No. 3 in my "What If History" series, made with the help of Google Notebook to illustrate the ideas. This time, what if Henry V hadn't died in 1422, aged just 35, and had lived to succeed Charles VI as King of France? #history #skystorians #englishhistory #frenchhistory

A vibrant green hedgerow jewelled with glossy red rosehips, while clusters of unripened ivy berries, looking like green chocolate drops, jostle against them

Lovely walk through Coed Y Gopa #Abergele #conwy #northwales #wales yesterday. #nature #trees #treeclub #woodland
The image shows a dense, sunlit deciduous woodland dominated by tall trees with smooth, pale grey bark— most closely resembling a mature stand of beech trees — lining a narrow earthen footpath which stretches ahead of you before disappearing amongst the trees.

A little late for #wildflowerhour #ByTheSea but I wanted to share what I found on my walks in #conwy #northwales this week. Roman Chamomile (Chamaemelum nobile),
a variety of Willowherb and Sea Campion (Silene uniflora)
White, daisy-like Chamomile flowers with bright yellow domes at their centre The delicate pink bloom of Willowherb with long, white, cross-shaped stamens at their centre. Papery white sea campion blooms, growing contentedly on a concrete sea defence wall

One of today's visitors to the buddleia in my garden, this gorgeous Peacock butterfly (Aglais io). The bush is alive with Red Admirals, Commas and Small Whites also present at the same time 😊 🦋

A beautiful Red Admiral (Vanessa atalanta) on the fragrant buddleia in my garden this afternoon. No wonder they call it the butterfly bush. #nature #butterflies #butterfly #photography #phonephotography #samsung
A red admiral butterfly, its dark brown wings becoming black at the tip. The tips are splattered with white splashes and a vibrant red-orange stripe extends in a U shape from the leading edge of each wing down and along the trailing edge of the bottom wings.

Anyone got any idea what this tiny thing is? It's growing on a heath in Colwyn Bay, North Wales. #wildflowerhour @bsbibotany.bsky.social

The tiny purple blooms and hairy leaves of a small patch of wild Creeping Thyme (Thymus) on Bryn Cadno, Bae Colwyn / Colwyn Bay, North Wales #wildflowerhour #flowers #conwy #wales #photography
Clumps of tiny four-leafed purple flowers on long thin stems, stand out from hairy dark green leaves. All no bigger than the surrounding blades of grass

A collection of the wildflowers on show at Bryn Cadno, Colwyn Bay tonight. All lovely but my favourite is undoubtedly the foxglove #wildflowerhour #flowers #conwy #wales #photography
A collage of wildflowers, including yellow buttercups, pink geraniums, white blackberry blossom, a striking magenta foxglove, a white selinum (I think) and a white dog rose

Greater Stitchwort (Stellaria holostea) also known as Star-of-Bethlehem & Wedding Cake. At the moment it carpets the side of the path to Yr Olygfa (The View) in Bae Colwyn / Colwyn Bay in North Wales #nature #wildflowerhour #photography #flowers #conwy #northwales #naturephotography
A mass of white Greater Stitchwort, the white flowers have 5 petals, each with a little cut in their rounded tips, almost cutting each in two. The centre is a bright yellow cone, surrounded with stamen of delicate, thin filaments and deep yellow panthers.

Came across this fine specimen of Lords-and-Ladies (also known as Arum maculatum or Cuckoo Pint) on my evening walk with the dog this evening. Always feels like such an exotic plant to find on a Welsh roadside #photography #nature #wildflowerhour #flowers #conwy #wales
Lords-and-Ladies (also known as Arum maculatum or Cuckoo Pint) growing amidst the grass and other wild plants at the side of a country lane. Its yellow pitcher, tinged with pink, seems decidedly alien in this setting.

The northern slope of Bryn Euryn in Conwy, North Wales is carpeted with Cowslip (Primula veris) at this time of year #photography #nature #wildflowerhour #flowers #conwy #wales #northwales
The deep yellow trumpets of Cowslip (Primula veris) sit clustered atop a perfectly straight stem, amidst the wild meadow grasses and ground cover, like a group of tannoy speakers blaring out the message that spring has arrived.

Gloomy start to February in North Wales. But even in this stark and barren scene you can make out the buds at the tips of branches, sheltering the life that will soon burst forth and bring colour back to this ancient land. #nature #landscape #photography #phonephotography #mobilephotography #wales
A bare tree stands in the foreground of a gloomy landscape, starkly monochrome in appearance. Other, similarly bare, trees stand in the cold behind it, with yet more barely visible in the murky distance.
