I am very grateful for our garden.
We share it with birds, bees, bats, bugs, badgers, squirrels, frogs, mice, shrews and the occasional mole.
Todayâs visitor was this gorgeous little frog. They live in the cracks and crevices around our patio, pots and raised beds.

Todayâs visitor is this lovely bee seeking nourishment from the salvia we planted at the start of lockdown.
Life is resilient. It renews, replenishes, adapts and thrives, as will we.

Todayâs visitor. I went out trying to capture the damsel fly that was dancing around the oxeye daisies but found this hover fly lounging around instead.

âWhat would the world be once bereft of wet and wildness?
Let them be left. O let them be left, wildness and wet; long live the weeds and the wilderness yetâ

Itâs less wet but still wild today. Picking out the pinks and purples in the garden today. As are the bees

Here they come!

These caterpillars will quickly munch through the nasturtiums I grow to keep them away from things I want to eat

Theyâll strip them completely but when they turn into butterflies the nasturtiums will soon grow back and flower again

Self-seeding corner. The wheat, oats, rapeseed and canary seed uneaten by birds and squirrels grows into a haven for insects and nourishment for bees.

Today was rather glum and grey. Wind swept and rain sluiced but full of movement.
So todayâs #30DaysWild random act of wildness was finding solace and stillness in watching the meadows dance.
Enjoying the sway of grasses against the sky ...

Ventured out of my garden today. Wild!
Went down the greenway and around our local SANG. Hard to believe this used to be an army garrison. Now it uses sustainable urban design to provide habitats for people and wildlife.

Love these mighty teasels waving their arms around tickling the sky #30DaysWild
Today for #30DaysWild a tour of the corners and creases in our garden that provide sanctuary for wildlife. A bug mansion from old bricks and tiles, a barrel pond with stone steps, a hibernarium topped with old pots and tree prunings and frog alley filled with soil and leaf litter

The edge lands are the seams in the landscape, not quite managed, not quite wild.
I love this spontaneous pond that squeezed itself into existence betwixt path and field and now provides a habitat for marginals and amphibians

Track and trace #30DaysWild
In the dull light and patter of rain it is again the bright green tree leaves that catch the eye, slick and glistening with droplets and laden with flowers and fruits.

Fallen trees donât die, they fill again with life, each one an intricate and vibrant ecosystem housing multitudes of tiny, tenacious organisms.
They also make pretty good forts, dens and hammocks ...

In the hot weather a small pond is an oasis. A host of small elegant flowers and lugubrious snails inhabit this refreshing source water source for all kinds of creatures.

Toad made me jump again. Seems to have moved their toad abode from salad strip to courgette corner, blending into the wall

Finishing this thread as it started with the healthy happy people, healthy happy planet crates we planted at the start of lockdown. A reminder of the renewal, diversity and beauty that surrounds us
