Five on Friday



The weather has been warmer in the last few days and it was a good opportunity yesterday to take a walk in Ecclesall Wood.  This ancient woodland near where we live covers many acres of mature trees. It's managed by the city council for the benefit of wildlife and as there are public footpaths running through the woods it's a popular place to walk.  It's also well known for the native English bluebells that bloom there in early May and fortunately they're looking at their best right now.







I'm joining the Weekly Meetup for Five on Friday
hosted by Tricky and Carly.  Thank you both
for arranging the linkup.

Floral Bliss #20



Beyond our back garden hedge in the neighbour's garden
 the trees and shrubs are in full flower.
 I only have to walk down the narrow lane by our house
 to see the lilac overhanging our shared wall
 and look up at the golden tassels of laburnum flowers.






I'm linking up with Ritta and Floral Bliss
 to celebrate the beauty of flowers around the world.
