The profusion of catkins on this hazel looked like a waterfall or pouring rain.

This huge rock was brought to Wolverhampton from north Wales by glaciers during the Ice Age. It was discovered in Oak Street, and put up in West Park in 1881. The face pointing into the prevailing wind and rain is now covered in lichen.

I liked the mix of strong colour in these blackberry leaves in mid-February.

The soft, fluffy-looking catkins beginning to come out in mid-February.

Lichen growing on the quarry face of the former sandstone quarry behind Wightwick Mill lock.

A view further along the bough brought down by a gale already featured in the post yesterday.
