Primroses

We have a few little clumps of Primroses growing in the scrub woodland beside the Burn.  They have been flowering for a couple of weeks now but the mild weather of late has really helped them along..... 

Fungi

 There is a stack of old birch at the bottom of the orchard, this year there are several large groups of this fungus. Not sure which they are.....

Bracken Fronds

 Bracken fronds in the gloom beside the Burn on a dull afternoon at the Cottage today.

Cherry Leaf

 It's that time of year when the cherry leaves begin to fall in the orchard.

Barley Hill...

Approaching Barley Hill from Kiln Pit Hill, one evening a month or two ago.  The light was wonderful..

Echinacea

We went to the nursery to look for some roses and a few other bits and Bobs for the new beds and trellis in the front garden.  We found these beautiful Echinacea, perhaps next time....

Not just any feather.....

Spotted this beautiful feather from one of the Muscovy Ducks in the field this morning.
