Bluebell Woods

After an exceptionally cold December we had the mildest February for decades and a very dry, sunny March. As a result the bluebells have flowered a couple of weeks early this year. Sheltered beneath the newly forming canopy in the dappled shade these delicate little bell shaped flowers create a sea of shimmering blue. I love to wander through the ancient bluebell woods near my home they really epitomize the English countryside in Spring.
