#243 - White Clover

I like the purple clovers but these white ones by the stream today were so perfectly spherical, little round flower balls on their straight green stems.

#242 - Self-heal and Bird's Foot Trefoil

The grass is splendid with Summer, I have been stooping to admire the vivid purple of the self-heal for days and now the Bird's Foot Trefoil has appeared in gorgeous golds and sun-bright yellows.

#241 - Hydrangea

Hydrangeas are bursting from every front garden in the city and we couldn't resist these gorgeous blue and pink flowers which rest like butterflies on the concrete.

#240 - Linden Blossom

More incredible tree flowers that I have never noticed in my life before. 

#239 - Pink Rose Petals

June roses - in three shades of pink.

#238 - Wild Barley

More long, warm summer days... this grass makes me think of lying down in fields feeling the sun hot on your eyelids. In the city it grows in cracks in the pavement and in little scrubby redundant patches of land between shops and houses, but it makes me think of wide open spaces and the sound of the wind in tall grass.

#237 - Knitted Maple Keys

The sun has dried up the fallen maple keys, turning their lime green to a rusty brown. I was idly arranging them in knitting rows while the children played in the sunshine, admiring the way the colours blend together although they are so different.
