    Wonderful photos! I find things here to be very seasonal, we need to take advantage of the photo opportunities while they are there.

    Darko, strangely it was a dry day. We seem to have had a burst of life with the snails and spiders everywhere.

    Mark, I'm feeling confident about the summer this year so I wasn't surprised to hear the forecasts. 2003 was good, but you're too young to remember 1976. Now that was a hot summer!

    Haha……. i was probably in a previous life enjoying the weather though! 😉 😆

    Great photos! Funny you should mention spiders – I've been thinking recently that I've hardly seen any so far this year. Maybe our colder winter up here didn't do them much good.

    I was trying to do a plant survey out on the open downland for university in the summer of 2003. I nearly got heatstroke! :faint: I'd prefer it was -15C, personally :p

    Adele, most of the spiders are showing up indoors (not ideal), but we've got a healthy crop of nursery web spiders in the garden. They're a bit skittish so I haven't managed many photos yet.
