Well despite my hayfever being pretty rotten again today I braved the pollen to take the girls for a lovely walk across the buttercup meadows half a mile from where we live. It's my favourite time of year for this walk when the grasses are long and interspersed with buttercups, daisies, cow parsley etc - the source of my pressed flowers mentioned in an earlier post. It is such a peaceful walk and you're always sure to spot some wildlife, be it snails, ducks or moorhens on the Beck or wagtails flitting about above.
I even managed to get the girls to sit still long enough to have their picture taken amongst the buttercups so that I can get a print made for one of my new frames ...
And these beautiful peonies !
The buttercups have been wonderful this year - I have never seen the fields so full of them before. Lovely picture of the dogs with their lolling tongues.
ReplyDeleteHello Fiona, thank you so much for being my latest follower! I haven't blogged for a while, as I am so busy with vintage fairs and commissions lately, but need to get back into it, as i do miss everyone ... you've photographed lots of my favourite things here ... buttercups, peonies, dogs and a vintage car! Take care, love Claire xx
