Views looking downstream from on the Severn bridge at Worcester earlier this month, the cathedral and nearby buildings in silhouette reflected in the water of the river.

Some of the scarlet elf cup fungi growing on fallen wood in Compton Rough. This winter seems to have been a good one for hte fungus, which has been growing in several new spots in the Smestow Valley Nature Reserve.

Close-ups on individual flowers on winter-flowering cherry trees.

Common mazegill, a bracket fungus which is indeed quite common. This one was growing on a branch which had been brought down by the strong winter winds, landing so that the underside of the fungus was showing. So it was easy to spot the wavy maze-like corrugations of the spore-carrying lower surface which give it its name.

Views looking downstream from on or near the Severn bridge at Worcester (and one of the bridge) earlier this month, before and shortly after dawn, lights reflected in the water of the river.

Early spring, and fruit trees begin to flower. This blossom was on a plum, one of the trees growing on the edge of Compton Rough.
