Butcher's Broom in suburbia
Butcher's broom is a member of the lily family despite its appearance. The spiky-looking leaves are actually flattened stems (cladodes). It is a characteristic species of ancient woodlands (rather than suburban gardens), so I was rather surprised to find it growing in the rather stony soil between our house and next door. I would like to think that it was there as a hangover from the days when south-east Essex was covered in ancient wildwood. However, it probably was bird-sown, the birds being fond of those juicy-looking berries. There are ancient woodlands within a few hundred metres of our garden.

Images of the sun during the Eclipse of 1999
In Essex, the eclipse of August 11th was only partial. Near the maximum, the sun was filtering through the foliage of trees in my garden to create a series of images of the partially eclised sun.
