Horrified by the attack on Pride in Berlin. My thoughts are all with the victims and their loved ones. No doubt the usual suspects will be using this tragedy to further divide us.💔💔

A couple of pics from our walk along the Tees near Hurworth. Unfortunately most of the wild flowers we saw were invasive willow herb, himalayan balsam and giant hogweed so no pics of them today

Anyone recognise this plant growing wild in a strip of unplugged land. Bright blue flowers. Might be an escapee
Tall plant with bare branched stems and blue daisylike flowers

Some pretty rare wild flowers seen this morning in the old quarry near Bishop Middleham. The magnesian limestone offers a unique habitat. Lots of martins and swallows enjoying the mass of insect life. Spotted many butterflies and moths. Descriptions in alt

The North Sea looks almost inviting today. Such a shame Yorkshire water has filled it with 💩
