Taken in Ashridge forest, Hertfordshire, England. The forest where many scenes from Harry Potter were filmed. Seas of blue bells as far as the eye can see.

Happy Bokeh Wednesday !

A shot from my garden, a bud of the Allium, you probably know them as those tall green stems with big purple balls on top. At five pounds per bulb they are not cheap, think how happy I was to see 40 (yes 40) of them appear in the garden of the new house over the last few weeks!

Happy Bokeh Wednesday !

In fact it's been a pretty dry April but as the month draws to a close the new leaves of Japanese Acer begin to unfold and the rain returns.

Once upon a time Saturday on Flickr was "Purple Saturday", not sure if that tradition still exists but here's a purple pic on Saturday anyway !! :-)

Oilseed rape seed in a field near my house. All you can see when you drive around are seas of yellow. The word "rape" as applied to oilseed crops is derived from the Latin word rapum that means turnip. The oil produced is a lean vegetable oil which can also be used as biodiesel.

Hapy Bokeh Wednesday ! ;-)
