Growing in abundance along a path at the wetlands.
Slept long today - after a stressful week. After Sainsbury's delivered, we had smoked salmon and scrambled eggs in the garden and warm sunshine with T and B. They left after to take mum to the market and Waterlow Park and go on home. Hopefully they've got back in time for the football.
I did a short cycle to the wetlands where I ate my first blackberries and chilled with a bath followed by pasta in the garden, still mild. Football starting soon.
What I like most of your images, is the way you document. It's a love letter to anyone in the future that didn't get a chance to know you. I hope you do a book for ancestors. Fav.
A lovely shot - fav! Tansy has a particular significance in York, since the banks of the River Ouse are home to the tansy beetle, and until quite recently its only home in the UK. Some tansy beetles have now been relocated to other areas. Recent years have seen planting of more tansy plants to spread the range of the tansy beetle.
That's really pretty, fav. And first blackberries? It seems a bit early for those? I've seen some on my walks but so far they still seem fairly under-ripe!
