Hawthorn Hips

The new hawthorn hips….

…are transforming the hawthorn bushes after their raggedy look as their flowers came to an end.

Hogweed Buds

Even the buds of the hogweed plant…

…are really beautiful!

Beautiful Flowers

How can such beautiful flowers…

…have such a horrible name – Hogweed!

Walk Between the Trees

Walking between the trees on this footbridge took every ounce of courage that I could find!

I was so relieved when I got to the end of it!

Stairs to the Sky

These stairs to the sky, made yesterday’s railway bridge look tiny!

And what made it worse was that I had to come down them – my worst nightmare. But I made it!

Bridge Over the Railway

Mastering this bridge over the railway…

…made me feel quite proud of myself. I suffer from vertigo, and struggle with anything high that is not enclosed!

Lake in the Rain

Looking across the lake in the rain…

…can you see the rain drops on the water?

Across the Weir

Looking across the weir…

…such peaceful view!

Wild Orchids

Wild orchids…

…at least I think that’s what they are. Do you know differently?

Weir Barrier

This weir barrier has signs warning river users to keep to the middle of the water channel to avoid danger.

I love the contrast in colour between the man-made structure and the surrounding nature.
