Lady’s smock growing hanging over the canal at Compton. It was intertwined with a nettle, also in flower.

Summer is a quiet period for fungi, but I noticed this red cracking bolete growing on the lawn in front of a block of flats.

It eventually got decidedly weathered and nibbled before someone noticed it and kicked it over.

Chicken of the woods fungus growing on one of the cherry trees by the ring road.

There was a larger growth on the same tree two years ago, but even this looks tiny compared to one in East Park recently.

Small white butterfly looking rather like an extension of the flower it is resting on.

Vivid emerald green of a female beautiful demoiselle damselfly, usually harder to spot that the electric blue males.

There can be several visible at once on some sunny summer days by the banks of the Worfe at Worfield.

A mass of poppies growing in the next field to a crop of oilseed rape near Wombourne recently.

The only view I could get was from across the busy A449, so I couldn’t manage a composition which avoided the intrusive telegraph pole and line.
