“In the fields beyond the fence are rows of neatly hoed turnip plants, and beyond these there stretches young
the pale green of young oats. The ash flowers and the bracken show that this picture was painted in northern England. In the south they would be further developed by June.”

“June is the month when the meadows are full of
flowers and blossoming grasses. Hedge-parsley and
chervil are both ni flower, together with many others
of their kind that bear sprayes in the shape of upside-
down umbrellas. They are sweet-scented in both leaf and blossom.”

“Two damsel-flies are on the tall, flowering rush. These are the smallest of the British dragon-flies, and
they prey on gnats, July-browns, and other insects.
Beside the water-vole grow arrowhead plants, and to the left the great water-plantain. Both have three-
petalled flowers. Their roots are deep in mud under
the water, and they are growing in the shallows at the canal's edge together with the rushes. The canal passes under a bridge, and you can see how the tow-path also goes under it so that a horse that pulls a barge can pass thereon. On the towpath fishermen are sitting, and one of them has just caught a fish: not too big to be landed with a skilful jerk.”
