Cinco de Mayo walk

5 May 2014

It was a beautiful day, so I headed out for a walk.  I started down what I like to call the River Walk along the River Bleng; I join it at Wellington and then walk down it until it joins back up with the road.  Then I cross and can either head back to the cottage for a 1 hour walk, or head up a bridleway towards a farm.

After a while the walk approaches a bridge; not sure what stream or river this one is (it's not Bleng).

 The Blue Bells are starting to go, but there is still lots of color.

 Along the way you can see towards the East, over at Scafell.  

 Bossy and her pals decided they were interested in what I was doing...

 I caught those forest violets in the base of the tree.  The tree is quite healthy.

 That would make a nice home, but right now it's some sort of farm building.  Probably over a hundred years old.

 These two little ones kept acting like they were going to bolt.  Probably lambed within the last week.

 And the Blue Bells up close.

Until next time...

Crocus in full bloom

8th March 2014

So a couple of weeks later I walked the same route and this time all the Snow Drops are gone, but the Crocus are really crocusing.  Both purple and white ones (never noticed white ones before).

Okay, I really like this one of the Daffodils.  They were just starting to bloom.

Until next time...

Snow Drops and Crocus

22 February 2014

Okay, this is a bit late for a posting, but work, Suzanne's visit and other things kept pushing this task, albeit minor, to the back burner for some time.

At any rate, I was out on a walk that day knowing the Snowdrops were on their last legs; and knowing the Crocus were starting to show.

 

 

 

Most of those were in the graveyard of the church around the corner.  The last two are about a mile away along a walk I like doing.  All of them are wild.

Until next time...
