Wolves Wild

Some blackberries are already ripe or almost ripe (above). Many more are on their way.

These honeysuckle flowers have come completely.

And these (above and below) different stages before they are fully developed.

One of the several species of ragwort. I didn’t hang around long enough to try to identify the species more precisely.

Another large frog making itself comfortable in a makeshift bird bath.

A bracket fungus, growing from tree trunks. In my opinion, it takes a lot of effort to see a resemblance to a saddle.

A Small White butterfly and a bumblebee feeding.

Larger than its more common relative. In my opinion, the flowers look more delicate.

This series of pictures is of a Green Veined White butterfly feeding.

The classic weed of derelict ground.

Fungi can occur at any time of year, depending on species, but the summer is a relatively lean time.

This specimen was visible over a garden wall, but couldn’t be approached closely enough for the precise species to be identified.

The morning was cool and damp. so this bee seemed unconcerned as I got in near enough for this close-up.

Photo taken only a couple of yards away from yesterday’s slug, and at the same time.
