The sun came out after lunch so I decided to let off steam by taking a wander through the woods. I wanted to find some fir cones to add to my fernery (my latest project). I saw the elusive pine marten, a weasel like animal, but I wasn't quick enough with my camera. Luckily the wild flowers and butterflies didn't move so fast.

If I could find wild flowers like this in our hedgerow at the moment I would also feel more relaxed, but up North here it is still far too cold.
ReplyDeleteIt's been a cooler than usual Spring here this year so everything is a bit late.
DeleteIt is going to be 40c here to day, the end of the wild flowers for the summer.
ReplyDelete40 degrees? Wow, that's hot!
DeleteJust seen a small Blue Butterfly in the orchard.
ReplyDeleteThose little blue guys are very pretty.
