Seen in a pool on one of the Wolverhampton allotments over the weekend. The frogspawn is already so well developed that the beginnings of the tadpole shape can be seen.
Perhaps the water snails are enjoying a glut of food.
Thanks to Barbara and Tony.
The buds of this year’s leaves can also be made out on the out of focus twigs.
A view of the lock on the Staffs & Worcs canal, early on a recent, misty morning.
The trees were only two or three times as far away as the remains of the umbellifer, but they were almost disappearing in the post-dawn mist by the Staffs & Worcs canal.
One of the most popular areas at Baggeridge, only a short walk from the car park.
The chimney of the brickworks can be seen peeping through the trees in the background.
Flowers on a fruit tree – perhaps a plum.
