Can you bear to see more bluebells? These are in our local Northcliffe Park.
Bluebells and wild garlic together always look lovely: white stars in the foreground and a blue haze in the distance.
The green walkway in the picture below is the bridge that golfers use to get from the Northcliffe clubhouse to the greens, across the narrow valley.
My walk was somewhat spoiled by three large dogs, a golden retriever, a black labrador and some other large breed, that were cavorting around in the woods. The lab charged at me and jumped up, nearly knocking me over and scraping his claws down my thigh. It rather frightened me and I dread to think what would have happened if it had rushed at a child. Their owners?... Nowhere to be seen. Grr.
On my way home the sky turned dark as clouds came over and, just after I came inside, there was a sharp, squally shower. I was glad to miss that! So it turned out to be a walk full of blues, in more ways than one.
Again, great pictures! That‘s really bad about the dogs, not only because they scare and possibly attack people walking in the woods, but also because wildlife is very vulnerable this time of year, with babies being born and chicks hatching of groundbreeders and so on.
ReplyDeleteThere are never too many bluebells, I am thinking! Does the garlic have an odor? I remember finding wild onions in the woods and before even getting to see them, we could smell them. But we didn't eat them.
ReplyDeleteYes, the wild garlic do smell very garlicky. When the young leaves appear, quite a few folk go foraging and pick them to eat as greens with a mild garlic flavour. But I don't think anyone eats the wild bulbs.
DeleteI love seeing all of your spring flowers.
ReplyDeleteToo bad about the dogs.
Not tired of them yet!
ReplyDeleteMy mother missed the bluebells when we came to Australia. That was not nice of the owners letting their dogs run free and jump on strangers. Our dogs always have to be on a lead except in dog parks. Lovely photos.
