Five cows lying out in a field in a line with the only black cow in the middle. Things like this will always catch the eye of a photographer.

In the Barley field near Tumby Woods (see my previous upload) there were lots of these beautiful little pansys growing up through the crop. It was a real treat finding these little flowers in amongst the barley. In normal years, the crop would have been harvested over a month ago and the stubble probably sprayed off to kill weeds before re-planting for next year - one reason why so many of our native wild flowers have suffered so badly.
The delicate Field Pansy (Viola arvensis) is a wild relative of our garden pansy and can be found in fields and on waste ground and roadside verges - anywhere the ground has been disturbed. Its long-stalked, pale yellow flowers can be found winding their way through the grasses from April to October. It is native to Europe, western Asia, and North Africa, and it is known on other continents as an introduced species and a weed of disturbed and cultivated areas.
Viola arvensis was shown to contain cyclotides, a class of peptides found in plants. The peptide cycloviolacin O2 in particular has shown to possess cytotoxic activity against human cancer cells and is therefore looked at as a potential drug lead.
I drove past this field a few days ago and noticed a small number of white flowers at the top of the enclosure. 3 days later I took a chance and drove back to see what three days of sunshine had done. It was very much worth it and I don't think these beautiful poppies have even peaked yet as there were plenty of small plants yet to bloom. Farmed beauty.

I saw this beautiful creature and wanted to get a shot but only had the 50mm lens on so I had to get close. Unfortunately she was a little testy and tried to impale me on those mighty horns. One shot had to be enough today.

"Home, home again
I like to be here when I can
When I come home cold and tired
It's good to warm my bones beside the fire
Far away across the field
The tolling of the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spells"
