Walk made on 2nd June around Battlefield, Newcastle upon Tyne UK.
1 Wet weather; but one of the trees that were (mis)planted two years ago has survived and serves as a useful bike tether.
2 Oxford Ragwort (small petals). Taken to Oxford in the 18th century from the slopes of Vesuvius, it rapidly travelled around Britain spread by train and now car slipstreams. It grows without the need to find soil and with stands drought.
3 De Chirico's Turin. Not the weather, obviously.
