just teas(el)ing

Another local find. This year I aim to publish a post each month focusing on what flora / fauna I find ‘in my neighbourhood’ so this is just a taster.

Nice shot, Jude. Worked well in ‘widescreen format’ too.
Best wishes, Pete. x

I like the idea of showcasing with photos the natural world in your area. Great shot!

Looking forward to the titles too, if this one is anything to go by.

I’ve never seen them growing in flocks. Wonderful.

I like teasels 🙂 Coming here, I was fascinated to discover that there are white ones as well as the purple ones I was used to on the Somerset Levels. I’ll be interested to see what else you find to show us…

I think the only place I ever ran into the word teasel was in English kids’ books. I wonder what we call them.

    Can’t recall seeing them in flower. What colour? 🙂

      Purple I guess.

      I can be sensible too, you know. 😦

      Conspiring against a person in their absence, she says, chastisingly…. We were down in Leeds with Mick erecting a wonky shelf and leaving us in the dark while he fitted a new light. Men! 🙂 🙂

      I hadn’t realised you were in Leeds. Shelves not Mick’s thing then? 🙂

      His DIY skills in general are a bit haphazard but better than James, whose are non existent. He made the shelf because they needed more storage at the top of a tall cupboard, and it’s a tiny bit uneven. Better than no shelf 🙂 🙂 Or paying someone. It was just an afternoon visit. Lauren was at work and I played Dinosaur Dominos with the little falla.

  Ah, well, the treat has yet to come – at the end of the month. If I can get out to take some photos that is! Still blowing an icy wind, but at least it is sunny ans dry 🙂

    Yes, same here and I’ve frozen on the beach two days in a row now 🙂

      Gave up on the beach, just picking salad from the garden left me with frozen hands! But we did have a short stroll down the lane 🙂 Really nice to see the sun.
