Views approaching the aqueduct carrying the Smestow Brook over the canal, taken a little later on the wintry morning that this post.

Views in both directions along the canal at Newbridge, early one morning last week with bright sun shining through mist after overnight frost.

The autumn leaves of this smoke bush (cotinus) have featured in earlier posts when they were enhanced by the water left by overnight rain.

This is how they looked with an edging of early-morning frost.

Fly agaric mushrooms which have popped up yards from the ring road / Chapel Ash roundabout in late autumn for several years.

West Park is planted so that there is some interest at any time of year. Several mahonia shrubs flower as autumn gives way to winter.

Skeletal remains of umbellifer seed heads serving as scaffolding for spider’s webs, all outlined with rime on a frosty morning. These were by the infant Penk at Penk Rise.
