Mindful moment of calm in a turbulent world brought to by Graham on the #BlueBellBeat at the frontline of the annual invasion that transforms English woodland into a colourful place of magic. Plus bird song & a brief Bee buzz.

Yes Graham 🤩!!

An ancient English wood, birdsong echoing through trees, just beginning to wake from their winter sleep, while the green leaves below are dotted with a few Bluebells, which will soon become thousands, taking over in a riot of purple scent.

Walk now in an ancient English wood … birdsong echoing through trees, just beginning to wake from their winter sleep, while the green leaves below are dotted with a few Bluebells, which will soon become thousands, taking over in a riot of purple scent.

Three frames all shot in the same ancient woodland this afternoon in Surrey near the Kent border in South-east England. In the left photo, white Wood Anenomes form a pattern with the green leaves of their plants with fallen brown autumn leaves filling in the mosaic. A thick-trunked tree stands at the edge of the clearing, part of it covered in green moss. The central photo is a close-up of the downward drooping, bell-shaped English Bluebell flowers - several on one green stem. The ends of each flower turn up in a kind of frilly fringe. The shot is taken into the sinking afternoon sun towards a field and copse of trees that are blurred out in macro mode. The final photo is of a small patch of yellow Lesser Celandine on green leaves, again among fallen leaves, in front of a clump of Bluebells Camera: iPhone 15 Pro

I know you are waiting on news from the front. The real one. The one where with flowers and no killing. So here is the News from the #BlueBellBeat. The #WoodAnenomes are massing and now have added a #Celandine corps. The assault draws nigh. Two weeks?

The slender, drooping bell-shaped flowers of young Bluebells, dotting a forest floor, consisting mainly of the thin green leaves of the native English wildflower but with the odd appearance of a Wood Anemone - also known to inhabit ancient woodland. Camera: iPhone 15 Pro

Breaking news coming in from the frontline after a difficult day when your #BlueBellBeat reporter was out of range but he managed to file this to let us know that the little blue marvels are advancing with their guard of #WoodAnenomes
More dispatches soon …

A bright yellow Lesser Celandine flower, with its eight starlike petals spread to the sunlight and pollen-saturated stamens erect in the centre, sits on a woodland floor among green leaves and in front of English Bluebell blooms (more purple than blue), with its distinctive bell-like, drooping shape, curled up at the end. Camera: iPhone 15 Pro

Yes, we have seen Daffodils, Magnolias and Dandelions, but where is our report from the frontline on the #BlueBellBeat? Relax. Here is a little beauty with a Lesser Celandine trying to upstage it. Not a bad try.
