Yesterday was a trip into the past but today I have decided to get back to nature.
Driving to work this morning the sky was so dull, grey and featureless and as the day wore on it didn't get any better. In fact outside right now it is positively miserable and I needed to find something to bring a little colour to my day.
Looking at these pictures maybe I have tipped the balance to a colour overload but what colours... I love wild flower meadows and this small swathe of wildflowers while not quite a meadow (it actually bordered the approach to Brick Croft nature reserve) is certainly a welcome sight today.
Capturing good pictures of butterflies requires a lot of patience, and the shots above are no exception. The problem with getting these however was that it was in a tropical house and so incredibly hot and humid.
I was surprised to see this spread of wild flowers in the zoo but I know you will agree this is a spectacular display.
I was going to say here are some shots of an English wildflower meadow but as it happens it's in North Wales, but that's just a detail. What really matters is that this is a beautiful place with such a variety of wild grasses and flowers.
Having posted a beautiful cottage garden yesterday I thought I would follow up with a similar theme and some lovely spring colour, so I have chosen a selection of different wild flowers for your enjoyment today.
I know that the last picture is of Bluebells in a woodland glade, however I have no idea what the other two plants are so if you can help identify them I'd be very grateful. Please leave a comment below if you know what they are.
