The crop of these ornamental rosehips is one of many which has done well this year.

These were growing on one of the bushes around Perton Pool, and were still wet after heavy overnight rain.

Female cross spider: previously featured when her web was in a more disturbed location.

She is getting bigger as egg-laying time approaches. In view of the current hysteria in the press, she is harmless, except to the small flies which get trapped in her web.

Unidentified fungus growing in the stump of a tree in a garden right by the pavement on Compton Road.

These were the best views I could get, leaning over the garden wall.

Cock with iridescent feathers which was spending a morning resting in a corner of Penkridge churchyard, in a spot backing on to Church Farm.

Tranquil-looking pool at Tong.

Hard to imagine from the picture that the busy A41 is right behind the hedge, with a constant stream of traffic, much of it heavy lorries.

Bracket fungus growing on one of the trees on the edge of Gospel Oak Common. It was possibly Lenzites betulina.
