Looking over from the Railway Walk into Hawthorn Wood on a wintry morning. The sunbeams breaking through the trees show the slight mist, which can form in the Smestow valley even when it is clear nearby.

Views of a swan reflected in the gentle ripples of the canal at Castlecroft, distorted as if seen in a fairground mirror. One straightforward view of (I think) the same swan is included for comparison.

Candle snuff fungus growing in a set of clumps on the stump of a tree.

Pair of mallards swimming off along the canal on a misty morning.

Alder catkins on a sunny morning. From a distance they made the tree look purple.

A tiny nuthatch on the trunk of a tree in Bantock Park recently.
