A miscellany of the photos I took at Whitlingham on 4th June 2025. Enjoy
Pretty wayside blossoms of the blackberry bramble 🔼
A bee enjoying the pollen on offer 🔼🔽 and a shield bug. At this point I’m thinking insects will be the ‘order ‘of the day
More wayside flowers 🔼 here, white campion and blue speedwell and here 🔽 the humble wild rose
Not forgetting the delicate flowers of Forget-me-not 🔼
Late May/Early June sees every lake and riverside painted yellow with this wild iris, the yellow flag 🔼⏫⏬🔽
Less common but equally enchanting, brooklime is a kind of speedwell 🔼🔽 and of course there is bittersweet
Hope you enjoyed.
I’ve loads more photos taken that day, but I’m saving them for those weeks when I haven’t been able to get out with the camera












Lovely pictures.

The only one also native in Alaska is the wild rose, and we have a bumper crop of them in bloom right now!

I love wild roses. We have several species of them. The pink seem to flower first and then the white
