The flowers of the forest is stretching things a little. the flowers of the disused railway is more the reality. It’s as well I owned up as we got sidetracked. not an uncommon experience on a railway line. I was first distracted by this pretty little bridge.
On to the mission no more diversions.
The first is Willowherb and the second is Knapweed, I must admit I thought they were red.
Bladder campion and……………………………………….A dead leaf I took a shine to.
Grounsel seed head and…………………………………… Bindweed.
Tansy and…………………………………………………….Hawkes Beard.
Willowherb again and……………………………………..DK2
Now it’s wait and see time. I wonder how many I got right? One or two would be a result.
Pity the graffiti 'artists' got to the pretty little bridge before you. Am I the only one who finds the angel incongruous? For me the wings are far too long and too angular but it does stand out!
ReplyDeletePretty flowers - I'll take your word for the identifications as I am more useless with flowers than I am with bird identification.
You've got some more nice photos here Adrian ..
ReplyDeleteJohn, was thinking of getting some more shots in better light. Were they any good then the graffiti could be cloned out.
ReplyDeleteYou will not be alone in thinking the Angel is just a touch off. Opinion locally seems to be in favour but not by much. I think it grand and like it better close up.
Petrus thanks, flowers are easy pity I am never 100% sure what to call them.
Oh, what lovelies! I LOVE LOVE LOVE the one of the pups talking to the pony. How nice of them to keep him company for a little while. :o)
ReplyDeleteThe flowers are really great! Your willowherb looks like what we would call fireweed!
my fireweed posts, in case you're curious
Krista, good job it's you poaching visits on my site.........You are welcome and thanks for the comment. Your Fireweed looks like a variety of what we call Burning Bush. What do I know....It's a purple flower a tall one.
ReplyDeleteLovely shot of the dogs and horse Adrian.
ReplyDeleteFlowers are named pretty much right I think; I reckon the last one is Common Mallow.
Keith always nice to see animals getting on.
ReplyDeleteNow there is a result me naming stuff right, ta for the Mallow. Pretty thing, better were it a rae one!
It is flowers today, they are beautiful shots.
ReplyDeleteBob, thanks, precious little round here to take pictures of.
ReplyDeleteThat bindweed looks a lot like what we call wild morning glory over here. It's terrible on a garden but makes a good photo. Great close-ups of the flowers.
ReplyDeleteJolynne, it will be the same stuff, it's hard to eradicate from gardens, snip it off close to the ground.
ReplyDeleteI really can't make my mind up about the Angel. I've yet to see it close up though. Perhaps one day..
