Today in Pictures, the colour is returning.

1. Apart from the occasional protruding stones, there are no signs of previous use of the land.
2. The grasses that were so dominant on my last visit have now seeded and are returning to a lower level.
3. Whites and purple are becoming the dominant colour.
4. Despite dark clouds in all directions, and a wind that blows these flowers in all directions they still manage to stay tall.
5. Ox Eye Daisy and Willowherb belt out their colour.
6. There are dark clouds in all directions, yet the sun shines on this area.
7. Hymalayan Balsam and Teasels try to become the tallest.
8. If it wasnt for the motorway off to the left you would think you were in the heart of the countryside, although mentally, you can be.
9. Soldier Beetles appear to be in a feeding frenzy, for reasons I know not.
10. A Teasel as the flowers pulse up the head getting fertilised along the way, when the flowers reach the top the whole head has been fertilised
