Up very early this morning and thought I would walk the dogs before it got too hot for them.
Into our local woods I spied such pretty woodland flowers..
So dainty, I just love these.
Pups are having a good cool run, Sluggy likes hiding in the mustard!
Beautiful morning sky!
Creative photography!
Such wonderful light and views too.
I asked GoY a question this morning about this pretty thing, a Spotted Terrestrial Orchid! Great colour, there were a few amongst the Bluebells.
There were these spiderwebs everywhere, think you can see the spider in the middle of this one!
And back home and wanting doggie breakfast!!

Wonderful...you are so lucky Lulu! What a place for a walk on a spring morning! And to see a wild orchid as well....beautiful. I remember the first time I saw one, it was just across the Tay in Fife, just beside the river in a bit of woodland. I'll never forget that! I planted 3 marsh orchid tubers this spring and two of them are pushing up through the soil now. I can't wait to see what colour they will be!

I will have to search out your Blog Hywel, do you remember what it was called!! (The blog that is!)

Lulu....the quietness and beauty that surrounds you must be so pleasurable...and perfect for an early walk with the dogs.
You've sure captured that spider's web...I wonder how long it takes the spider to construct what looks to be a very dense and complicated web? Hope he catches some breakfast after all the hard work!

They were everywhere Wlass, hope she has some good catches too!

Great pics Lulu...best part of the day and nice of you to share your lovely walk. Though it was nice here, there was a bit of a sea fret so not worth taking any photos.
Puppies look happy !
