Another decent enough day so another walk.

 

Well, you know me and fungi!  :o)







A reflection in Ercall Pool:



Rot creates art!



Damp loving mosses on birch logs:



These are Leicestershire longwools. They're a rare breed these days but one of our local farmers is into rare breed sheep:



The snowdrops are out!



What would farmers do without binder twine?



The Welsh Hills from Spout Lane. The tall mountain there is Caer Caradoc:



Hedge clipping creates its own art:



Gorse in bloom:



The lane to White Cottage Plantation:



Little Hill with  signs that things are beginning to green up:



And things are coming on here too:



And on a wall on the way home, Spring appears to have sprung. Not a native-  I think it may be Japanese quince.

turlough: three rich red orchid flowers ((other) flora)

Lovely photos! Your spring is much further advanced than ours, but then we've had quite a cold spell here for the last couple of weeks.

The red flowered shrub is definitely a Japanese quince (Chaenomeles japonica). You see them quite often in older gardens here. I love the intense colour of their flowers, it's such a contrast to most of the other spring-flowering shrubs. (I suspect the white-flowered shrub is a sloe. It's definitely not mock orange because their flowers are much larger and they don't flower until June.)

I'll know for sure when I see that one fruit!

Just what I use to say! Though I often have trouble remembering to actually check the fruit :-)
