Went out for a longer walk today, almost 6 000 steps. Brilliant sunshine so no need for a jacket today. Here are some of the plants I saw along the way.



A pretty bindweed. There were impressive clusters of bindweed on some dead tree branches but they were too far off the path into the undergrowth to get a good picture using my mobile, I should take my Canon with me more often.

An evening primrose

Life will find a way even growing on rocks



Lush vegetation beside the ditch between the path and the field

And here is one of my favourite plants, pineapple mayweed

And it is the time for fungi as well

Lovely pictures of your home landscaping. I wish I could visit with you

@turbineman40 You are welcome to visit! None of those plants are part of any home landscaping. They are just wild plants found beside the path as I walked just outside the little town I live in.

@ninalanyon oh that's great. I will just have to find a place to go walking. The street in front of my house is to busy to walk along. There is no sidewalk here.

Beautiful scenes.

@Carazaa What?

@ninalanyon
but that will risk revealing where I am; I wonder if anyone nearby is on SW.
Just making a comment in response to you being "risky".
ninalanyon · 70-79, TVIP
@Carazaa The risk I had in mind was that someone I know might see the pictures and recognize who I am. It never occurred to me that anyone might do me physical harm as a result, that seems so unlikely as to not be worth thinking about.

Strictly speaking, in statistical jargon terms it's actually the hazard I suppose, the risk is the probability that the hazard actually occurs. The risk is very low I think, and the hazard is more that it would complicate my life rather than that I would come to physical harm.

Just started on the boxes of things to post for sale online. I use the last two digits of the id number that the site generates to tell me which box to store it in so I can find it again. On the third item I couldn't find the box for it and then realized that there are four boxes of things that have already been posted but of course haven't been reactivated. That's very annoying, I have even more to do than I thought!

So beautiful, thank you so much!

@Carazaa Glad you like it. But I think that most people live surrounded by beauty that they simply ignore or don't notice. I think of the opening lines to Blake's Auguries of Innocence:
To see a World in a Grain of Sand
And a Heaven in a Wild Flower
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand
And Eternity in an hour

@ninalanyon very true!
