Week 6 of the 52 Week Challenge on Facebook, and I found this tree on Sullington Warren near Storrington, intrigued by the spiral pattern up the oak tree trunk. Presumably caused by a vine type plant climbing up and around sometime in the past.

Tiny seed pod in the grass... approx 1cm wide.

Dedicated to Piet Grobler, a lover of nature's little wonders.

Piet has encouraged my interest in the miniature and with Piet's inspiration, we have created a new group called Nature's Little Wonders. Please join us if you are interested!

Euphorbia milii var. splendens. Such a square and rectangular arrangement of flowers (or in this case cyathia) strikes me as unusual in nature.

There is a thing called a "nursery" relationship in the desert, where the palo verde trees shelter young saguaro seedlings who eventually outgrow the trees.
