Some late year flowers. The first is tucked in a road gutter. The other could be a grass flower but was good later summer colour. #wildflowers #changingseasons

Scientist and history geek, I am active in my local church singing in the choir and ringing the bells. I love seeing the seasons change. As a family we re-enact some weekends.
It is cooler now, but everything is heading for the end of summer, though the nettles are coming back from their cut the other week. #changingseasons #wildflowers
Another hot week but the nettles that were cut down the other week are now starting to regrow. After this hot summer I think autumn cannot come too soon. #changingseasoms #wildflowers
As the seasons change there are now no flowers but the fruits are swelling nicely, foraging season is upon us. #changingseasons #wildfruit
The weather is hot and we have had next to no rain for weeks where the grass is open to the sun all is dry and parched in the shade there is still green to be seen. #changingseasons
A very warm day. The ash near my stand has drooped over as we have had very little rain for weeks. #changingseasons #wildflowers
With the verges cut this week there are very few flowers about so we had to go hunting for the few to be found #wildflowers #changingseasons
This week someone from the local wildlife wardens has cut the grass and verges, so a lot of the nettles have gone and the path can be seen again. #changingseasons #wildflowers
I was explaining to my family how to spot wild carrots. It has a dense multi-flower head, with what looks like a bug in the middle. As we walked, the nearby field was full of smelly yellow hogweed. #wildflowers #changingseasons
Another hot day is slightly cooled by a breeze. The path is still cool under the trees and the flowers are going to seed. #changingseasons #wildflowers
A lovely sunny warm July afternoon. Not so many wild flowers but starting to grow fruit for autumn abundance #changingseasons #wildflowers
Some lovely summer flowers visited lots of butterflies and grasshoppers which are difficult to catch on film. The wild carrots are starting to flower alongside clover, bindweed and bramble, which will be juicy blackberries later in the year #changingseasons #wildflowers
After a very hot week the path is looking remarkably well. There are some flowers amongst the nettles. A nice shady path. #changingseasons #wildflowers
There are some unusual flowers around, the apples are coming along nicely. It is going to be hot this week we will see what survives, not sure it will be me #changingseasons #wildflowers
Went out on pilgrimage this morning to our daughter church some wonderful wild flowers on the way. #changingseasons #wildflowers
A solstice picture of the path on a warm day. The trees are catching the sun nicely. #changingseasons #wildflowers
On the one dry day for a week the path is looking well grown if a little battered #changingseasons #wildflowers
After a very hot May week the nettles are looking raged by the gate, many of them are about to flower. #changingseasons #wildflowers
The trees are fully in leaf now, the elder is in flower and the wild roses in bloom. Watch out for the web caterpillars who are devouring the leaves; they will recover #wildflowers #woodland #changingseasons
The hottest day of the year so far,still warm in the woods even at 8pm. Everything is in leaf now and the vegetation is looking battered after people have been through. #changingseasons #wildflowers
The daisies and green alkanet are really putting on a show amongst the grasses, and the cow parsley is all a froth under the trees #wildflowers #changingseasons
Sunny afternoon with everything growing so well. There were a couple of lads further up the path building bike ramps #changinseasons#wildflowers
The hawthorn and cow parsley are at their blousy best and lots of small flowers are showing their heads through the grass #wildflowers #changingseasons
Mixed weather this weekend. The path is barely discernable as the nettles grow tall. The oak leaves are now well on their way and the elderflower is starting to flower. #changingseasons
The apple trees are in blossom now and the hawthorn is well on its way some in bud and some with blossom. The grass and nettles are getting tall but the speedwell is peeping through. #changingseasons #wildflowers #blossom
A bit overcast today, but still warm. The beech trees are in their lime green leaves and the oak leaves are pushing out. #changingseasons #wildflowers
A lovely spring day with the apple and hawthorn blossoms starting to come out. The clematis is flowering too. #changingseasons #wildflowers #sprimgflowers
Today the sun is shining (mostly) a proper spring day. The beech tree is starting to come into leaf. #changingseasons #spring #wildflowers
A mixed weather day today, hence the lateness. The nettles are busy growing up. The dandelions and buttercups are flowering in the meadow and the blossoms are coming out on the trees #changingseasons #wildflowers
