Wolves Wild

Bramble (blackberry) leaves turn an interesting palette of colours at this time of year without falling off the plant. An edging of frost added to the effect here.

Yews, like many trees and bushes, have only had a tiny crop of berries this year. This picture is of one of the yews in West Park.

I think I noticed this fly agaric mushroom just a few hours after it had first appeared above ground.

It was growing on a grassy island in the middle of a road.

A cormorant was fishing in the Severn at Bridgnorth while I was crossing the old bridge recently. The current was sweeping it closer, until it decided it was too close to humans, and took off to head back upstream.

I only had time for this one picture, and the camera was on the wrong setting so the autofocus couldn’t cope with a fast-moving subject. But I liked the effect anyway.

Next year’s flower buds already forming on one of the West Park rhododendron bushes by the middle of November.

Bridgnorth quay and St Leonard’s church, Bridgnorth from across the Severn, with the houses along the quay reflected in the river.

A mass of old man’s beard hanging over the cliff separating High Town and Low Town at Bridgnorth. It was a cold day, so the plant has a heavy dusting of frost. The steam in the foreground was from Low Town central heating.

Another mushroom of the species “unidentified”.

These came from a front garden almost directly across the road from those which featured in the previous post.

Broad Street canal basin partly iced over last week. The Chubb Building looms through the slight mist in the background.

Buddleia showing the plant’s ability to grow just about anywhere. This one has seeded itself in the gatepost by the Lodge in East Park.
