We are very fortunate to live in an area surrounded by beautiful National Trust land, including this stunning wood less that a mile from our home. This morning we went for a wander in the woods to see the bluebells in all their splendour.
wow, we certainly weren't disappointed- a carpet of blue as far as the eye could see...
The wood was full of beautiful fresh foliage- quite a contrast to the wintery bare trees we saw only a few weeks ago
We found another forest den, even more exciting than the one we found before, it looked like something from Star Wars...
Steve and the girls pretended they were Ewoks and set about constructing another wall and extending the roof

ReplyDeleteWow that looks amazing. You're very lucky to live near such a gorgeous place.
ReplyDeletebluebells are my favourite flower (I have a bluebell tattoo), this reminds me - I must get to some woods soon, your photographs are wonderful (again)
ReplyDeleteAn Ewok home and a field of blue bells in one day -- pretty awesome. Beautiful photos.
