Camomile, flowers – on the plant used for herbal tea, some soaps and some cosmetics.

Cattle paddling in Sutton Park’s Longmore Pool a few days ago. A good way to keep cooler in the current hot weather.

Pair of swans with growing cygnets, in a field at Wightwick, then further along the canal towards Castlecroft.

The bright yellow of flag iris flowers: one fully open, a bud, and a patch of the plants, all on the pond on Penn Common.

Orchids growing in a field near the Swan Pool in the Sandwell Valley Country Park recently. The field is protected by a robust fence, which will hopefully discourage anyone from picking the flowers.

Large red damselfly, probably a male, resting as it warms itself in mid-morning sunlight in one of the marshy areas of Baggeridge Country Park.
