Learning to draw; I'm thinking in terms of a future painting, but the scales will be very different! #SundaySketch #Art

I've not been anywhere to see wildflowers this week, but I did see these. Common milkthistle and field thistle. #WIldflowerHour

One I really didn't expect to see in the wild in the UK! On a little bit of unloved/waste land, this is Datura stramonium, aka Angel's Trumpet, Thornapple or Jimsonweed; it's quite the hallucinogen. Growing wild behind it were thistles and a tomato plant(!)

I'm planning to create a series of pop-up photo galleries. How long should I leave each one up for? I am planning to leave a couple of months between each one.

A fortnight?

A month?

A new species for me, reflexed amaranth, growing in a wheat field margin. Every day is a school day! #WildflowerHour

Hey, trans fam... The weekend has gone really quickly! A trip to London yesterday, to the Hunterian Museum, and a recovery day today (the penalty for ageing!). Just living a normal life like everyone else.

What have Others been doing?

Other people had more sense than to travel today. My Other Half wasn't feeling up to the day, and I had a whole train carriage nearly to myself! #Railway #Travel

It's properly wet in the Big City this morning! I have been forced- forced, I tell you - to take shelter in a coffee shop.

It's International Non-Binary Day today! Sending my love to all the Non-Binary folk I know - and to those I don't know as well.

It was properly breezy today, so getting decent pics of wildflowers was dawned nigh impossible. I was really pleased to see this viper's bugloss - it's my favourite wildflower. The pink flowers change to a glorious blue thanks to some nifty biochemistry! #WildflowerHour #Bloomscrolling
