Possibly a layered cup fungus (Peziza varia, also sometimes called cellar cup fungus) growing in a leaky shed.

A maple, just as the leaves were starting to open. The tree was growing by the road and the canal at Newbridge. As I stood on the bridge, the branch was at eye level.

The Two Greens pub in Tettenhall (formerly the Rock) has good views looking towards Wolverhampton. Here, through a gap in the trees, Compton Park with the Wolves indoor training ground, before the land rises behind.

It’s been a cold and damp spring so far, not exactly insect-friendly conditions. Here’s one ladybird which braved the weather, taking a rest on a spiky thistle.

Bluebells growing in a front garden, with the first signs of the flowers beginning to develop, and just peeping through the leaves. They did get bluer later.

A breeze was making the plant sway, so I didn’t try to get any nearer than enough to take a medium close-up picture of of this flowering current (ribes) bush. Even so, there’s a little bit of movement blur.
