From the left: Round Hill, Castle Hill, and Brightwell Barrow. The name Wittenham Clumps actually refers only to the wooded tops of Round Hill and Castle Hill (the latter an Iron Age hill fort with banks and ditches), and should more correctly be called the Sinodun Hills. Over 200,000 visitors a year enjoy climbing the hills with their spectacular views of what is an otherwise remarkably flat landscape.
Rhodanthe chlorocephala is a native Australian daisy belonging to the family Asteraceae. It is widely grown due to its attractive flowers and foliage, and because it’s hardy, adaptable and provides a good, fast ground cover. The flowers are long-lived and dry well. Rhodanthe chlorocephala subspecies rosea is the most widely grown subspecies and is commonly known as “Pink and White Everlasting”, “Rosy Sunray”, “Pink Paper-daisy” and “Rosy Everlasting”. It grows naturally in the south of Western Australia extending into South Australia. Rhodanthe chlorocephala subsp. rosea is an erect annual herb 20-60cm high with clumps of glabrous (hairless) grey-green stems and leaves 1-6cm in length. It has a large single flowering head at the tip of each stem. Flower heads grow to 6cm diameter, gradually decreasing as the flowering season progresses. The color of the bracts varies from deep pink (almost red) through pale pink to pure white, with a yellow or black centre. 5844
Blackburnian Warblers pick insects and their larvae from high in the tops of both coniferous and deciduous trees, where they often search entire branches from base to tip by hopping and creeping along them, looking up at the underside of leaves and inside clumps of dead leaves when present. They also pluck insects from the underside of leaves by hovering (known as “hover-gleaning”) and occasionally catch insects in flight.
No, that's not a nickname for our new King :-) it's the name of this group of magnificent trees at the high point of Cheesefoot Head in Hampshire..

The heather is in full bloom at present and providing a wonderful rich colour to the landscape and in particular to the mountainside landscape of Mount Leinster.
Had my eye on this clump of trees for a while now and finally went to get a photo of it. I think it'll look good with a sunrise behind it so that'll hopefully be my next visit.
Pyracantha coccinea, firethorn, fruit. I guess these are like tiny apples in structure, as this plant is a member of the rose family. Some of this fruit is further along in time and maturity.
Thank you for looking. Isn't God a great artist?
Along the north side of the British Army’s main train area on Salisbury Plain, only a 20 feet wide unpaved perimeter road (and a fence!) separate the ranges from some stunning scenery.
There are few places that capture the emptiness of the area than the lonely clumps of beech trees that pepper the landscape, some just a hundred metres from the boundary fence.
At Charlton, where I took these shots, there are 4 clumps of between 4 and 8 trees that make a cracking backdrop for sun sets and sun rises.
We were treated to quite a hoar-frost yesterday and it was great to have chance to head out and capture this magical spectacle. Hunton Clump made an ideal subject to show off the effects of the frost.
I hope you enjoy my photos as much as I enjoyed taking them.
