Wolves Wild

Lichen, and moss, growing on the remains of a preaching cross (above) and gravestones in Badger churchyard.

A vivid dawn in early February.

Lichens in Pattingham churchyard.

Highgate Common looking stark a month ago.

These gravestones were pictured on the same day as those in Enville churchyard, posted on Wednesday.

Snowdrop on roadside rough ground near Smestow in early February.

Pictured last month in Beckbury churchyard.

These gravestones, with their well-established lichens, are in Enville churchyard.

The plane tree (above) and horse chestnut (below) stand next to one another on Newbidge Crescent.

The lichen is growing on the chestnut only from about the level where the trunk divides into boughs.

This heron continued on the lookout for fish and apparently undisturbed when I paused and while I was getting out my camera. Just before I started to raise the camera to my eye, the bird was off.
