the life is pretty wild rn, ngl

a gatekeeper butterfly is drinking nectar from a purple thistle flower, with another flower out of focus to the front and green undergrowth to the rear

a pale slowworm curled asleep in a c shape atop some composting leaves

mixed wood and grassland in strong sunlight with wildflowers growing in the next open space

quick trip, slow recovery

hedge woundwort flower stem which has tiny and purplish flowers, some lighter pink geranium x oxonian flowers and sun dappled leaves in the background

bright white blackberry flowers sit among green leaves with a common grasshopper resting on a leaf before making a bunch more noise

lots of fresh vegetative growth on mixed scrubland with woodland a few hundred metres back, blue skies with wispy clouds are above

two farmcats, one calico and one black, are looking at you with vague annoyance because you didn't bring food with you. they are sat on a table by a wrecked caravan in amongst lots of green plant growth. They are both at least 12 years old, and doted upon

another fine day

a small bufftail bumblebee visiting a fresh white bramble flower, next to two bright, fresh green growth leaves, with a dried up, spent flower beneath

A small bee visiting a yellow birds foot trefoil flower

a holly blue butterfly, light blue with tiny black spots, is visiting some purple vetch flowers that are budding next to the narrow leaves

a bee or parasitic wasp of some kind clambering around the inside of a white dogrose flower, with bright yellow stamens, greenery is visible in the background

absolute treat to make it to the acres today

a purple/pink oxonian x geranium flower, which has five petals and prominent purple lines, several green leaves are in the background as well as other flowers

two dogrose flowers, light pink with large clusters of yellow stamens inside, with some ferocious looking thorns just out of focus in the background. A spent flower lurks below, ready to turn to a rosehip

a common spotted orchid coming into flower from the bottom up, a conical arrangement of little blooms of white and pink, with grass in the background and hints of yellow flowers

a large cluster of many hawthorn flowers, each with circular white petals with many pink tipped stamens pointing out all over. A very happy beetle is having lunch, unsure of the species.

oh hey things are bad, take a break and look at this instead for a bit, the apocalypse isn't going anywhere

A cluster of bright white five petalled flowers of a pear tree, with bright green oval shaped leaves. A tiny ladybird is nestled in the cup of one of them

Japanese cherry blossoms, vibrant pink buds that become paler flowers, with green to brownish red leaves bursting out behind

Tiny little purple flowers of ground Ivy growing low from the ground, with little parasol like leaves out to the sides

Bright pink to red buds of an apple tree, with the same oval shaped leaves as the pears, many other buds visible out of focus in the background

in-between crashes and chores and childcare, occasional flashes of beauty

Plum blossoms, bright white with five petals and verdant green buds on brown/grey branches, a cluster of perhaps a dozen with many more out of focus in the background

View of a clearing in woodland, slowly waking up for spring and becoming very green in parts, a path is visible winding up to a bank on the other side, with denser woodland in the background

Blue skies with fluffy white clouds over a section of green grass, with dense scrub and then woodland towards the horizon. Shadows of the trees behind the camera show on the grass

Snakes head fritillary flowers, bright and dark purple with a vivid checkerboard pattern are growing from new growth grass, a dozen or more are to be seen

sat next to the pond, which takes most of the view, with poplar trees and hedgerow in view both reflected and on the horizon, with a peek of blue sky. A pair of black boots with purple laces is resting at the bottom of the picture, slacking off and not working

Blue skies over green grass with scrubland and trees in the background, still mostly brown from winter, but a few white blooms are evident

A bumblebee merrily eating from a cluster of yellow honeyberry flowers, growing from fresh green leaves

Two ladybirds are clambering down some thorny bramble, next to some violently green olive leaves

it's all coming to life again

A bumblebee resting in the top cup of an acorn, surrounded by brown and decaying oak leaves

Cherry plum blossom, a five petalled white flower with yellow tipped stamens, with emerging leaves to the sides

Yellow to brown bracket type fungus growing out of a very mossy fallen log

A nearly full composting barrel with brown leaves and twigs in it, having a bucket of harvested rain water poured over the top to retain moisture

whole country seems a bit greener right now

a large, sleepy and very friendly bumblebee, considering their options while sat in a brown oak leaf. there are several greenshoots of grass poking through around the leaf

White five petalled flowers of a cherry plum, largely bare branch with a few green leaves starting to show, bramble in the background

Some bracket type fungus growing on a mossy fallen tree, brown/red topped with a yellow underside, a slightly dirty knife blade in the background

Some old fallen trees now covered in moss and the high side of a ditch in some woodland, with a few invasive sedge plants in the foreground, and a dead but somehow still standing tree covered in ivy, awaiting the collapse

spring is really close a good, lazy visit

blackthorn blossoms, which have six white petals and yellow tipped stamens, with a few buds, on an otherwise bare branch, gloomy, overcast woodland contrasts the bright new flowers

A water filled ditch with an earthen bridge over it, with woodland in the background- bare trees with deer grazed grass with many brown leaves covering, grey skies

A fallen branch with bright green moss and many small brown bracket type fungus growths- look like potato crisps growing out of it

A 10cm air rifle target as seen through telescopic sight at 10 metres distance, mounted on a pallet in some woodland

got lucky and battled time and health to make a visit and prepare for winter a bit, checking my timelapse camera efforts and stacking some pallets to make sure they don't rot on the ground over winter
