Hi all,

I've just found another three to post.. so I thought I'd put them in a new thread to save diverting from the last one.. I know, but it'll be my first multi-posting faux pas here..

I sort of promise not to post any more from last week.. but if I do, I won't start another new thread.. John..

Locations..

First two, on a walk up to a tarn above Grasmere, and the last from the walk above Brothers Water (as mentioned previously)

There were Foxgloves everywhere, and a few, such as the one above, had been following the light around whilst growing and ended up in odd shapes.

Feel free to comment as always..

Cheers

Liam

Love the colours of those foxgloves, Liam. Is it me or are the foxgloves up there a better colour than our southern ones?

Hi Tim,

no, it's not you, they are a different colour, or shade anyway. Some are almost iridescent in their pinkness.. They really stand out. I kept taking photos of them.

Cheers

Much prefer the water in these, it looks like water and not thick fog!

I've taken lots of foxglove photo's too, and our welsh ones are better than yours!

OK, So, can the welsh foxgloves hold a candle to these? Only had my Optio WPi with me when I found these. It's a bit late in the year, this far south, for better displays.
