On the way back from the local Garden Centre where I stocked up on bird food, I took a detour to a well know local hot spot for Bluebells to see if they were out yet.....
I was not disappointed.... :-)
& they even had a bird feeding area.
Hi Juno,
Your pictures have lifted my heart!!!! Aren't they just so beautiful when they carpet the woods like that. They aren't out up here yet. I have a small bunch in my garden - hardly worth the effort really, but I do love them so much.
Thank you for posting these. And even a little coal tit!
Cheers, Linda.

Great sight, Juno, and the scent is so wonderful. I can almost smell them from here. I hope they are the native British ones and not those Spanish invaders.
Regards TJ

Absolutely beautiful. Up here in Cumbria, ours are not completely out yet either.
Kind regards Jane.

I've learned that I still have a lot to learn...

Your pic brought back memories of childhood wanders in the local bluebell woods. When Fords decided to build, mum worried about the loss of bluebells, so we dug some up and planted them at home(something I wouldn't dream of doing now!) I still have some of the bulbs in my own garden almost forty years on. They are a link with happy days spent with my mum.
Some of the old woods are still there and, with our new insight, are being managed.
Oh Linda - I did exactly the same with pink campion. It used to cover the hedgerows where mum and I walked for our summer picnics. Happy days!! We dug some up (this was over half a century ago and allowed in those days!) and I still have them in my garden to this day and I always think of mum and our picnics when they start to flower, as they are doing now.
Excellent pics of a fabulous sight!! Gorgeous!
