gorgeous yellow buttercups....

I love how abundant the buttercups are this year, fields of gold all over the place, I don't remember them being like this for quite a while...

Bit grey today so it's all quite dark... still!

I was reading through blips like you do and came across this poem...can't remember the blipper (sorry) but I love it. Hope you do too :)

Wilfred Thorley (1878 - 1963)

There must be fairy miners
Just underneath the mould,
Such wondrous quaint designers
Who live in caves of gold.

They take the shining metals,
And beat them into shreds;
And mould them into petals,
To make the flowers' heads.

Sometimes they melt the flowers,
To tiny seeds like pearls,
And store them up in bowers
For little boys and girls.

And still a tiny fan turns
Above a forge of gold;
To keep with fairy lanterns,
The world from growing old.
