A reason to be optimistic in these bleak times? Greenham Common - once an airfield for nuclear bombers is now a nature reserve with orchids, adders and nightjars; the nuclear bunkers are now used for Star Wars films and the watchtower is now a splendid cafe.

Spending dark winter months sorting out photographs and as I have posted recently I thought I would share some pictures of local orchids - starting with the pyramidal orchid. Taken back in 2012 - how the world has changed since then?
