For months now I've heard people talk in anticipation of seeing the bluebells in spring. This weekend my friend Barb and I headed to Everdon woods to walk the trails and see them. It was stunning!
Each individual flower is beautiful, but the effect of the whole woods in bloom is breath taking - a floral carpet of blues and purples, an indigo river that winds itself amongst the moss covered trees.

The sun shone through the branches, causing dramatic light and shadow. We wandered along trails that lead deeper into the woods, listening to the birds call and the distant sound of sheep in a nearby field. It was a wonderful walk and one I repeated a week or so later with my son Andrew and his girlfriend Annie.
