Golden Samphire

Spotted on the mudflats in Hayling Island. The young shoots, leaves and flower buds of the Golden Samphire are edible and are often used in salads. Throughout Europe, it used to be pickled or cooked, most often used as a relish.

Shut that Door..!!

I wish people wouldn't leave doors open...............it gets very draughty (or in US English ("drafty"), also lets in flies and wasps.

Milton Common, Portsmouth (+PiP)

Taken during a walk yesterday morning (Tuesday). It turned out to be the hottest day of the year and so I only stayed out for an hour or so. Please check out the PiP for a look at some of the wildflowers on the common.

Flowers in my Lawn

Well, they were in the lawn until we cut the grass recently, and yes, including the forget-me-nots which are currently trying to take over my garden! Have a lovely day folks.

Uppark House and Gardens

27 May 2022 21 31 126
Another image from Uppark House and Gardens (Natural Trust)...........this was taken with my (oldish) Samsung S9+ mobile phone, which I don't generally use for photography, but on this occasion I had a long lens on my camera and couldn't be bothered to change it for a wide angle. I'm pleasantly surprised by the quality, especially when viewed large.

Uppark House and Copper Beech

26 May 2022 24 24 135
Taken during quick visit to Uppark House and Gardens (National Trust) a couple of weeks ago. The house always looks impressive, but I was so taken by this lovely Copper Beech tree surrounded by Cow Parsley, that I had to walk out and get this photo. I think viewing large is the way to go. Thanks for looking!

Taken in Stansted Forest, part of the South Downs National Park. The PiPs show some more bluebells and my first butterfly of the year - a lovely Peacock, which was also exploring the bluebells. Best viewed large if you have time. Thanks for looking :-)

West Dean Gardens

My first reall trip out for a while, nothing too strenuous, just a slow walk around West Dean Gardens in West Sussex for an hour or so. We were lucky with the weather and I got a stack of photos too. Please view large, on black. Thank you.

Mining Bee

This tiny little bee (around 1cm long), along with many others, was busily collecting pollen among the wildflowers around Skokholm Lighthouse. I got a few photos of them during my lunch break.
