Plant of the Day
Tuesday 12 September 2023
This garden dry stone wall hosts a number of Sedum species including the grey foliaged Sedum spathulifolium 'Cape Blanco' (spoon-leaved stonecrop). The fleshy rosettes are silver-grey in winter becoming blue-grey in summer, overlaid with a white bloom which intensifies with drought.

Nidderdale - Dry Stone Wall by Yorkshire Lad - Paul T
Via Flickr:
This view of the wonderful Nidderdale is taken from the Pateley Bridge to Wath road. In the distance between the trees you can just see Gouthwaite Reservoir. Rightly proud of its place within the Dales, Nidderdale is for many the favourite Dale. It truly deserves its status as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with its stunning moorland scenery and tapestry of lush green meadows Best viewed large

…. and left with a broken heart by Willem Eelsing
Via Flickr:
The boy came from the north. He fell in love with a local girl. She visited her grandmother's grave regularly and she couldn't resist this hard working and ever so charming lad. The fire roared deeply and passionately in their hearts. But after a while, the girl had to confess that she was married with a sailor. He would be back soon. The boy's heart was broken and when he finished his work, he left it in the wall. The broken heart hasn't healed till today.
