Continuing our bluebell walk in West Dorset …
we decided not to walk up to Thorncombe Beacon, but could see others enjoying the view
a perfect day for a paraglide
Click on any picture to see it larger.
We climbed the hill and over the stile
to see yet more spectacular views to the East towards Portland
and as we turned inland, Westerly views towards Devon
(Click on the link for other good walking routes along the coast path.)
We took time to smell the blossom in the hedgerow, I think this is a wild plum
we must return in September to find out.
Through the gate, with a look over our shoulders at that glorious scene, saying farewell to the sea we continue
onward through more bluebell woods
to marvel at the way the light plays through the trees,
joining Cee’s Flower of the Day
and no matter how often I see it, my heart never fails to skip and dance when, standing in deep shade, and spying a shaft of sunlight bathing a patch of bells in silver light
Magic all around us
A time to stop and breathe and notice how all the senses are tingling with pure joy, blessings counted, smiles exchanged between friends and for at least the hundredth time we say how lucky we are to live here……
Such beautiful places for stunning photos – thank you, Sandra!!

Idyllic! And don’t you just love stiles??! Although we encountered a few on my one and only trip to England and Wales, I’ve only ever found one where I live. Keep these beautiful pictures coming!

We don’t have bluebells here in New Jersey, but we do have buttercups and daisies and other fine wildflowers. I would love to stand in a sea of bluebells though…I like the photograph of the sea through the frame of the gate. Beautiful.

It all looks so lovely, especially the bluebells and the sea. I am too late for bluebells but I must include going to the beach when I give myself a ‘holiday week’. Thanks for sharing.

Isn’t it breath-taking! Blue skies and spring green positively glows when you throw in a that purple-blue haze from the bluebells. It just takes the breath away! And the sea – any where I see it I feel at home! That’s lifted my day – here winter has settled in and it has been sleeting off and on all day. No colour out there for us on our walk this morning 🙂

It makes me so happy to bring you some Spring green on your sleety day. I feel the same way about the sea and could never live far from it. Stay cosy Pauline – a good day for creativity perhaps??

I made one card then hunkered down with my fur babies under a cosy rug and got the crochet hook out…….. We spent all afternoon this way and they are still snoozing!
