bluebell wood







The trees are bare, the sun is cold,

And seldom, seldom seen;

The heavens have lost their zone of gold,

And earth her robe of green.

From The Bluebell, Emily Brontë

A quick weekend meet-up, taking advantage of the very short bluebell season.
When I saw Jil's recent post on the bluebell wood I mentioned it to my friends, and one of them said there was a similar one near to him. So, after a seemingly never ending day at work, we took a short car ride, and ended up here.
Bluebells are one of my favourite flowers, up there with daisies and hydrangeas.
What are your favourites?

    Marigolds and carnations. I like all kinds but those 2 are favourites. Those little wild flower type yellow ball guys found in fields are gorgeous too.

    I'm going to be totally cliche and say that roses are my favourite flowers. I'm sure if I was more of a "flower connoisseur" (haha) I'd have a more original preference, but for now ol' faithful will have to do. ;)
    Cute pics!
