June Outdoors .... oh, and a little indoors :0)

Hello Lovelies,
Thank you , thank you for all your great comments on my tutorial. So nice it seems helpful to quite a few of you :0)

Anyways , getting on with this post . .....I'm so taken with all the plants along the roadside verges this year. Whilst I'm driving about I'm constantly noticing so many stunning plants  at the moment.
 On my way to work there are some magnificent thistles in the central reservation ...hard to photograph though !!
Then there's dog daisies , buttercups and long grasses . I'm really awed by the beauty of it all  .

Replacing the frothy, frilly...almost bridal prettiness of the Cow Parsley I loved in May is the more structural ..........Hogweed .
Shame about the name but It's my favourite at the moment.......... I know that may seem rather odd  but there's something stunning about it's skeletal form that I'm loving this year ............

This stuff is big and looks pretty viewed like this , but my favourite way to photograph it is from below ...a bunnies eye view :0).........

I love the way you can see the individual flowers are made up of the same shaped round spokes as the whole flower head and the sun shining through the petals is so pretty.......

I know I'm not alone in loving these structural plants , do have a look a Angie Lewins stunning prints

Another favourite of mine at the moment has got to be the wild poppies. They are particularly abundant this year , and how appropriate as it's the 90'th year of the Poppy Appeal. From a distance they look amazing.......a red field ...wow !!.....

And in close up they are so pretty.........

Especially with some hog weed and a gorgeous sunny blue sky  .....

Yes I'm loving the bunnies eye view :0)
The out doors is so beautiful at this time of year  , it's great to capture it and share it with all of you lovelies around the world, especially those on  the wintry side .I know how much I enjoyed Sunny posts from the southern hemisphere during our winter .

P.S. As the weather is so warm I've treated myself to a new ( charity shop ) dress.........

It's really pretty with lots of added sparkle ........

And I didn't even realise till I got it home that it's exactly the same shade of plum/ purple I'm using on my granny squares :0)

I hope you are getting chance to get close to nature this week .
