Those of us who were lucky enough not to have to self-isolate were able to go out for our daily exercise during the lockdown months. Taking photos of trees, shrubs, flowers and the countryside to share with friends and family gave us all an additional purpose to our walks. So let us share all our photos with the members of the group. E-mail them to me and I will post them for you on this page.
From the week of 4th May, the most recent entries will be at the top of this page to save you having to scroll down. This said, if this is your first visit to the site, please scroll down to see all the entries.
Enjoy your virtual tour of the Cornish landscapes!

My walks take me past people's gardens and I took photos of two different acers. The photo on the left was taken in a garden by the river Fowey in Cliff and the other was taken in Lerryn. The acer in Lerryn was of particular interest because of its peeling bark. | ![]() |

The photos above of camellia and rhododendron blooms were taken in a garden in Penpol by kind permission of the owner. Social distancing measures were observed.
The footpath from Lanteglos Highway and Pont takes you through a private property and the path is lined with trees and shrubs. I took the four photos below. I do not know the name of the last shrub.

The wildflowers have featured much so far - this is not surprising as our Cornish hedgerows are a riot of colours in the Spring. However, let us not forget about the beautiful plants which give us a symphony of different shades of green. I am not sure what they all are!

The hedgerows are beautiful and the variety of wild flowers and plants that grow on them does vary from one minor road to the next. Here is a selection taken around Lerryn, St Veep and Penpol.
