cow parsley

had a trip to St Albans today to collect some glasses then went on to Heartwood for a walk and to take some photos. I'd been rather belatedly working out some of the menu items of my compact camera so took this to practise with. This was done using the fill in flash, which unlike on my SLR , that can be used at any shutter speed. I've rarely used it but when I've wanted to I've not been able to get the setting right. The meadows are still looking great although the poppies have mostly gone over.
