A June Evening

Hello Lovelies, 
thank you so much for your lovely comments on my previous post.

These following photos are from the same day as that post ....Thursday.
After a mostly cloudy day the sun eventually came out in the evening and I decided to go out for a walk once the evening meal was over.

I do love these long days....It's not getting dark till 10pm at the moment....eldest and I wandered past the allotments............


I loved the tranquil view over this hedge to the lush green countryside beyond.........


We were heading nowhere in particular, but ended up at the fairly newly created wild flower meadow  that I only discovered in the winter. I was keen to see what was flowering..........


The (usually uninspiring) dock flowers glowed in the setting sun...............


And there were loads of Oxeye Daisies............


The view was so pretty..............


And it was lovely to wander through the flowers for a while..............


By now it was nearly 9pm but I just wanted to explore a little further, down this rough track...........


The kind owner of the cottage above has put out a bench for weary walkers............

The sign says "If you are tired, rest a while"

We didn't sit down, but we did stop to smell the Roses..........


Before standing in the gateway and gazing across the landscape............


Everywhere is so lush and green right now. On days like this I'm so happy to be able to get out and enjoy it's beauty.

  5. Such a kind gesture to weary walkers! Your photos of the wild flowers are stunning. I keep having to check the time now as the bedtimes have been getting later with the light evenings!! Have a wonderful week :-)

  14. It is so nice that it is light so much later now isn't it, it makes a huge difference to the evenings. What a lovely thought that bench for people to take a seat is! You can sit and rest or just sit and enjoy the view, the passers by or whatever, so very kind indeed! xx

  20. What a lovely evening walk. I tried to create a bit of a wildflower part in my garden - it's much harder than it looks. I thought ox-eye daises would be easy - they are everywhere by the side of the road, but I can't get them to grow by the side of my fence! x
