Tree #lichens. Boreham, near Chelmsford, Essex, UK.

Everyone was enjoying the asters today.

Fabulous trip to Gdańsk, northern Poland. Surrounded by fascinating museums, beautiful churches, great food and sandy beaches at Sopot and Brzezno.

Morning Glory flower (Ipomoea purpurea), self-sown.

Bee enjoying the courgette flower on the #allotment early this morning.

Delighted to find this handsome elephant hawk-moth caterpillar in the garden.

It’s a busy time in the garden.

Really enjoyed today’s visit to Beeleigh Abbey, Maldon, Essex. So much to see in the beautiful gardens (and delicious cakes in the tea room!).

A saucerful of sunshine.

Lichens along the promenade at Frinton-on-Sea, Essex.

The Naze Tower in glorious sunshine today. Walton-on-the-Naze, Essex.

A grey day, but the crocuses are perking things up with some cheery colour.

Wonderful memories of my recent trips to #Gdańsk and #Sopot, #Poland. Thank you to all the local people I encountered, who were most kind and encouraging when I tried to converse in #Polish.
