Flowers past

Wednesday 2nd June 2010

Just thought I'd post a few images taken only 2 1/2 weeks ago, though for anyone who has, over the last few days, stepped into a woodland, you'd think they were done a month ago!  It doesn't feel like spring anymore.  I just spent the afternoon in an almost impenetrable woodland where, 3 weeks ago, bluebells flourished and now, wild grasses a foot or more high are rapidly taking over.  Puddles are still evident in the shaded parts after the rainfall 3 days ago and the wonderful lime-green vibrancy of a woodland in April and May is turning a deep, depressing green.  The claustrophobia of a broadleaved woodland in summer is nearly here.  It'll be the marshes for me over the next few months!
