A miscellany of the photos I took at Whitlingham on 4th June 2025. Enjoy
Pretty wayside blossoms of the blackberry bramble ๐ผ
A bee enjoying the pollen on offer ๐ผ๐ฝ and a shield bug. At this point I’m thinking insects will be the ‘order ‘of the day
More wayside flowersย ๐ผ here, white campion and blue speedwell and here ๐ฝ the humble wild rose
Not forgetting the delicate flowers of Forget-me-not ๐ผ
Late May/Early June sees every lake and riverside painted yellow with this wild iris, the yellow flagย ๐ผโซโฌ๐ฝ
Less common but equally enchanting, brooklime is a kind of speedwell ๐ผ๐ฝ 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
