Macro May 2023 - Day 9

 

Macro May - Day 16

 

Here we have the English Bluebell (Day 9 was the Spanish bluebell) same beautiful colour but very different presence :P Where the Spanish Bluebell stands tall, strong and erect, the English Bluebell is more demure and dainty…of course there are also some hybrids these days but I am no plant expert and those are just the main differences I am aware of. Love them both :)

Macro May 2021 - Day 9

 

Beautiful bluebells  - just love them…both types.

Macro May 2020 - Day 2

I managed two days in a row...woohoo! 

We got in the car as a family today for the first time in over 6 weeks, instead of just walking round the corner to our local park, which is what we had been doing and which we are SO over. We are allowed to drive short distances to exercise, as long as the exercise lasts longer than the drive to get there. Well our drive only took 12 minutes but we walked for over an hour and were surrounded by green and sunshine and it was just what we needed. 

This is a gorgeous English Bluebell and this is their season; which is always too short. There is nothing as spectacular as walking through woods, carpeted with bluebells, it is quite breathtaking. That wasn't today, we were more out in the open, but there were plenty of these growing along the hedgerows. 

At some point this month I'll show a Spanish Bluebell, also common here; similar but quite different.

Macro May 2018 - Day 12

It's bluebell season here in the UK, it doesn't last long but there's nothing better than the carpet of blue/purple when you find it. I still need to figure out where that is, local to us, but wanted to capture a solo one too. Such beautiful flowers. I'm loving all the purple shades this week.
