We are in-between cottage guests for a couple of days, and yesterday morning I slowed down a bit and came across these bluebells in a wood! It is good sometimes to enjoy a quiet time before the storm :)
This weekend will be one of the busiest on the fair calendar, and the guests who should have come have had to postpone to July! So I shall be tearing around Normandy alone picking up goodies as I go!
A carpet of bluebells in a wood works for me, every bit as well as a field of lavender. A sight I remember from my childhood; I just love the luxuriant colour, a real carpet of flowers, hope you enjoy them too.
PS. I have just realised that this is the 800th post I have published on this little blog -
whoever would have thought I had so much to say!! Bonne journée mes amis.

You just took my breath away Sharon. What beautiful images. I'd never leave that wood if it was close to my home. Can't wait for spring over here in NZ. Thank you for that! Lovely way to finish my Friday. All the best.

ReplyDeleteA bluebell wood must be one of the most beautiful sights in the world. How odd that I've never thought of them growing anywhere but England:)

Just google the name of Eger is worth!It is the centre of very good and heavy red wine.regards from the Great Hungarian Plain, Dorka www.dorottyaudvar.co.hu

ReplyDeleteThanks for keeping us connected to your beautiful corner of the world through your delightful blog. Every post is appreciated. I'm glad you got to slow things down a bit and stumble across this bit of magic. I'm inspired and think there may be a bluebell painting in my future. Hope the busy weekend has it's share of beauty, too! XO
ReplyDeleteImagine...800 posts! WOW, I am working towards 200. The state flower of Texas is the blue bonnet that grow wild this time of year. Beautiful blue carpets mingled with weeds as far as thee eye can see. You would think someone planted them that way!
