Spring on the Southwell Trail - Part 9 (April 2018)

More wildflowers from the Southwell Trail.

Common Field Speedwell

Honesty - I am happy that the first two images are annual honesty (Lunaria annua) but the third I am less certain about. The flower has a deeper colour and the leaves look slightly different in shape.

Kerria Japonica 'Pleniflora'- if I am correct with the identification this is a garden flower growing in the wild

Red Dead Nettle

Grape Hyacinth

Bluebells - Spanish variety I believe:

Garlic Mustard

Stitchwort

Forget-me-not

Cowslip

Spring Beauty

Oak Catkins 

Silver Birch Catkins

Nottinghamshire - Photography Week 21 (2016)

Taking a break from the Cornwall coast, I visited a number of familiar locations around Nottingham.

Dorket Head

The valley between Dorket Head and Woodborough has provided a number of excellent images over the years. This is one of my favourite views:

Crop rotation means there is always something different to capture. This year's crop is wheat:

Wildflowers near Calverton

These are a few of the wildflowers captured on the reclaimed spoil heap near Calverton:

Common Vetch:

Bird's Foot Trefoil

White Campion

Forget-me-not

Stitchwort on the path near Dorket Head

Not totally sure but I think this flower might be 'Honesty'

Church/Rock Cemetery

There is plenty of Victorian architecture in the city of Nottingham including Rock Cemetery. It is built on a sandstone hill and is renowned for a number of caves and some striking gravestones and statues (1)

Robin Hood Hill

Images starting from Greaves Lane towards Robin Hood Hill and Oxton:
