one of my absolute favourite times of year is Bluebell time. It's another reason May delights me so.
Last week the walking group went on a "Bluebell Walk".....bliss.
It's a shame the weather was dull....and even more of a shame I managed to forget my Camera.....something I NEVER normally do!
Still, I do have a new phone and thankfully it takes reasonable pictures.
the round thing you can see in the photo is a charcoal kiln.
Gosh I'm rubbish with a touch screen.... :0)
After a while we climbed steeply up through the trees and emerged at this beautiful view.......
It was a perfect place for our coffee stop
Next the path descended steeply down again. Into a place known locally as the "Hidden Valley". It was such a pretty spot...........
Then we were back in the most beautiful woodland....where the carpet of blue was truly magical........
And happily I managed to finally take some in focus shots with my phone camera.....
just in time :0)
I went home happy. How I love Bluebell time.

Lovely - I never manage to capture the pictures of bluebells how I see them. Oh well - there is always next year! Looks a lovely walk. x
ReplyDeleteYou weren't kidding about bluebells, were you? Gosh they are cheery!
ReplyDeleteHere in southern Australia, our farm paddocks often have a weed called Cape Weed. The flowers, which look like daisies, are wonderful for making chains, but I am unsure what sort of nutritional value there is in the broadleaf.
I think I'd like paddocks of bluebells better. :)
Absolutely beautiful, what a lovely walk, especially with the bluebell woods. And beautifully photographed, even without your usual camera. CJ xx
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely photos (It amazes me how well phone cameras work now! I would be lost without mine as my sieve like brain ensures that I frequently forget my camera!). Spring really is the most wonderful time of year :-)
ReplyDeleteI love bluebell time too and your photos show just how vibrant a blue they are especially when you see them all en mass like that.

I just love bluebells, I wish they grew where I live...
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful! Nothing so lovely carpeting the forest floors here.Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteJacquie, that bluebell wood you all walked through looks as if it appeared from a storybook. I can almost see the elves and fairies. xo
ReplyDeleteThat is absolutely beautiful. I would love to sit on that bench and read a good book, all the while enjoying the bluebells around me.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,

ReplyDeleteLovely photos, I love this walk. I am pretty sure the seat is the one where DH and I usually have a 5 minute sit down!

The Bluebells are beautiful this year, I've tried to remember to go and see them as much as I can!
ReplyDeleteThere is no better sight than a bluebell wood and your photos really capture how magical the woods can look at this time of the year. What a beautiful walk to undertake but cannot believe you forgot your camera, what a good job you had your phone as a backup. xx
ReplyDeleteOh how I wish bluebells grew around here.... Another reason to move to the UK I guess. :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful bluebells - what a wonderful sight they are! Lovely photos :)

So do I Jacquie, we managed to pop to our local woods and were rewarded with a morning filled with the gorgeous sight and scent of bluebells, wild garlic and blossom. Just a perfect time of year!
