A distant view looking towards Wolverhampton city centre. the Mander Centre office building silhouetted by a sky lit by the rising sun, a fortnight ago.

An unidentified species of mushrooms, but evidently one which was popular with the local fauna.

They were hard to spot under the vegetation at the bottom of the hedge by the towpath near Castlecroft.

I was surprised to notice two umbellifers still flowering in the middle of November. This plant, with the striking pink rim to the flowers, was the one whose frozen leaf has already featured in a post
a couple of days ago.

The plants were in the same field, on the same frosty morning, as the old umbellifer, and the umbellifer with ripening seeds, which featured in today’s earlier posts.

Umbellifer seeds just beginning to ripen. Picture taken just a few minutes before the frosted umbellifer in the previous post.

The dried remains of the head of one of the summer’s umbellifers, seen on a frosty morning a month ago.

Just about everything has had a coating of frost on recent mornings, including this fern growing on a grassy bank.
