and Yorkshire Dales plus you get a Stone Barn in nearly every field as well.
you have created some beautiful and artistic images, a joy to look at.

STOP IT! really thought i had got IR out of my system but now i have to go and buy another filter after seeing these, 1 is stunning, 3 is second favourite and i will take "either" over "or", the whole set are very good. have you tried "false colour" processing them.

thanks for comments. re the vignette , there is always a lot of clutter around these flowers so it is the simplest way to subdue it i find. Andy, i had 4 or 5 of them fluttering around . have been at this site in the past and saw around a dozen species of butterfly in about 1/2 hr plus some scarce orchids. Derek, the whole common is covered in Cowslips, always is this time of year then the orchids appear, Early Purples and Pyramid, after that a whole variety appear. when the flowers are disappearing you start to see all the different grasses before the cattle are back on to graze it down. i feel so lucky to have this place on my doorstep just to go and wander around when i want to.

on our local Common and Wood but none to be found so made do with what was there. hoping next week will be better after the rain and it will be a sea of Purple Orchids whereas it is a sea of Yellow Cowslips at the moment.

1."White Bluebell" not sure if it the rare British or a Spanish Hybrid



2. and a Pink one



3. one of the last few Wood Anenome



4. Catching the Light



5. Cowslip



6. Tentacles



7 The main reason for the Common having an SSI designation, the Duke of Burgundy Butterfly. a skitish little beggar.

admire your patience as much as your skill in that case

well captured Chris, they are magnificent creatures.

as others have said a great set Derek but i still think you,ve got to be keeping them in the fridge. seriously wish my hands were that steady, well done.
