looking up at the underside of giant hogweed, which is often covered with snails (but not while it's so dry). It's a huge umbellifer with a sap that burns in sunlight, so something to be wary of, but is often covered with insects. Round here there, before it was cut at the wrong time of year, you can tell whether it has been eaten by muntjac or fallow deer from the height of the remaining stalks.
Tagged for the Make 30 photos challenge of snail's eye view and the theme of a different perspective. Stormy looking sky here too.
Thank you for looking and any comments or favs, I prefer to spend time looking at your pictures rather than thanking you individually below.
The snails view ensures that this plant lives up to its name. Looks like a number of palm trees tadiating from a big pole! Always good to get a new angle on something.
The snail's eye view really emphasises the size of these plants - fav!
We have seen over recent years the gradual spread downstream of these plants on the River Ouse, although if they are reported to the council they are soon removed.
