Fancy name for the coffee and snack facility in the BP petrol station. The attendant has to make coffee as well as receive petrol payments.
The scarce Wild Green Hellebore (Hellebores viridis) The Green Hellebore only thrives under strict conditions, alkaline soils rich in humus and calcium, damp and in semi shade. There are a couple of populations here in East Kent but unfortunately this one, Church Lane near Stalisfield has been all but destroyed by subcontractors coppicing the wood they grow in. Coppicing is an important part of the Kent countryside but this crew drove their tree cutters all over this population, producing deep wheel ruts and gully's, tearing up the KWT Roadside Nature Reserve signs and destroying Dormouse boxes and Fly Orchids. Fingers crossed that over the next years they will find a way back.....
I bet these wild rabbits were very happy when the parks were closed since they could freely go anywhere to enjoy the grass.
As the parks are now opened. I guess these rabbits will have to pay attention not to get too closed to the humans :)

A wild flower seed mix given me by my sister-in-law. I really like the results and next year I will plant more wild flowers. West Coast Seeds in Delta BC has a good selection of mixes.
This Foxy session was a eventful week, in-between a scary and frustrating week.. From a little visit to hospital to awaiting a breakdown recovery from the road side. this evening session was enjoyable to finally watch this years cub be confident enough to pose without charging about.

Love The Wild Swan
Robinson Jeffers
"I hate my verses, every line, every word.
Oh pale and brittle pencils ever to try
One grass-blade's curve, or the throat of one bird
That clings to twig, ruffled against white sky.
Oh cracked and twilight mirrors ever to catch
One color, one glinting
Hash, of the splendor of things.
Unlucky hunter, Oh bullets of wax,
The lion beauty, the wild-swan wings, the storm of the wings."
--This wild swan of a world is no hunter's game.
Better bullets than yours would miss the white breast
Better mirrors than yours would crack in the flame.
Does it matter whether you hate your . . . self?
At least Love your eyes that can see, your mind that can
Hear the music, the thunder of the wings. Love the wild swan.
This herd of wild Konik ponies in the fens were quiet happy for me to photograph them, not too wild
