Oops that was my son's photo I'd stored from another day to compare, mine yesterday was darker. Sorry.

Love all the seaside photos... one day... one day! For those interested in fungi, I spotted this one today. Any idea why it has a burgundy hue ?

Could it be a purplepore bracket, do you think, GQ? They seem to take various forms and colourations.

Ellianne we also have a toad shaped rock which is a loved local landmark - the Toad’s Mouth near Hathersage. I’m deeply disappointed to see that some twit appears to have seen fit to carve an eye on it. What is it with people?

First Fritillary out

The lovely clean up squad have been out this week. No litter on our canal bank today.

I knew I could depend on you Greyduster, I’ve looked it up and I think you’re right! Love those Fritillary blooms Lisa. I have one solitary one in a shady spot in the garden and every spring when it flowers I tell myself I’ll plant some more for next year. Of course I then forget!

Here’s a chap I spotted on a walk this week, He’s taking social distancing to a whole new level!

More Fritillaries coming out now, grannyqueenie. There were some white ones last year, but no sign this year so far.

These were mine in late March last year. They are nowhere near this stage this year; still in the green.

Gq he looks like someone’s grandad whose wandered off and got lost. I hope someone’s out looking for him!?

Fritillary envy here!
greyduster the old boy tells me that there’s been some ranting and objections from local drivers. Apparently it’s a distracting image when picked up by the headlights at night!

Lovely Fritillaries, Greyduster - Monty Don would be proud of you (ha ha!)

Ouch!?

Bloomin' lovely!

A Spring door wreath

What a lovely idea!

I was going to make one, but then one of my daughters bought me this one - I added some pussy willow. If I find other bits on walks - like feathers - I shall add those too.

Lisagran, that’s lovely. Great idea too.

A bright spot in the garden yesterday!

Anemone blanda? Always very pretty Gq.

Violets appearing in the garden now

Don't the deep colours all photograph well?

Someone's playing a merry tune in the sunshine!
