There’s something about the colour of bluebells which is really difficult to reproduce (at least for me) and the different shades under the trees were amazing.
Heavenly, Mary! Wonderfully uplifting photos and thank you for sharing in the wonder! I love this sea of bluebells and reminds me of many happy meanderings through bluebell woods as young! hugs xx
They were amazing, Annika. Everywhere we turned, there would be another carpet in a different shade of blue. Glad they brought back happy memories for you, too.
They are beautiful this year, Mary. They grow in my garden and are abundant. I have a memory of walking through the woods at Stanley, Perthshire and coming across the river Tay burbling over rocks and the woods were full of bluebells. I couldn’t speak for a some time. ❤
I can imagine how glorious the ones you saw in Perthshire were. I have some in my garden but they are the Spanish variety, not native bluebells. I suppose I should pull them out but they look nice.
OH, I love these! 💙 They always make me think of fairy lanterns (fun to imagine a fairy party) so I am partial to the close-up photos. But I’ve never seen a field of them that large so love those photos, too. I just saw a photo posted of whitebells and they are lovely, too.
I’d never seen them as fairy lanterns but I can definitely imagine a fairy party taking place when we humans have cleared off. The stretch as far as the eye could see – glorious. I have a few white ones in my garden – I think they are mutants although they look pretty 🙂
Thanks, Sally. It seems a few readers have lovely childhood memories of bluebell woods. My sister and I were just saying it’s sad how quickly they go over – but so gorgeous when they are at their best.
Timing is everything with them and extraordinary that they are happy in the shade of trees unlike other plants.. still you captured this year’s crop beautifully…♥
Magnificent! I know some people are worried that the hybrid ones might wipe out the original ones but there’s little chance of that happening in those woods – genuine wild bluebells as far as the eye can see! We have the hybrid ones in the garden and I love them, too. Thanks for these images. xx
I see the hybrid ones are described as an invasive species but the ones in our gardens are lovely – and as we’re no longer allowed to dig up any from the countryside I think we should be allowed to enjoy them. I don’t think the bluebells in the woods near me have anything to fear. Glad you enjoyed the pics.
Such gorgeous scenery! And a happy dog, too. Amazing how nature can soothe the soul. BTW, I also wanted to thank you for the tweet out of my peripheral neuropathy post.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed the photos and yes, nature is very good at soothing the soul. The happy dog belongs to my sister. I’m lucky I didn’t experience peripheral neuropathy when I had chemo though I have a friend who did and even now, months after treatment, still has it. All the best.
