Portishead sunset

Not the band but the town. We took a quick trip out to Clevedon to take some shots of its recently-restored Victorian pier using a lensless technique (those shots will probably be posted later) and then on to Portishead for fish'n'chips -- the chippie there serves proper mushy peas. Our tradition is to go down to the seafront to scoff. On this occasion, there was a rather tranquil sunset.

Shute Shelve, spring.

It's a bit early in the year for the full glory of the Shute Shelve slopes but you have to keep a close eye on things or else you can miss it. Right now the gorse is going for it, there are Hairy Violets on the slopes and the Gound Ivy is making a strong showing. We spotted this odd eggcup-shaped fungus and couldn't resist taking a few macro shots to pore over back at the ranch.
