Another Brick in the Wall

Have often wondered why the bricks on the neighboring garden were out as soon as they were replaced. Clearly someone’s favourite seat. Not pictured – more urban foxes sitting right above.

I love when the snowdrop clumps breakthrough, it’s a sign spring is on its way as the Galanthus give us one last burst of white, like snow on the ground.

Strike A Pose

This Grey Heron is one of several who frequent the pond in Chiswick House and Gardens (I thought there was only one until I saw them all together!) There is often one standing on the bridge in the morning waiting for a photoshoot, so thought I’d oblige.

We recently installed a new small pond in the allotment. I’m delighted to find that a family of frogs has moved in! Today I saw this lovely frog chilling. (David Shaked)
