Spring is my all time favourite season of the year
Everything bursts into life and the days start to shake off the chill of Winter
I love all the Spring flowers but my favourite by far has to be the Bluebell as it carpets the woodland floor and turns everything into an amazing blue
I hope one day to be able to do the amazing colour justice in a photograph
The British Bluebell is so very fragile and easily damaged that once you find a wood full of naturally occurring and unmanaged wild Bluebells like these in the photo above, then it tends to be a closely guarded secret as to it's location
Otherwise they will soon become trampled by many visitors walking through them and allowing their dogs to run through them. We always stick to the footpaths in the woods at this time of the year, any photographs of my dogs are always taken close to the footpath and then the path is edited out
Sadly not everybody is this considerate, instead they traipse through the Bluebells looking for their "perfect spot" to get the best photo they can, without a care for the damage it does to the flowers and spoils the enjoyment and beauty of the Bluebells in the woods for anybody else that follows
Do you have a favourite season and if so what do you love about it the most?

The bluebells are so pretty. I haven't found any near us yet. x
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by is there an arboretum near you, as they manage the woods and encourage the growth of the Bluebells. If there is they're great places to visit for the day, we have one managed by the National Trust near us x
Deletewish I could see a woods full of blubells
ReplyDeleteThey are a sight to behold, I just wish I could do them the full justice they deserve in a photograph for you x
DeleteCute photos, this is my favourite time of the year. I plan on going out this week and taking more bluebell photos
ReplyDeleteThank you for linking up to #MySundayPhoto
I look forward to seeing your pictures, I was so happy to discover you still did the My Sunday Photo series, so many of the blog hops and linkys I used to take part in have disappeared x
DeleteSad that people don't look after bluebells. That said, they are wonderfully photogenic...and everyone;s blogs is full of pics of them at this time of year! #mysundayphoto
ReplyDeleteIt's been a wonderful year for the Bluebells this year :)
DeleteWhat a pretty walk in the woods x #mysundayphoto
ReplyDeleteI'm so lucky to live in an area of outstanding natural beauty here in Surrey x
DeleteWe have several places close to us that have Bluebells and like your doggies, K&K are not allowed to run through them. Occasionally I see a couple on their own when walking and always try to avoid them. This year I have noticed a load of 'Whitebells'. Late Spring/early summer is my favourite time of the year.
ReplyDeleteYes I've also noticed there's a lot more white ones than usual this year, I've no idea why though x
