This teazel is probably cultivated, but it harmonised in colour with the reed bed in the background. I couldn’t resist the picture as I enjoyed the view in an excellent pub’s outside drinking area.

I took this as a grab shot of the moss growing on a garden wall, its fruiting bodies lit up by the sun. It wasn’t until I looked at the picture that I noticed the tiny mushroom.

This tree was outlined against the sky, growing on the bank separating the Exeter Ship Canal from the estuary of the river Exe which can just about be seen in the background.

This blackbird appeared to be spreading its wings to catch the sun.

This post, and like those for today and the next three days, are not from in or around Wolverhampton. Instead, they were taken on a short break in south Devon at the end of February. These violets were already developed in a sheltered spot.

The scruffy feathers of this feeding swan mark it out as a young one.
