Back to the meadow

The forecast said we would have a bit of sunshine in the afternoon, so I ventured out to revisit the wildflower meadow. I did have to dash into the wood when it rained but the sun did shine and it was a lovely walk.

As I approached the area that was so impressive earlier last week, I noticed that huge swathes of the area were now covered with stunning daisies and cornflowers, with occasional poppies and deep purple blooms too.

Again, I tried to rise to the challenge and take photos. I'm pleased with some, but none of them have captured the essence of this meadow.

I chose one to try and capture the delicacy of the flowers rather than the overall impression. It is even better in the larger version.

Local blippers, please have a go. This celebration of nature deserves it. (Pipe Hall Farm Woodland Trust, near Lichfield, Staffordshire)
