Stalled

The daily photo blog has stalled somewhat in recent weeks - a variety of reasons!   I've some cathcing up to do, so some backdated posts will be added but there will be a rather large gap in the 365.  I'll either extend for another month or two, or more likely cut back to a weekly picture.

It's not quite what I'd planned or hoped  but time has proven to be short and other 'stuff' has had to take priority.

Ramsons - Take II

105/365

My quest for the 'ideal' Ramson (wild garlic) image is complete.

his one is now also an 18" x 18" canvas which looks rather lovely on the bedroom wall.

Bluebell and Bug

104/365

We have more bluebells along the riverbank this year, much later and set to last longer than usual.  This one seems to be of interest for this little (undentified) bug!

"White"

103/365

I know this butterfly is part of the "Whites" family but butterly identifcation is not my strong point! I think it could be a Green-Veined White...?

Ramsons

102/365

I love this Spring flower, more so than the Bluebells that appear at the same time.  Between them the Ramsons and Bluebells give a stunning display.  The Ramson is distinctive in it's delicate appearance and in it's fragrance, and for me, brings lots of happy memories to the fore.

This could be something for the bedroom wall (recently renovated and very 'fresh')... so I strive for "The Perfect (to me) Ramsons Shot".   Although I like this one, it's not "The One" and so the quest continues.

Moorland Pony

101/365

It might be May but it's still jolly cold up on the moors and a woolly coat keeps out the worst of the weather. Bodmin Moor, North Cornwall.

Stinger!

100/365

Tread carefully, these stingers are particularly vicious - but surprisingly beautiful, in a spikey sort of way!

Nothing to do with Cuckoo's but a pretty little flower that covers our fields at this time of year.

Look Up

This little dog was at the Greyhound Gap Spring Show... Such a little poser who loved to have her picture taken!

Daisy Daisy

94/365

Daisy on the driveway;  complete with dandelions in the background.  The weeds are running riot - but I don't think of a daisy as a weed, I rather like a daisy.

Sing a Song of Sixpence

87/365

But there are no blackbirds baked in this pie!  Just good old chicken and ham.

Despite it being almost May and the dried days, it's still fairly nippy and a comforting pie is very welcome.
