Yesterday I commented that I was a little disappointed at first by the lack of bluebells in Boilton Wood. A few minutes into my walk however I was treated to this beautiful display. The early morning sun cast some gentle shadows and lit up the lovely blue carpet of delicate flowers.
There are so many flowers and so much blue it really lifted my spirits on this wonderful woodland walk.
If you are feeling down, or at a loose end this weekend why not get out into some woodlands wherever you are and see what treats nature has in store for you. I promise that it will be worth the effort.
It has become a bit of a tradition for me now to head out each winter to visit one of the nearby National Trust properties to see the early spread of Snowdrops.
This year I went to Chirk, which as you will know is one of my favourite places to visit and where they have a lovely woodland walk with a mass of Snowdrops.
Over the next few days I will be posting some of the pictures I took recently. Mostly they will be like today of the different varieties of Snowdrop but also some of the other plants and blossoms which hint at the approach of spring.
I hope you enjoy today's pictures, I like the dew on the individual bloom and I love the carpet of flowers and the way they catch the morning light, let me know what you think.
