Autumn Photos, 2015

My new phone has a 20 MP camera so I've photographed Autumn with it!

Beautiful sights today.

Buttercup Field

The buttercups across the field

Made sunshine rifts of splendor.

The Poppies Survived

A farmer had dug trenches around his fields, digging up where the poppies grew. I thought they would all have been killed off but nature prevailed!

Wild Garlic

You can tell Spring is in full swing when the wild garlic appears!

Wild Garlic making a Spring Day look like Winter

Mind you it was taken on 7th May, 2015. It will be winter for many people for five long years.

Practically Perfect

This moment, right here, was practically perfect in every way:

Wild Bluebells

Bluebells

Ne'er have I seen such beauty

Field of bluebells ‘neath golden sun

Interspersed with tree-trunk pillars

Lovely forest, woodland spun.

Bluebells

Exquisite and breathtaking beauty

Unsullied by the hands of man

Simply there for the heart's enjoyment

According to nature's best-laid plan.

Bluebells

Splendid and arresting beauty

Awesome scene of sheer delight

Bold images of wild bluebells

Touched by rays of golden sunlight.

And frosts are slain and flowers begotten..

"And frosts are slain and flowers begotten,
And in green underwood and cover
Blossom by blossom the spring begins."

Algernon Charles Swinburne  (1837–1909)
Atalanta in Calydon (1865)

  White Blossom 21st April, 2015

Pink Blossom 24th April, 2015

My favourite is the White Blossom. It looks to me as though it is falling from the sky onto the tree.

Sunset Through the Bedroom Window IV

Dusk was beautiful last night. Another sunset view from the bedroom window:

Snow February, 2015

I can't believe I didn't post these pictures of the snow in February, 2015. It lasted less than a day but was beautiful while it lasted.

Larry of course has to make an appearance in this last one. He's becoming quite famous!

Bluebells... Four Days Later in the Woods

The budding bluebell photo in the last post was taken on 14th April, 2015. There were a few buds scattered here and there in the Bluebell Woods. Four days later the Bluebell Woods look more like this:

Nature can be an amazing and beautiful force. This is just the beginning too. In the not too distant future this will be a sea of bluebells!

I just have to add this photo too. Larry and bluebells, two of my favourite things:
