Beautiful Birch...............

Aconitum lucotonium

Dry seedpods from Aconitum lycoctonum. The seeds (you can see one in the open seed-pod), together with the roots are especially rich in the toxins (akonitine). The seeds rest in the open seed-pods, and wind or a passing person throws them a surprising distance.

And then there is Herb-Paris (Paris quadrifolia):

Not even remotely as toxic as the Wolf's bane...

Not sure if he's my guardian angel or stalker, but every time I'm out in the woods he's there watching.. always watching..

Here is a shot of Wasdale on Sunday afternoon as another weather system is passing through.

The weather had been nice in the morning but it was turning awful so I went to Wasdale and managed to catch some nice shots. I watched this squall travel the length of the vally and hardly got wet.
