Pretty in Purple

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.

A Sea of Flowers

These have the most unfortunate name... and smell. I learned too late that if you let your dogs run through them they get sticky and stink to high heaven! But a field of rapeseed flowers does look pretty impressive..

Larry getting some more photo action

This is the last time the dogs will be off the lead through this field for a while!

Eleven days later the rapeseed is nearly as tall as me and this is my view to the left as I walk through the field:

Other Flora

I don't just take photos of poppies! Other flowers move me too.

Dew dropped

Purpleness

Just hanging around

Wild daisies, the big kind, my 4th favourite flower

Come Walk with Me...

Today I took my dogs for a walk and there were so many sights to behold I wanted to share them all with you.

Come walk with me!

Our path was marked for us by flowers

As we turned the corner we were met with the sight of the inclement clouds saturating the landscape with vibrant colours

The view opposite of saturated, vibrant colours

Flowers guarding the entrance to... I don't know... A brave new world perhaps...

I love poppies and it's poppy season!

More poppies

Another poppy!

Rolling fields and clouds

To finish, half hidden and nestling in the trees, Home Sweet Home... Unfortunately not mine though...

Floral Sunshine

In the absence of real sunshine this field of brightness was like walking through the sun... Without the heat obviously...
