May 2023 daily themes.

Earlier in the week I had a wander past the usual fly tipping sites, to my dismay the good folk of Forest Hill have been on best behaviour of late, no sofas, no TVs or computers, no carpet.
On my way back home I found this

which incidentally is still there three days later.

As fast as I pull them up, they reappear wherever they want.

Wading through bracken is not my favourite activity. I'm a bit surprised that I haven't got any easily found records of battles fought.

I think I may  have posted this in AP forum - certainly a lot of Fern here.

Very wise, as that activity is a favourite of ticks.

I have spent the last couple of hours playing with the fern pictures I took earlier in the week.

Thought as much!

Really need to do some more I suppose, here's hoping for a good sunny summer.

Went Fern hunting in the botanic gardens today with the 100 mm macro on my Canon.

A soft tree fern.  That's what the label on the next one said,

Another, somewhat larger tree fern

I hadn't realised that, while sitting looking at that one, there was another, much bigger still,  to my back
