A few Hedgerows, Walls and Walkways...

I love peering into the old hedgerows on morning walks towards Mousehole, and looking across the bay to St Michael's Mount - weather permitting, of course! Even on dizzly Spring days, everything seems bright and vibrant, set against grey skies...

Tiny wild strawberry flowers were wedged between granite blocks, as were violets, surrounded by a scattered patchwork of lichen...

The pink campion was out, set around shiny, waxy leaves in the dense hedgerows...

A blurr of delicate forget-me-nots created a hazy blue mist with their minute flowers...

Whilst banks of bluebells - wild and cultivated - burst out from their background...

The Cornish stone hedges were just as impressive with their subtle ferns, growing out from every crack...

And of course the Cornish staples, glowing nasturtiums that escalate and tumble down stonework leading into the village...

Whilst set between the breaks in the fence covered with the brambles and bracken...

Elusive passageways down to the sea, hidden in tunnels of undergrowth...

And as you make your way into the village, the exotic plants that seem typical of Cornwall today are everywhere...

Whether growing on walls, on steps or in pots...

But always set amongst the granite...

And the alleyways and tiny streets...

Sadly many of which appear to have been given over to holiday-let accommodation, but that's another story, I suppose...

And finally, even when there are no apparent plants, gentle moss wedges itself between the cobblestones!
