No bluebells here!

The edge of the woodland gets higher and drier underfoot and the bluebells no longer thrive there. However, simple (daft?) as it may sound, I was really struck by the different stages of developing foliage and couldn't resist a few shots of this very simple but impressive act of nature.

I have been studiously ignoring these potential shots. As you say (and demonstrate) they are quite beautiful and they will run off with you! No.3 is lovely and typifies what is on offer as does 10. Colour, intricacy and bokeh are everywhere and you have presented a wonderful grab bag of it.

Buds opening, fresh green leaves, trees shouting 'my time has come'. And you've managed to get the lighting and backgrounds spot on. What's not to like? I luv 'em all!

Lovely photos and just shows how much beauty nature has to offer
