Bluebells are coming...

Bluebells

"There is a silent eloquence
In every wild bluebell
That fills my softened heart with bliss
That words could never tell."

A Verdant Triangle of England

Verdant
On reflection, having passed here again today, the camera doesn't quite do this scene justice. The verdant triangle is actually full of purple flowers, which don't show at all, however much I tinker.

My Favourite Log II


I still love this log! I should really have taken the photo from a slightly different angle to get more of the cornfield in behind it. Perhaps I'll try that tomorrow. Excuse Barmy Barney photo bombing!

Summer Cornfields


This is the sight that greeted me at my "letting Barney off the lead" spot today! I don't think you could get a much more beautiful sight, unless you are by the sea perhaps. However, for us landlocked people this will do nicely. If this were Instagram, there would be a #nofilter because there are absolutely no effects on this photo, the scene is stunning just as it is.


Summer Cornfields

However, Google in it's wisdom (?) did an "auto awesome" version of this which turned out thus:


Auto Awesome Summer Cornfields

Without blowing my own trumpet, I honestly prefer mine! What do you think?

My Favourite Log...

I love this log... well perhaps not the log itself but the many views it has presented to me! It is very similar to the one in my post Come Walk with Me but this is my favourite!



Actually, if you look closely you can see some huge mushrooms (toadstools?) growing on it.

Rolling Fields on a Stormy Day

The fields on the downs around here could be the very personification of "rolling fields".

This was taken on a stormy day. What I love about days like this is they make colours more vibrant in contrast to the darkness of the skies.
