Wolves Wild

A couple of disconsolate looking sheep grazing in a roadside field on the Clee Hills. Possibly they had realized just how much rain was heading their way soon.

Great burnet flowers, red globules looking a little like raspberries, with a yellow ring where the pollen was being produced. These were in one of the wildflower meadows at Sandwell Valley Country Park.

Young swans searching for food in a quiet side pool of the River Teme by the Breadwalk at Ludlow. The parents will have been somewhere nearby, but I couldn’t see any sign of them.

Yellows with reds and hints of pinks in these hollyhock flowers in a front garden.

Ringlet butterfly at rest as it warms in the morning sunshine – probably a male.

Pair of snails mating at the edge of a footpath.
