The standard mushroom of the supermarket shelves. Someone had knocked one over to give a clear view of the gills, below.

I couldn’t decide which picture I preferred, so here is a selection.

This mushroom is rare, and doesn’t have an English name. It was growing on wood chipping mulch.

Gulls – but what species of gull?

The husk of the seed heads: the seeds themselves have been blown away or eaten.  Two different thistle species still show their various forms.

The butterfly was very cooperative in concentrating on feeding on flowers at eye level. These side views give clear views of its antennae and proboscis.
