Flowers in a garden I passed on my daily walk: an iris still in the bud, and on another stem already fully open.
#lockdown – canal, mosty morning
Just noticed I’d missed uploading these pictures. The canal near Newbridge a couple of weeks ago. Early morning, with a slight mist rising from the water.
Chicken of the woods on a fallen willow tree
Chicken of the woods fungus growing on a fallen willow tree. This one is unlikely to be picked by would-be gourmets: the tree is on one of the islands on West Park lake.
#lockdown – pigeons, West Park
Tow of the resident West Park pigeons. One resing in the water at the edge of the lake, the other combing short grass for food.
#lockdown – mixed leaves
A selection of plant leaves I noticed when on lockdown exercise walks. Everything from tiny opportunist plants growing from the mortar of brick walls to tall ornamental trees.
Old World Dome Sheetweaver Spider (Neriene montana)
Another tiny spider noticed an photographed thanks to the enforced leisure of the lockdown. This one had a fine web on the inside of the kitchen window.
