old sea salts


all along the roads you can see clumps of this pretty little white flower, scurvy grass. It is a salt loving plant and is usually found by the coast but it has spread along the verges in Cornwall where salt is spread on the roads during the winter. In the background is Linkinhorne Church, and Bodmin moor by Caradon radio mast. I am not in this picture. Posted by Picasa

wood-sorrel


the woods by the river here are full of wood sorrel, superficially like wood anenomes but with clover like leaves, and smaller flowers. These flowers have many religious associations and are sometimes called alleluia. This specimen is growing on a dead moss covered tree trunk, a typical spot for it. Posted by Picasa

Harriet logging in



Harriet bit off more than she could chew. She is showing signs of developing a bite worse than her bark, hard though that is to imagine. Posted by Picasa
