Beyond The Garden,..glengarry23.

No offence taken Michael,..i was surprised seeing this plant in the meadows,..i presumed it to be Aquilegia,..be it a weird looking one,..they don't grow anywhere else i walk so nice to know we have something new in the area,..thanks for the heads up

 

Another plant i am unsure about,..looks like a species of Ragworth,..i know there are a few and this is approx 90cm high = 3ft.














Flying dog.

 

Foxy Molly looks like she's enjoying herself ! there's nothing like a bit of exercise
I love your views ...

I'm glad you've made a new discovery lol Ragged Robin is quite common here though.
The yellow flower is probably a type of Hawksbeard, there are lots of different species and they are difficult to tell apart.
Ragwort has sort of daisy-like flowers. It's poisonous. Someone I know had a horse which died after eating hay containing ragwort. They were very upset.

 

Oh dear, another grey day. I hope any rain keeps clear of your home!

 

Thanks Michael,..She thrives on those long walks,..the days when we have torrents or cloudbursts of rain like this week she mopes around the house,..so do i

Oh i do give up trying to name some wild plants as we can have Meadow-Marsh and Dry Sandy versions of the same plant,..blooms are alike but they vary in height,..oh i took home a cutting of the Ragged Robin

 

Almost a flood outside,..it was like a tropical downpour on two days ,..so heavy my Delphiniums bent over,..thankfully didn't break any.

 

A dull day thankfully no rain.

The river has really dropped.

 

Is that a wild Buddleia Philip? It is lovely.

 

Hi Victoria,..it is indeed,..when the local Authority were building up soil in that area to act as a water barrier there must have being seeds or roots in the soil,..there are three Buddleia along this area,..i was there again this morning and took another image of the same bush,..though from another direction.




One may not be able to see the guy standing on the far shore,..with his dog,..however its where there is a break in the grass bank,..this is my usual spot to take a break and let Foxy Molly dunk her bum in the water,..to the extreme right and beyond the first line of trees i would have walked for 10 mins before reaching there,..walking along that second line of trees is alongside the canal as i tend to post images of.

 

Morning Philip and Foxy Molly.
It goes without saying that I love all your posts and pics ...but today I especially love pic no.5!! It's so atmospheric that it literally took my breathe away!

Please don't stop posting.....ever!!!!

 

Ooh, I see a pretty blue sky. That Buddleia has a lovely shape.

 

Goodnight Upsydaisy,..as usual my time is the later hours of the day ,..i promise i will do everything in my power to keep posting ,..thank you for liking the images and in particular No 5,..i think its the image of calmness that gets us,..not a breeze and the reflection,..hopefully we will have more of these and i can capture them.

 

Hi Victoria,..thankfully the sky was blue,..though dull today,..however its promising to be warm and dry the next few days

 

Heat.....Heat,..my legs hardly managed to get me home today as it was so hot,..it started off at 0200 as C28,.......0300 as C30,......0400 as C32,..in the six counties C32 was recorded as the hottest ever.
