Couple of garden volunteers

 Noticed this poppy plant had appeared near the back of the shed.

 

Then when putting the bin out I spotted this tiny fern growing in the gap between the slabs

Bramble flowers

Usually the flowers of bramble (Blackberry) are white, but often I see ones with a pink or purplish tinge, like these.

Hogweed

 Some snaps of Hogweed  (Heracleum sphondylium) from a walk with the dog. 

Buttercup

 Growing amongst Wood Avens 

Couple of snails

 Spotted while out on the walk the other day.

Some wild flower spots

 Taken while out on a walk.

High altitude clouds

 Looking straight up on a walk to the shop.

The thin whispy clouds are Cirrocumulus. There's also some irridesence visible where the sun shows in the shot.

Cirrus clouds

 Couple of shots of these high, thin wispy clouds.

May's Flower

 A spot of Hawthorn blossom in a Privet hedge.

Cowslips

 These were found growing in a verge by the side of a footpath near a main road. I'm used to seeing them growing in the wild!

The name Cowslip is said to derive from Cow's slop because it is often found growing near cow dung.

Wildflower Spots

 Spotted while walking the dog. 

Wild Garlic (Allium ursinum) and Garlic Mustard (Alliaria petiolata) 

Phone shots

Fluffy clouds

 Nice clusters of cumulus clouds against a hot blue sky

Spring Stars

 Lesser Celandine in mono, taken with my phone.

Spring doing its thing

 

A few phone shots taken in April '22

Sunset Approaches

 A shot over the fields, stood under a maple.

Some indoor macros

 Just playing with my macro stuff, trying to work out a good portable light set up using my flash on a ball and socket head on a bracket. A bit loose but doable. The images are a bit underexposed though prior to editing with Snapseed on my phone.
