A blustery bright Sunday afternoon with a new walk in mind mapped out on a scrappy piece of paper...
a lesson learned indeed
 |
the magnificent Oak |
 |
we were hopelessly lost by this point but the beauty of these swans and their cygnets serenely sailing down the stream were a welcome distraction-until they started hissing madly at us as they approached the bridge |
 |
going one way... |
 |
half an hour later coming back...(.the bug box in Frankie's right hand containing a lone ladybird had lost it's appeal by now) |
 |
I actually went in for a shot of the Vetch and it wasn't until my lens was on top of it that I noticed the other guests |
 |
a rare shot where Frankie actually managed to keep her finger still ( and not lose the caterpillar) long enough for me to focus.. |
I have come across some fungi new to me in the past fortnight but I'm unable to identify it.Have hopefully found a forum which might be able to help- until then I shall continue to sulk that nothing in my reference books comes anywhere close to helping....
