If you go down to the woods today... by judithg

If you go down to the woods today...

Went in search of bluebells but took a short cut and missed them by mistake. Still the oxlips are doing well... Thanks for the lovely response to yesterday's euphorbia. Apologies for two plant shots in a row - I'll try something new tomorrow.
A lovely woodland shot with the moss. Yes, I saw some cowslips today but didn't have my camera with me - perhaps tomorrow. No need to apologise - it's that time of year.

The spring flowers seem to have survived the cold snap, your picture is lovely
April 5th, 2012  
What a lovely composition - really pretty

Love the tones but I can't get those bluebells out of my head, you flower tease you :P
April 5th, 2012  
still pretty in the woods with oxslips and moss Are your bluebells out? When I looked at the weekend ours were just green leaves thinking about appearing. And the cowslips have been trampled on by horses.

Judith I don't think you need to apologise! A lovely delicate composition
set off by the logs in the background. Coincidentally, I saw cowslips (what's the difference I wonder) in a garden today and might go back tomorrow with Jinks and take a shot of them.

Love these oxlips & that mossy stone is very pretty ! We don't mind your plant pic as you are very god at them !! No mention of your shoulder, I hope you had a reasonable night !

@happypat Not happy with my shoulder Pat but I am sleeping better - possibly related to the medicinal bottle of vin rouge I opened!

@quietpurplehaze Had a big 365 discussion about this last year Hazel - cowslips are smaller and yellower!

@johnnyfrs LOL! I'll find some concrete for you tomorrow!

We have these in our garden. Thought they were a different form of cowslips as the flowers are larger. Thanks for enlightening me and lovely shot btw xx

Lovely spring shot =)

No need to apologise for two plant shots in a row. Especially when they are so lovely.
April 5th, 2012  
Very pretty. OK I thought they were tall primroses...great to find them growing wild.
April 5th, 2012  
Yes, don't apologise. These are so pretty. :)
April 5th, 2012  
ahhh spring..yes.. gorgeous
April 5th, 2012  
I'd love to see oxlips growing in the wild, so pretty! The mossy rock really adds to the picture.
April 5th, 2012  
The moss and the softness of the flowers are beautiful!!!! I'm looking forward to a bluebell shot....I miss seeing them
April 5th, 2012  
I love your flower pictures.and the mossy rock is lovely
April 5th, 2012  
Lovely little nodding heads they have!
April 5th, 2012  
What a gorgeous Spring shot!
April 5th, 2012  
@judithg That's the spirit !! If you can't beat it drown it !!!
April 5th, 2012  
hey 'judith two plants'...nothing wrong with two plants in a row, especially when they are cool pictures
April 5th, 2012  
Very nice, very luxuriant.
April 6th, 2012  
No apologies, you can show me 365 plant shots and I wouldn't mind....:)
April 6th, 2012  
Beautiful. I love plant shots-- you can keep them coming :)
April 6th, 2012  
Simply magical...woods, moss, flowers...the only thing missing are fairies.
April 6th, 2012  
You have flowers I have never heard the names of. Adds something new to why did the bull rush, to stop the cow slip falling for the ox lips
April 6th, 2012  
I love them.
April 6th, 2012  
@judithg Thank you! We used to go out on a Sunday as children with our parents to collect cowslips for my grandmother to make wine - she made wine out of lots of different fruit and veg.
April 6th, 2012  
Lovely shot!
April 6th, 2012  
This is so lovely. For some reason it made me think of Jemima Puddle Duck. Don't ask me why!

I just love spring wildflowers - especially in the Michigan woods where I live. I am currently in Colorado (western US) where it is dry and brown. I'm hoping I haven't missed all of Spring by the time I return home. Great shot with so much "Spring" detail - flowers, moss, woods - keep the flower shots coming!
April 6th, 2012  
@peterdegraaff There was a big discussion last year about slips and lips with these flowers - if only I could remember the outcome!
April 6th, 2012  
superb spring shot - no snow down there then?
