Surprise entry!

I have been watching this bollard for a week or two now, as it seems to be growing it's own private garden, which is actually rather beautiful, I love the way the Willow herb and the Purple toadflax combine so artistically - such beauty!
The only problem is it is on a really busy junction (see extra) and I had to lay on the pavement to get these shots!! lets just say the man who came along with his wife was very relieved I hadn't collapsed!!
