December 2nd, we walked from Lowestoft via Gunton Warren, Corton Woods, and Hopton Cliffs to Gorleston (where we watched a ship leave port). Here are some of the flowers and foliage. Variety diminishes as the year slides into winter. But there are yet some surprises.
The stunning foliage of Rosa rugosa that colonises the dunes

You expect a Tuesday Treat without fungi? It’s the yellow version of the Turkeytail (apt at this season)

Not a wild plant and neither native. But I couldn’t resist taking the photo

And roses in a garden in December, not sheltered but by the sea. That surprised me

And to acknowledge the season… folks around here have excellent humour. Study it closely; it’s cleverly done.

It is indeed… or it was when they were taken. I’m not so sure now. Our trees are bare.

Yea. Everything’s crazy.
I saw a photo posted midweek on Twitter, taken in my old home town of Norwich, of snowdrops. I know they’re usually the first to bloom… but even so, that’s early

But hey, global warming is fake news 😉
Wow… First to bloom… after the new year has started, usually?

Yea. I wasn’t surprised a couple weeks back to see quickthorn in flower. It often is. But daisies are a sign of summer
