Wolves Wild

Rosebay willowherb flowers beginning to open – those lower on the stem coming out first.

This stalk of grass was one of the survivors of a recent mowing, which helped it stand out more than usual.

This was one of several tiny pansies flowering by the side of a minor road round the corner from the entrance to the Pendeford Mill Nature Reserve.

Lenses formed by water drops remaining on leaves after rain have been rather common this summer.

This ladybird had chosen to land on the one thistle flower which had already gone over, perhaps because that was the one with smaller insects for it to eat.

This vivid garden flower is indeed related to poppies.
