Bluebell woods: pictures not words

Isn't it amazing how well that lilac-blue goes with the acid green of new leaves?! Nature always knows better than we do.

Beautiful pictures, Eliane.

I was thinking just the same thing when I was taking the photos. Glorious colours, and if anything better because it wasn't sunny. Do you have good bluebell woods up your way?

A bluebell wood makes ones heart soar - hard to find words to describe its ......fabulousness?

Time to go and seek one out.

We found some lovely bluebell woods this weekend near Rievaulx Abbey... wild garlic at the bottom of the hill and bluebells at the top. Really striking, and quite a contrast in smells!

GardenGirl - I've very fond memories and some lovely photos and film of Rievaulx taken in the early 70s on one of our family holidays in Yorkshire. A stunning setting.
