Here are a few pictures taken on 23 June during a (not)parkrun along the towpath between Timperley and Altrincham. Coincidentally it's just about a year since a similar posting (here). Perhaps the flowers are at their best just now.
I first got the camera out in order to record the progress of the transition of the Linotype Works industrial premises to a housing estate.
Then the lightly mown verge led to an irresistable desire to 'snap' some of the flowers...
(And you should get a slideshow on your PC if you click on any of the images.)
Ox-eye Daisy
Bramble

How lovely! I bet you’re looking forward to summers in the Alps again.
Thanks Gibson. Yes, we are looking forward to the Alpine flowers, but in the meantime the UK (lots in Scotland last week - blog to follow in due course) is serving up a good menu!
Yes we noticed you were in Braemar!
