This has been a long time coming, I’m not sure that it’s worth posting but I have to start again somewhere. I hope to be back on a regular basis but I have decided to post less frequently than before. We will see how it goes.
I would like to thank you all for your comments and enquiries. I’ve had a troubled and hard few months, I can now see the light at the end of the tunnel and fervently hope it is the tunnel mouth and not a train heading my way.
The past week I have been out with the camera and have a trio of images to share.
A Meadow Brown butterfly feeding on bramble flowers. I have had one fine day since I finished work. The same hot and clement weather also produced a first for me……………………………..
A Small Skipper………they stay still for a fraction of a second. Though not a big or bright butterfly it was a grand find.
This mornings wander again in sunshine had me bump into a wonderful plant.
A Giant Hogweed. I recognise these monsters are not to everyone's taste. If you come into contact with their stems they either send one blind or ones naughty bits shrivel up and drop off……reminds me of the dire consequences of masturbation propagated by a choir master years ago. Despite these negative properties I love the things, this one was well over two metres tall. Like Angelica, and Hogweed they are related to the carrot.
Before I go I’ll leave you with this…………………………………………..
And this…………………………………
The latter is a really nifty bit of Photoshoping, I wish I could credit it but also wish I’d produced it.
All the best and I hope to be back in a day or so.
