While my daughter had some time in the playground with her Brownies pack, I walked through the countryside. My walks naturally take me through fields along Public Rights of Way, so it is essential to:
Leave only footprints, take only photographs.
For those who have seen my previous posts, you may recognize I embrace the latter part of that statement.
I've been investigating an area of scrubland near the coast called Bollens Bush. Unfortunately, it's proven somewhat difficult to access as despite being theoretically traversable by footpaths, many of them are overgrown to the point of impassability.
Still, it's been an enjoyable adventure to see what is and isn't accessible, and the overgrown nature makes for quiet walking.

I'm reasonably sure these two pictures are of immature wheat, although it could, in theory, be barley. To my knowledge, barley has longer spindles from the seed head than wheat. However, given Lewes District's penchant for brewing, I may well be wrong.

All along the pathways are numerous wildflowers, or at the very least wild escapees from domestic gardens. I found this Marguerite daisy (Argyranthemum frutescens or Paris daisy) in several spots by the side of the track; it made for a pretty distraction on the route. I've made the full-resolution version of this photo available on Lensy.

As I started venturing toward the scrubland, I spotted more colorful plants. This Caesalpinia is part of the Legume family. Legumes (i.e., Pea) are essential for our ecosystem as their roots host bacteria that can capture and store excess nitrogen from the atmosphere, which neighboring plants can utilize as fertilizer - without any risk of nitrates leaking into the watercourse. This photo is also available on Lensy.
