#wolfkettler — Public Fediverse posts

Feeling flattered that Wiltshire Wildlife have asked me to be on the judging panel for their annual photography competition.
Can’t wait to see all those beautiful and no doubt stunning images.

In the midst of a Hydrangea macrophylla ‘Mariesii Lilacina’ grows a self-sown Achillea, maybe Yarrow, hard to know and very difficult to spot. Their flowers are absolutely identical in colour. Even their flower heads are similar in shape. Is this a case of perfect colour harmony or plant intelligence using colour as camouflage?

The blue flowering Salvia nemorosa 'Ostfriesland' are doing particularly well this year, their flowers have already lasted a long time. I love the combination of the Salvia with the fluffy Stipa tenuissima ‘Ponytail'.

Had to stop to take a photo when I saw this today:
Outside someone’s house a Derek Trotter (Del Boy, Only Fools And Horses) style Reliant Regal Supervan three-wheeler. Looking out the back window a female blowup doll. The owner probably thought it was funny but it does make him look rather like a blowup sex doll dealer. (No, I am not making this into a hash tag.)
Only Fools And Horses, for those who don’t know, was a British television sitcom, which ran from 1981 to 2003.

My #Mediterranean #sourdough #bread. I am experimenting with bread scoring.
This bread is inspired by the #Greek #Horiatiko - #Χωριάτικο #ψωμί - and also southern #Italian breads, such as the #Pane #pugliese.
There seems to be a geographic theme here, southern #Adriatic and northern #Ionian - and it is a beautiful part of the world.

Glorious early #October #morning back-lit by the sun, which is already so low in the sky at this time of the year. The #seedheads will stay over the winter.
