Look at this handsome monster Brown Trout in a glorious sun spun pool of the River Wissey, the biggest of many big #fish I met there Friday before last. King of the River. King of a favourite river.

Day 18 of #30DaysWild

#DriveByBotany of #PavementPlants

Met friend for tea & errands.
On the way home, I drive up a short stretch of suburban road with an abundance of pavement plants, some of which are native. I saw:

Feverfew
Evening Primrose
(on the sunny side)

Convolvulus
Field convolvulus *
Campanula poscharskyana
Hawkbit spp
(on the shady side)

* Instead of roughly even radial stripes of pale pink & white, this was mostly a vivid sugar pink.

Day 17 of #30DaysWild

Did a load of laundry & hung it up outside, feeling the breeze on my skin & listening to it rustle the leaves on the trees.

Checked on my raised bed: the rosemary has grown, the chives are looking less dead. Society garlic has 2 flower buds :)

Day 16 of #30DaysWild

Drove the same route of 10 miles to visit & help Mum as previous #DriveByBotany.

In addition to those previously listed:

Ragwort
Green alkanet
Chicory (a favourite) (Cichorium intybus)
Buttercup spp
Ladies' Bedstraw (Galium verum)
Toadflax aka Butter & Eggs
True Valerian
... best of all, I drove along an avenue of linden trees in flower and the scent was heavenly:)
