The roots of this yew in West Park seemed to twist around each other. The tree looks ancient, but is unlikely to be older than the park (founded 1881).

Gorse flowers, breezy day

Gorse flowers, breezy day

Flowers on a gorse bush by the Birmingham Canal towpath. The breeze that day meant the branch was almost always on the move.

Footprints in light snow (squirrel?)

Footprints in light snow (squirrel?)

Taken only a few yards from the pictures in the previous post, this image shows footprints from a set which were also leading to the shore of the frozen West Park lake. Possibly made by one of the resident squirrels, but this pair cayght my eye because they looked like they had been made by impossibly tiny human feet.
