This image of Shipley Country Park in springtime demonstrates the prolific nature of cow parsley. I built the composition around the path through the flowers, which is framed by the large trees on either side. I usually try to crop out the sky altogether on this sort of composition, leaving the brightest part of the image to be taken by the flowers.
A quick wander early Monday morning before the Bank Holiday rush......even 'H' enjoyed the peace of surroundings and seemed to have a 10 minute nap while we took pictures......or maybe that was the 6am alarm call that did it!
is a pink tulip which I found last spring within a local park's garden. Happy Tulip Tuesday!
Thank you so much for stopping by and for leaving me a comment. Have a great day!
Same flower as yesterday's post, but so zoomed in, allowing us to to see the complete flower as it blooms in the patio garden.
Delicate and lovely, these plants will endear the heart of anyone who plants it :)
Pastel and very delicate crabapple blossoms. A whiff of wind and poof, the blooms will disappear.
Thank you for your visits and comments, they're all very much appreciated. Have a great day!
It will be nice to have the springtime back again soon after such a long and dark winter, but here is an abstract photo of an old craggy fence I came across in the countryside a while ago, which I thought made for an interesting picture with it's weathered old iron railings and the landscape around it.
Yesterday we hiked in the woods, looking for some mushrooms and no, we didn’t find any but the woods we’re covered with trilliums. So pretty.
Plants within genus Magnolia produce some of the most stunning floral displays on the planet. Elegant, graceful, so very beautiful.
I came across this breathtaking small tree on a neighbourhood walk last spring and stood enjoying its beauty for a long while. It truly was enchanting.
Named for the French botanist Pierre Magnol (1638-1715). Fossils from the Cretaceous period (145-66 million years ago) have been discovered - so these plants are considered some of the first flowering plants on Earth.

This Great Egret, my first sighting of the season, was hanging out high in this tree for more than two hours on a recent day. It moved about and turned its head slightly from time to time, but never moved from this spot while I was in the area.
This Egret is in breeding plumage, when the lore (or area behind the bill) turns green, and the bird develops long showy plumes, known as aigrettes, on its back side. The aigrettes are somewhat visible here.
Hold onto your hat...do the high five...jump for joy...Springtime is here !!!!
Pushing on that trigger is like pulling magic into my very soul...Darrell.
Have a safe and fabulous spring day !!!!
A large and beautiful doe gave into the overwhelming tug of Springtime Temptation, emerging from the dark woods in the very early evening, to graze on the delicious and tender Alfalfa crop in a farmer’s field nearby.
Alfalfa is a perennial flowering plant in the pea family, widely grown and cultivated throughout the world as an important forage plant for cattle. Most often harvested as hay -- but can also be made into silage, grazed, or fed as greenchop -- it has the highest feeding and nutritional value of all common hay crops and has been cultivated as livestock fodder since at least the era of the ancient Greeks and Romans.
The 16 April 2022 Happy Caturday theme is Springtime/Spring Cats. Somehow with the snow and cold rain ... and busy work schedule... and flirting with freezing temps, I did not get much springtime cheer from Tikki. Still I decided to try to share the new attempt rather than one of my past joy of springtime pix. Hurray for periwinkle (vinca) and tulips.
