Beautiful Lake

This beautiful lake…

…is less than an hours walk from where I live!

Wild Roses?

I think these are wild roses…

…but I’m not 100% sure. Do you know?

Beautiful Colours

Nature displays herself in such beautiful colours.

I never cease to be inspired by her amazing dress sense.

Unusual Plant Seeds

While out walking I couldn’t help but notice these unusual plant seeds scattered in clumps on the ground.

I have no idea what plant they’ve come from. Do you have any idea?

Walking in the Woods

Walking in the woods today and noticing this May blossom…

…a sure sign that the warmer weather has arrived.

Nature’s Mandala

Walking back to the car from the station this afternoon…

…I couldn’t resist this shot of nature’s mandala – the dandelion seed head.

View From The Top

This photo of the view from the top of the hill…

…doesn’t really do justice to the beauty of the scene. You had to be there!

Orchids In The Woods

I have a soft spot for orchids…

…and these yellow dead nettles, also known as yellow archangels, look just like orchids in the woods to me!

Babbling Stream

The noise from this babbling stream…

…was louder than anything else in the woods.

Reflections

The reflections on this lake make it look so tranquil…

…but what the photo doesn’t show is the swarm of gnats hovering above it!.
