Bluebells at their best

This really is the time to go down to the woods.  The bluebells are amazing.  They seem to get bluer and bluer as far as the eye can see.  The photo doesn't do justice to the intensity of the colour and the contrast with the emerging bracken.  I've managed two walks to the viewpoint today and this evening's was so peaceful.  It amazes me that I can spend an hour walking on a beautiful evening and not see another soul.  Rosie and I have it all to ourselves. 

Where afar my steps have been,
Blue skies charm the eyes,
And the earth is ever green.
Yet dwelt my heart 'mid Scotland's glens,
Where aye in thought was seen,
The Bluebell, the Bluebell,
Amid the bracken green.
