the same afternoon. It had returned about an hour after being driven off by mobbing gulls.

Spotted on an early morning stroll around my local allotments, none of them grown for their decorative effects, I imagine.
