The sun illuminates light green Sycamore leaves on a dark branch that runs horizontally at the top of the frame. Other trees are blurred out as the sun’s rays distorts the background. Camera: Canon EOS400D digital. 50mm lens.

In the woods, the trees are telling us that winter is behind us. The light is getting through and colour is flooding back into our world. #Stunday #EnglishWoods #Spring #Trees

Slim English Bluebell flowers, that appear almost purple, droop from their green stems, the reds turned up like frilly dresses. The background is green but blurred in close-up mode. Camera: iPhone 15 Pro

News from the frontline of the #BlueBellBeat. A grim day in south-east England with cold winds, sleety rain and sudden shafts of sun with patches of blue sky amid scudding slate clouds but on the woodland floor the blue army is still advancing.

Excellent Graham!! ☺️👍🏼💙

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.

Stop Press announcement: also seen in the same vicinity as the Bluebells reported on our front page, there are Wood Anenomes. Another indicator of ancient woodland status for this forest.
Double hooray. 🤍

White, starlike Wood anemones sit on a bed of green leaves on the woodland floor in early morning sunshine. A fallen branch rests above the flowers and in the background the trees are gradually beginning to turn green as the leaves form. A patch of blue sky is seen in the top right through the bare branches of other trees.

Just before the bluebells, there is a carpet of Wood anemones in some of the older sections of one our local woods, signalling that these are Ancient Woodlands.

Enjoying walks in "our" woods along the lane. One of my favourite places, especially at bluebell time #bluebells #walking #nature #englishwoods #oxfordshire
