Day 10 Watch the Sunset

I finished work this evening and found myself stuck in heavy traffic on my way home.  Normally I can be home from work in about fifteen to twenty minutes but today it took me over an hour. 

I arrived home exhausted and hot and by the time I'd cooked myself some tea I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with myself for the rest of the evening. A book I'd ordered on Wild Flowers had arrived so I thought perhaps I could sit outside later and have a read through it for day ten of the challenge.

However with it being a hot day I had a feeling the sun would be a nice colour come sunset so I decided to have a drive out to the country lanes with my youngest daughter and watch the sun disappear there.  I quickly grabbed my camera and tripod and headed off towards Bickerstaffe.

We stayed for about thirty minutes and watched as the sun disappeared behind the trees managing to take a couple of photos before it finally vanished behind the trees.



When I got back home I had a
quick read through my new book
which I'd ordered second hand from Ebay.


I ordered this book because it's received very good reviews for helping with wild flower identification and I really want to be able to identify the flowers that I take photos of.  To test it out I looked up the flower below which I'd uploaded a few days ago in my 'Walk around a Lake' post.  I'd put down that the flower was a Meadow Buttercup but now having looked through the book tonight, I'm thinking it could actually be a Greater Spearwort:


What do you think,
is it a
Buttercup
or
Greater Spearwort?
