Orchid farewell

Just a few pictures there wasn't time to post before we left...

Berkshire does do real red poppy fields, but not this year. This was more of a mixed meadow




Common Spotted orchids in a cutting under the M4 in late June, thousands of them...








There is a host of Pyramidal orchids on the roundabout where the A34 joins the southern Oxford bypass. Not a place you can safely stop and take pictures so nothing doing.....



Anyway, that's us out of Berkshire and up to Glasgow, where the Common Spotted orchids are still in flower, nearly 6 weeks behind Berkshire... Glasgow is interesting in its own right from the photographic perspective: Anniesland gasometers are really eye catching and nothing like as grim as they come out in photographs.
