365 Days Wild - Day 173 (100 Days Happy - Day 60) by roachling

365 Days Wild - Day 173 (100 Days Happy - Day 60)

Today was a repeat of yesterday... another early start, another drive through Stoke to get to my training venue and another day stuck indoors, followed by battling the Friday evening traffic and getting home after dark again. I'm so glad it's Friday (and the Stoke training is over!)

Again, my wild time occurred on the hotel car park this morning (it's better than nothing!). I watched some magpies flying around in the trees above, admired the tree branches and chose a parking space next to a beautiful ivy covered tree, just so I could sit in the car for a few minutes before going in to admire it!

I appreciated having a slightly later start this morning which gave me a few minutes 'wild time' before the day began :)


Lovely capture.

I don't know what this is, but it is exactly what I have in my yard. It overgrew an old cherry tree and now has small black berries and blossoms most of the year, so it attracts the bees and robins and hummingbirds in their turn and it is almost as large as a room of my house by now, I'm going to go snap a picture for todays picture so you can see

@pandorasecho This is ivy - a very good (and vital!) source of nectar for insects here in autumn and early winter, when the flowers are gone.

This is a nice shot. Some days we just have to do the things that pay the bills. Those are the days I wish I could retire!

Love the soft light in this, and the fact that it's full of my favourite colour.

not crazy about ivy (the ground variety is unbelievably invasive in these parts), but this is quite beautiful.

@francoise this is just 'normal' ivy - not an invasive one!

Lovely capture. The ivy is coming into it's own now and standing out more. Enjoy the weekend!
