Today I went for a short stroll along the towpath...it was much shorter that I wanted it to be. I went out with one dead battery and one with onlu a sip of power in it......so not many pics.
But......But, I did take some pics of insects...and a humbug coloured snail. Have a look at these. Pictures in the style of Davemac. 1) Thistle do...a thistle on the canal bank. Offering a resting place to a visiting insect. 2) thistle reprise. More bugs. 3) A raspberry basking in the sun. 4) Nature's Diamonds...sparkling in the sun. 5) A damselfly having a drink from one of the droplets...I could hear it slurping...no manners, these damselflies. 6) could be mistaken for a humbug - not scared of these...they never move that fast unless being thrown by an angry gardener. I like the colours and the texture of the shell. 7) this plant looked like cow parsley...but was a mauve shade. Sue will be along in a minute to tell me what it is(I hope). 8) thistle with two visitors...see I told you I was getting brave. my courage was screwed up into a tight ball and I had my running shoes on. |

Re: Today in pictures
Margaret love the pics especially bugs on thistle in no2. Think insects in last pic are hoverflies.
As for the cow parsley type flower - they are v difficult to tell apart without a good look at the leaves and flower structure. The plant in your pic appears to have spots on the lower stem - could be hemlock! but can't swear to it. Have been trying to find a decent pic on the net of one with a blotchy stem but doesn't appear to be one. Hemlock is often very tall so might not be that but otherwise can't tell you what it might be! |
Re: Today in pictures
Well you could have had some pics of the Lancaster canal today... had a hospital appt, finished early, time to kill, sat by the canal in town in bright sunshine and a lovely warm breeze. And I didn't take the camera! :(
Lots of things to photograph - swans and cygnets, a lacy wooden bridge, lots of boats, plants - all in my mind's eye, sorry that's all! Then a wander through town, lots more things sprang to the eye, of course! have to go again tomorrow - it'll probably be raining! :idunno: |
Re: Today in pictures
it does look like water hemlock(or the pics that google has of the plant)......the stem was speckled and although you say Hemlock is a tall plant, this wasn't particularly tall, but then I did take from the position of the canal bank...so my perspective of it was looking down on it...not a good position to judge the height.
