Summer of 2020

Summer of 2020
As we walk past fields of glorious yellow, we see and feel the beauty of our world again. Even the damp fence post seem to reflect the yellows too, but in actual fact, on closer inspection one can see it is in fact yet more of the yellow heads dancing around in the foreground breeze. Now let our eyes and mind meander along to the gate on the right and simply Enjoy!
The yellow flowers are 'Ragwort' (senecio jacobaea), a semi- poisonous nuisance weed –that is very bad for livestock, although it tastes so bad that animals are repelled by it. It thrives with other insects though, so good for nature in general.
HFF. Let’s have a safe and enjoyable weekend.

"bad for livestock, thrives with other insects" -- that's nature for you. The trick is to keep all the elements in natural harmony, as you have done in this shot, HFF & stay safe.

That is a gorgeous shot Herb. I even like the fence. A pity the plant is poisonous and such a nuisance, with it being so pretty! HFF and wish you a good weekend. Rosa.

There is always a balance in nature Rosa - the natur eof Ragwort at least encourages butterflies etc. Glad you enjoyed it.

A lovely rural scene Herb, some farmers use the cinnabar moth larvae to control Ragwort, they like chomping through groundsel, I hope you are having a HFF and that your weekend is good one ( still hope you will be able to id the sea urchin !!!)

Hi Herb

A very nice picture, which I really like

Fantastic yellow colours

Well taken as ever!

I hope your lockdown situation is not proving too restrictive...

Best Wishes, slightly late HFF, a nice weekend, and stay safe!!

H again Pater. As always a pleasure to read your comments here. No, the lockdown is proving no real problem for us two, we can still do our local walks and even go with the car if we want. The only real effect is the lack of visitors to the house in general and my pub-lunch with my matethis coming Tuesday has had to be cancelled as folk cannot meet in pubs or restaurants unless they are immediate family. Since we also do not let anybody into our house -the full afternoon out with him has now gone. Ah well.

Belated HFF, enjoy this hot weekend and keep very safe. Herb

Well, the poor plant is only defending itself from being eaten and even has the common courtesy of "advertising" its toxicity by way of smell and taste! According to wiki, it is the only food source of some pretty spectacular moths and, as your lovely photo shows, it makes for a beautiful sea of yellow in the meadows! A lovely HFF, Herb. belated FF greetings and hope you are enjoying the weekend.

A very belated HFF Herb! Ragwort certainly seems to be growing wild much more than in the past. Farmers used to try and keep it down.
