Early September in the garden

Morning Glories are flowering

Tomatillos are just ready to cook

Jalapinos are excellent

Agarics at Walberswick

A couple of nice Fly Agarics in the woodlands at Walberswick nature reserve

Cattle in the mist

Cattle on the Haddiscoe marshes. Cropped to remove the powerlines and because I rather like the line of cattle...

Priory Windpump, St Olaves

Dusk on the footpath from the suspension bridge. Possibly one of the more over photographed wind pumps in the area.

Norwich Castle

Picnic in the grounds of the castle last weekend

Angles Way past the lower end of Flixton Decoy

We all went for a walk on the Angles Way, this time past the lower end of Flixton Decoy.

Horses on the skyline of a "big" Waveney valley-edge hill.

Cattle, a very mixed bunch, on the marshes

And butterflies

and blackberries

and bridges.

This is one of the two dams at the lower end of Flixton Decoy, they support a lake over half a mile long.

A lovely place, Suffolk.

Great Yarmouth Beach

Sea Holly on the scrubland between the power station and the Pleasure Beach, yesterday.

There was an onshore breeze and some interesting weather on the way, so the beach was deserted.

Never the less, much fun was had with sand castles.

Another Haddiscoe sunset

Comma Butterfly

Comma on the apple tree. Had to wait quite a long time with the camera in hand for it to open its wings!

Peacock on the Buddleia

Silhouette of a Peacock on the Buddleia

More normal view

Red Admiral in camouflage

Beautifully camouflaged Red Admiral

More routine view

Another cloudscape

Lowestoft Angles Way

We have no windows at work. When slogging through my to-do pinboard becomes a little too much I go outside to see if the sun is shining. Sometimes it is! Then Angles Way beckons for an hour in my lunch break.

A small brown, possibly a Meadow Brown

And a Tortoise Shell

Nice hoverfly

Just a Campion but came out nicely

On the Angles Way

Wolsey's Creek

We went for a walk at Wolsey's Creek, half flood, moderate tide, bright and breezy, just needed jackets.

This is the view across Bulcamp Marshes towards Bulcamp House and Whitehouse Farm. It's really a level tidal mudflat rather than a saltmarsh.

Looking over the entrance to Wolsey's Creek, same view. There is supposed to be a footpath down the far mudbank but I have to say the mud looks rather soft!

Steps down to the hide of the freshwater marshes. This creek used to be the main channel of Wolsey's creek until it found a much more straight route to the Blyth. Well silted up now.

Suffolk WildlifeTrust grazes Konig Ponies on the freshmarsh inside the sea wall.

Another Red Admiral

On the apple tree

And while the camera is out, the Mallows are in bloom, lovely flowers, fast growing screening.

Recumbent bike, home made!

Spotted this wood/resin recumbent tricycle on the roof of a van on Lowestoft high street, very interesting!

The whole frame appears to be plywood with a tissue/resin fairing.

Feral Kittens

Melanie watching the litter of at least six feral kittens living in the bramble patch in the corner of the paddock alongside our house. Mother is still about, looking a bit moth-eaten. They're about 5 weeks old and you can tell where they are by the occasional sneeze...

Peter

Cranesbill

I could see a tiny pink flower in amongst the carpet of Biting Stonecrop over the fence from the the playground at the village hall. The maximum telephoto on the Olympus shows it to be a Cranesbill, very dwarfed by living on dry sand in a disused gravel pit...

Wainford Mill

The launch point below the main sluice at Wainford Mill

Peter

Pyramidal Orchids

The Pyramidal orchids by the A146 just outside of Beccles, on an uncut grass verge

They are just coming in to flower and are in exquisite condition

There is quite a group of them, not particularly densely packed
