Bluebell Woods (+ 2 PiPs)

The epitome of the English countryside. We might get out today to visit a bkuebell wood, but the weather doesn't look very promising at the moment.

I was lucky with the weather that morning Amelia...........it clouded over in the afternoon and the wind picked up, but I was back indoors well before that!

Thanks for your visit and comments............I hope you also manage to find some bluebells,.

Wow,das sind richtig schöne Naturteppiche,die die Natur da verlegt hat lieber Keith,da legt man sich gerne rein,ein schönes Gebiet hast du wieder aufgesucht und wurdest mit solch tollen Anblicken verwöhnt,deine schönen Aufnahmen schaut man sich gerne länger an :))

Wünsche noch einen schönen Nachmittag,liebe Grüße Güni :))

Thank you Güni.........I'm lucky to have these woods pretty close to where I live and also that I know where the bluebells nearly always grow. I visited here a few weeks back but I was too early ........this time I was much more successful.

Glad you like these images............and thank for your kind words. Much appreciated.

Das ist toll,dass du so ein schönes Waldstück in der Nähe hast,ich kenn es von meinen,man weiß mit der Zeit,welche Motive zu den Jahreszeiten man bekommt lieber Keith :))

Wünsche noch einen schönen Abend,liebe Grüße Güni :))

All the best TOZ

Thank you TOZ, glad you like it. I hope your search is successful and if so, I look forward to some photos.

Mon chien serait heureux de courir dans cet herbage coloré. En ce moment partout en France, tous les chiens doivent être tenus en laisse, même dans les forêts. Et ce, jusqu'à la fin du mois de juin. Cette règlementation qui date des années 1950 (et dont on ne parlai plus) est destinée à protéger les oiseaux qui nichent. Ça me fait sourire car les chasseurs ont massacrés la plupart des oiseaux qui vivaient dans la forêt où je promène mon chien quotidiennement. Ils ont même tué le dernier couple de coucous qui nichaient ici. Pour le plaisir car je ne vois qui mange du coucou ? Donc, mon chien est libre de courir dans sa forêt. Il tente bien d'attraper de temps en temps un écureuil, mais le rongeur est toujours plus rapide. Même malchance pour les chevreuils ou les sangliers. Une fois, il a attrapé une petite souris que j'ai pu sauver. Mon chien de chasse ne chasse finalement rien. Et c'est tant mieux

We don't have such a law here but there are notices in this woodland asking people to keep their dogs on a lead at all times. Not all dog walkers comply though, which is annoying.

Generally speaking we don't have bird hunters (or any other type) in England, although there are organised pheasant shoots on private land and there are issues with people killing birds of prey (mainly gamekeepers for big estates).

Personally I can't understand why anyone would want to kill animals for sport or fun..!!

A beautiful natural carpet, Keith !

Thank you Ulrich...........I'm pleased you think so.

Joli tapis bleu!!

Three great bluebell captures here. We saw some at Fountains the other week but this is far more intense. Very well done.

Maybe we will see some up north soon. Cheers. Herb

Thank you so much Jean-louis.......appreciated.
