Gently down the stream

ol' blue skies

Just can't get enough of blue skies at the moment (sorry everyone not from this wet island, you must think we're crazy!).

This morning I went up to the butterfly reserve on Morn Hill. I used to walk here - well, years ago, I suppose you'd say - when it first started, and apart from the fact it overlooks a deep valley I always thought it was rather a boring piece of land. But since I last came it's been loved and looked after and is now an amazingly rich and beautiful wildflower hillside. I counted at least 20 flowers currently out that I knew and there were many more grasses and plants I didn't. I also saw butterflies and moths, of course, though nothing I haven't also seen elsewhere this year. And I noticed they are cutting the rape crop I blipped from the other side of the valley back in April.

Anyway, this is scabious - I purposely didn't get in too close as I wanted to retain the sense of the big skies and rolling hills behind - it almost felt like prairie.

Busy day ahead with lots of stuff and a nice supper with a friend tonight at the ever gorgeous Corner House. Enjoy your day, lovely peeps..
