I thought today might be a challenge, as I had meetings morning and afternoon, and a fair amount of train travel.

I was lucky to have time to look about me whilst in Salisbury this afternoon, and found some very beautiful trees:

Incredible bark textures:

And a bank of daisies growing at a very interesting angle!

But I didn’t feel that I had really engaged properly until I arrived home and spotted a shawl of wild roses on the exit from the station:

And then, looking to see whether the little egret might still be in residence, I spotted a female mallard settling down in the gravel by the stream, with her wings covering something that was clearly wriggling wildly. She was very protective:

And there was definitely something there:

And eventually, and fuzzy in the extreme, at least one little one appeared:

So I made my way home with a spring in my step yet again. There is plenty of wildness in the suburbs!
