Junior bear and I are trying to keep busy and it's cool enough to go exploring. We were heading for The Bog which is off in the Shropshire Hills and gives a good indication of being a possibly fruitful butterfly and dragon hunting area but I got side tracked the Snailbeach lead mines and Gosh was more that happy to join in.

Huge Ruby-tailed Bumble - I think a queen Orchids

Don't ask me how I did that

Harebells
View with flower meadow
Dusky Cranesbill - it was full of bees

There are still structures from the old lead mines

Gosh wondering what size of bunny lives down there and then checking in that we were going to climb the steps .
The views were spectacular - stopped to chat with a man doing a roof repair and he appreciated how much I was admiring the view -he sees it daily from his kitchen sink

Last view and a Perennial Cornflower

Nice photo's Germain, a part of the country I have never been to.

Very nice photos Germain.

I do love an old structure to explore and photograph

Lovely series, Cin, thanks for sharing

What a perfect peaceful place for you and Gosh to go exploring, thanks for sharing C
