pink wood anenomes


this photo shows just how pink the white wood anenome can be.

more tales of the river bank


although this scene looks tranquil the water is foul; it is full of nitrites, nitrates and slurry and anything else the modern agribusiness can flush down the river. The detergents make the water foam up, and it is full of algae. When you look around the only crop anyone cares about is cash, and soon the world will be covered in cash and everything else will be dead. This isn't husbandry, it's murder.

Pheasants eyes

yellow, well, all right, grey wagtail


this pretty little wagtail was down by the river Tamar early this morning. I also saw two dippers flashing past in their very intense way but much too quickly to catch on film. Another day maybe.
