Elisabeth Line Stations London

I think this is my final set of images taken in London in 2024 - a journey from Woolwich exploring the Elisabeth Line Stations  - lots of shiny steel, white surfaces, polished wood and perforations.

The Start of 2025 in Toft Wood

 Our village is repeating the initiative from 2020 of recording the village, its customs, people, buildings, wildlife etc. As part of that initiative,  I compiled a book all about Toft wood which was planted by the villagers in 1995. This year as part of its 30th Anniversary, I hope to complete a more thorough wildlife survey. So today I headed down the hill and into the wood in warm sunshine and recorded any signs of spring and also made a start on the mosses - a group I haven't tackled before. Very surprised when I processed my stack of images of a moss on a tree trunk (living hawthorn) to find several fruiting bodies of a very small slime mould species (?) (confirmation or not to follow). Otherwise Hazel catkins, male and female, are fully out while Alder catkins, snowdrops and Arum lily are unfurling their flowers

Canary Wharf at Dusk

 Still a few images to share from the Docklands trip - here a walk around the Canary Wharf area as the light faded and the lights took over.
