Amelia's photos

Today's Sunday Challenge is: Yellow The common name comes from the leaf's supposed resemblance to a colt's foot. The leaves of coltsfoot appear after the flowers have set seed. The long stems bear scale-leaves that can be seen more clearly in the PiP. Coltsfoot has been used in herbal medicine and the leaves have been used in traditional Austrian medicine internally (as tea or syrup) or externally (directly applied) for treatment of disorders of the respiratory tract, skin, locomotor system, viral infections, flu, colds, fever, rheumatism and gout. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tussilago

This bridge on the Montgomery Canal runs over the River Perry which also flows through our village.

Today's Sunday Challenge is: A cone, or cones, or something cone-shaped. Over the last couple of weeks the road through our village has been undergoing a programme of pothole filling which was very much overdue. In one week our local garage replaced 6 suspension springs, one of them from our car. The work is finally finished and on Friday the road maintenance brigade finally removed all the cones and signs.
