The blue flower is a meadow cranesbill, possibly an escapee. The pink is from a species common in local hedgerows well away from gardens.

A fly resting and warming itself in the morning sunlight.

This vividly coloured insect is a common damselfly.

These were all growing by the river Sow near the centre of Stafford.

The trees these were on is growing by the pedestrian footpath next to the Chapel Ash roundabout.

This buttercup has a small fly resting in the flower.

All of these were pictured in the Barrow Hill LNR near Pensnett, Dudley.
