Green-veined White - Pieris napi on Great willow herb.
Great willow herb is a large herb that flourishes on damp ground, such as wet grasslands, ditches, riversides and woodland clearings. Deep pink flowers appear on the top of hairy stems from July to August and its fluffy seeds are dispersed by the wind.
What is willow herb good for?
Medicinal use of Willow Herb:
The herb is antispasmodic, astringent, demulcent, emollient, hypnotic, laxative and tonic. It is used in the treatment of diarrhoea, mucous colitis and irritable bowel syndrome. The plant is used in Germany and Austria to treat prostate problems.
Can you eat great willow herb?
It's not the best food, but being so abundant can be very useful. In the Springtime the young shoots and leaves can be eaten raw, and as they get older need to be steamed or boiled for 10 minutes. Treat the shoots like asparagus. The root can be cooked as a vegetable, added to stews.

Hand held and the gentle colour softness that this lens produces when fully open. Not much depth of field either!
All sorts of gentle post-processing, a bit here and a bit there!

I dearly love finding dandelions in my garden, whether they are the yellow flowers or the soft puffs of seeds ready to take to the wind. Generally I leave the dandelion there (unless I am removing weeds, and then I say goodbye to my little friends). However, this one time I decided to break the dandelion puff off of the stem to take inside the house for a photo session. The moment I removed the puff, the bottom of the stem curled into these two tightly wound circles. What a treat!

I have been thinking lately that I need to take some wider angle photos and it is difficult when I enjoy the world close up and macro. My next goal should be wide lens work of people and places.

This distinctive homopteran is distributed through a large part of Europe, especially in the northern and central parts of the continent. Measuring around 8-11mm in length they have strong back legs that enable them to jump well over half a metre and they can also fly. Habitat is variable but usually in wooded areas where there are sunny clearings or in open grassland. In the UK the adults are active between April and August.
When mating they adopt a very unusual position, side by side at a slight angle. The female lays batches of eggs in the stems of plants towards the end of summer. The resultant larvae live underground, feeding on the roots of various plants before emerging to the surface in the Spring.
