We’re lucky to have so much woodland here where I live. In recent weeks I’ve taken my camera round and about to capture fresh new growth emerging – pungent wild garlic, delicate wood anemones .. and last of all, the trees’ fresh new growth, optimistically unfurling from their tights buds of winter.
For Leanne’s Monochrome Madness #35 – Woods, Rainforests and Bushland.
Over and out. Nothing now (maybe a Virtual Postcard?) until the back end of next week. Even commenting and reading your posts may be a bridge too far with my phone as my only tool.
From Pyrenees to Pennines 
Oh that is lovely Margaret. Loving the flowers in the midst of the forest.

We have beech woods above our house which wild garlic seems to love. It’s a late spring treat!

How lucky to live somewhere near there, it looks beautiful Margaret. The flowers look incredible under the trees, what sort are they? The only flowers we get are weeds.

Wild garlic and the earlier wood anemones – bluebells too, are a feature of our woodlands.

It’s not a break Sue. I’ve never worked so hard in my life. Housekeeping, shopping, cooking,school run, helping with M’s nitty gritty tasks before new business opens tomorrow ….
