This afternoon I took my camera for a stroll along the Rivelin Valley. I thought this picture might make up for those disgusting close-ups of rodent droppings!
This is such an exciting time of year to walk in the woods. The spring flowers are appearing one by one as the weather gets warmer: celandines, wood anemones, golden saxifrage, wood sorrel and, today, dog violet. At the same time, the woods are filling with birdsong as the summer migrants begin to trickle in: chiffchaffs, willow warblers and blackcaps.
Of course, birdsong and flowers are all about sex: the frantic race to reproduce now that spring is here!
Fantastic photo with amazing detail :-)
