A spring afternoon

7 comments

Yesterday was a lovely spring day so on my way to get Bella’s food I made a detour along some local country lanes, and I saw some wild flowers.

Big clumps of Marsh Marigold, Caltha palustris :-

Lots of bright Dendelions, Taraxacum :-

Some lovely patches of Lady’s Smock, Cardamine pratensis :-

And of course the common little Primrose, Primula vulgaris :-

There were lots more species about to flower too, so I’ll be going again soon.

About 5 miles from my village is Carreg Cennen Castle, which I think is creepy so I usually drive past it, but yesterday I took a few photos from various viewpoints :-

You were right to take this detour, Hywel! Those brilliant yellows are enough to make you smile. Lovely to see all the natural wild flowers - I'm not surprised you'll be heading back to capture the ones yet to bloom.
I do love the pics of the castle, not creepy at all! ☺️. I'm going to look it up now. Love a bit of history. Those last few pics are quite atmospheric. Thanks for sharing.

What a lovely walk to go on Hywel and nice to be able to do it on a pleasant day! The lambs are getting quite big now - we didn’t see many tiny lambs in the fields this year because of the wet and cold weather.

Let’s hope for some more dry, warm days to look forward to.
