Cygnets with an adult swan (the other parent was just out of shot) on the lake at West Park. The cygnets looked like they were only a couple of days old when these pictures were taken.

The ice house at Himley Hall, the entrance now booked up, at the base of a sandstone cliff in the grounds of the hall.

Some of the bees visiting the flowers on a patch of blue alkanet in a garden, one one of the rare sunny mornings recently.

Pale wisteria, not white as I thought when I saw it from a distance. Growing all over the from of a house halfway up the Cartway in Bridgnorth.

Sedges flowering by the side of the canal. The flowers almost, but not quite, a colour match for the black and gold of the Wolves strip.

Come the autumn, this will (if it’s a female) have grown into one of the lardger and commoner of the spiders seen around in gardens and outhouses, a cross spider or garden spider. In its juvenile springtime version, it was only a couple of millimeters across.
