Popcorn & I had a few walks in the Spring and this is a selection of photo's, taken in several areas.
 |
| A popular bridleway and one my wife & I used to enjoy walking along. |
 |
| Cherry Blossom alongside the bridleway. |
 |
| Not sure, but I believe this is apple blossom. |
 |
| Cowslips. |
 |
| This field is always full of the Cowslips a week after I took this photo they were abundant. |
 |
| Bluebells, always a welcome sight in Springtime. |
 |
A barn up on the Wolds, I know a pair of Barn Owls nest in here most years.
You can see the square hole the farmer has left in the top of the door. |
 |
| Farm buildings in the valley here. |
 |
| I have several favourite trees and this is high up on my list. |
 |
| My assistant Popcorn waiting patiently. |
 |
| A view across the Wolds. |
 |
| A young woman jogged by, just ahead of her is a large bank of wild Garlic. |
 |
Wild Garlic, it spreads rapidly so don't try it in your garden! The smell of garlic here
was very strong. |
 |
| Garlic flowers. |
 |
| A few houses nestled into the hillside on the Wolds. |
 |
| An old quarry, redundant now for many years. |
 |
| I love to photograph old doors with the paint peeling off, lots of character. |
 |
In the foreground is the old weighbridge, used to weigh the lorries carrying limestone
away from the quarry. |
 |
Back out on the Wolds now and another of my favourite trees. Still bare and leafless but I
enjoy the skeletal shape of trees at this time of the year. Alongside it is a field of Rape, grown
for it's seed. A very productive crop for the farmers and grown in abundance all over
Lincolnshire. On a hot evening the smell from the flowers can be overpowering.
Thank you for visiting my blog, please leave a comment.

Oh David. Firstly, what a fabulous new header photo. It is so rich, so powerful and quite wonderful. I love it! As we go into autumn, it’s lovely to see your spring photos and gives me a lift to know we’ll see these beautiful blossoms and vivid greens again in a few months. I also have a thing about old doors and yours here are beautiful with their peeling paint and subtle hues. I enjoy autumn colours too but I’m always a little sad knowing summer is over. Thank you for these glorious images!
ReplyDeleteThank you Val for your encouraging remarks, very much appreciated.
DeleteThe Autumn header was taken in 2019, which was the last year that we had a really colourful Autumn. I enjoy the colours but, like you I think it signals the end of summer. It's a bitter sweet season, and makes me sad. Autumn was my wife's favourite time of year. David.
