Cranesbill by Portobello Way, Warwick

What a sweetie! A jumble of soft leaves and intensely pink little flowers that gladdened the heart. Thought to be Hedgerow Cranesbill (Geranium pyrenaicum), it flowered for only a day or two.

Sheep on Jephson's Farm across the Avon, Myton, Warwick

The Lombardy Poplars follow the course of the River Leam SP3065 : Poplars on the Leam. Its confluence with the Avon is out-of-shot left. The farm is bordered by rivers, housing estates and a railway, and is crossed by power lines and the canal. It produces a crop of lambs every year and nothing else.

Canal overflow channel, Emscote, Warwick

The Grand Union Canal between Warwick and Offchurch is a 'sink', ie, at a low level with water flowing into it from locks at each end. To avoid flooding there are several overflow weirs along the 7 km stretch. In the photo the canal is at high level left between bridge 46 and the Avon Aqueduct SP2965 : Towpath and overflow weir, Grand Union Canal, Emscote Road. Water drops in a pipe or chute and is channelled to the River Avon behind the camera. The view is from this footbridge SP3065 : Small footbridge next to the River Avon.

Anglers call it a day, Jephson's Farm, Warwick

Jephson's Farm rents out some fishing pegs on the bank of the River Avon. These two gents were struggling with a heavy cart of fishing gear. The view is from the canal towpath.

Bee on ivy flowers by the canal, Myton, Warwick

Mid-September seems early in the year to be seeing this. One associates bees-on-ivy with early winter. Perhaps ivy has a long flowering season. Note the adult form of the leaves.
