Red flowers on a background of green leaves of some garden poppies. These are the same plants seen in bright sonlight and under an overcast sky.

Male broad-bodied chaser dragonfly pausing from patrolling its territory over a small pool in Baggeridge Country Park.

Sweet-pea flowers from plants hanging through the fence of the Castle Grounds, Bridgnorth.

Removing the spreading undergrowth on the lower slopes of Toposcope Hill in Baggeridge Copuhtry Park, a powerful ground clearing force: a small flock of Bagot goats in an enclosure surrounded by an electric fence.

Dragonfly on patrol along a stretch of the canal at Compton. One of the hawker species, but moving too fast and too irregularly for any clear views. There was one along the same stretch of water about the same time last year.

Banded demoiselle damselfly resting in the hawthorn hedge overlooking the canal at Castlecroft, seen in silhouette.
