The beauty in the everyday....

Apple blossoms

Nom nom nom ...

I was rejoicing in the wildflowers bursting out everywhere this morning and noticed this in a shady spot.

It's an early purple orchid, apparently.

Tired of bluebells?? 💙💜💙

Tired of life perhaps?? 🤔

Cowslip I think, one of two that have self seeded themselves in my front garden, they're to nice to pull up and have been giving us lovely spring colour for a few years now.

That looks like a fancy primrose of some sort..
Very pretty but not a cowslip.

Same family though of primrose or primulaceae.

These are 'true' cowslips.

Never certain if the name is down to their supposedly looking like cows lips...

Or whether they made bovines fall over 🤔

It looks like its they're a wild primrose, lovely plants, a nice bit of early season colour, and even better they self seeded in and didn't cost me a penny.

Spiderlings in the morning sun, getting ready to venture out into the wider world.

Irresistable wiggly tin shed in my local mechanics yard..

I wonder what treasure is hidden inside 🤔

I always find something so eerie and mysterious about walking into thick mist or fog. It was lovely on a deserted beach first thing this morning

Oooh yes lovely.
So peaceful, it's as if, for a moment, the rest of the world doesn't exist ..

Since I am not au fait with flowers I have no idea what these are called. They belong in a neighbouring garden and have gone under his shed and a fence and leaked into my now disused greenhouse. I keep meaning to dig up some from outside and relocate some of them but never got round to it.

These are the only ones in flower just now as the outdoor ones are later. Thanks for the name.
