A shady earth path running between tall thin trees that are just coming into leaf. The sun is filtering through the branches creating shadows on the path, which rises to the top of a hill and then disappears down into the greenery beyond. To the left a fence of wooden posts and wire mesh marks the edge of farmland that runs down a steep slope. On the right a steep bank that has some wildflowers, including English Bluebells, climbs further up the hill. Camera: Canon EOS400D digital

Thank Goodness It’s #ForestFriday. For many it’s also a holiday, so no excuses, off we go Into the Woods (2014) #AlphabetChallenge #WeekMforMovies … I’m shameless, really. 😁🌲🌳🪾

The delicate white petals of a Wood anemone with light green striations opens to the morning sun, providing a backdrop for the light yellow stamens. The woodland behind is coming to life with green leaves among the tree trunks. Blue sky can be seen above the tree canopy. The woodland floor is covered by more anemones.

Earlier I posted a photograph of a sea of thousands of Wood anemones in a local ancient woodland near our home but in close-up they are equally impressive.
