Out for a walk with the Sony Mavica and the disk is full. Fortunately, I have my phone to hand for these lovely flowers from the side of the road.

Curly ferns, 24 April 2022

Out wandering I came across these unusual feathery leved plants. I believe they are some kind of wild fennel.

On a quiet walk came across a bumble bee cleaning itself on a flower.
