should we have a bluebell competiton? these flowers are only around for about a week every year and our woodlands are absolutely covered with them. Anyone got any photos?
you gotta come down to the sunny south, they are out in full force! here are some I took on my lunch break yesterday... Fantastic. blue as far as the eye can see! there was a constant drone of bee in the woods as well!
Was out taking some photos on saturday and accidentally found myself in a privately owned but very nice bit of bluebell filled wood!
OOOPS! very nice. where was that? i 'stumbled' into a privately owned wood on sunday near Winchester, looked kinda similar to that ( i think it's owned by IBM!) wide angle lens?
all cracking photo's!!! i'm only using my camera to take pictures of old car bits at the moment be glad when the bugger is finished and i have some time again

Well here is one of mine. Photobucket just dont want to play ball with me today! Will try and get the rest up later on!

I wanted to `enter` this when it first appeared and was hoping my local park would have some bluebells in flower by now, but no luck... Went to All Types at the weekend, and happened across some in the castle gardens. Flickr Oh, and none of the pics in the Flickr set are my entry for the May photo comp...
