Flashback

The title of this image has nothing to do with the subject, more the experience I went through to get it.

I was very close to the ground setting up this shot and the midges were like nothing I have ever experienced before. They were driving me mad. Then a buzzy insect thing started flying around my ear. I kept wafting it away but it kept returning and gave me a flashback to an early experience that has been buried deep for many years in my sub concious. As a young child, probably about 6 years old, I poked a stick in a hole in the ground. The hole turned out to be a wasps' nest and I was badly stung with numerous stings to my scalp and neck. I didn't feel very well afterwards! ;-( It is a long time since I thought about that day!

I'm not sure if this is a native or Spanish bluebell.

I know I am behind with everyone elses uploads - sorry! I'm away this weekend but then I have some time off work so I am looking forward to enjoying looking at your images then.
