Flowers
02nd June 2015
This year the blossom on the trees and wildflowers in the fields have been excellent mainly due to the mild winter and spring we've had. If you have hayfever you may have noticed this already !. I've noticed it because the car is constantly covered in a yellow powder. The rapeseed fields in Northumberland are spectacular if not a little smelly at the moment. Some fields and roadside verges have been taken over by red campion which adds a bit of colour to the landscape. I have added a picture of recent trip to Bamburgh of one of the nearby fields which contains a mix of rapeside and campion.
I have also been out looking at the Bluebells at various places in Cumbria and my favourite wood at the Old Naddle Bridge at Burnbanks near Hawsewater always provides a beautiful display.
At Orton Scar there is a small display of Common spotted Orchids on the limestone pavement. I have been up three times so far to take pictures without success. Hopefully once the windy weather subsides I might try to get some pictures of these
