Very nice Hazel. I went up to the Peak District last week and found the Heather there to be very dull. We reckon its due to lack of rain for so many weeks. Your photo is lovely

@shepherdmanswife

Thank you - on a cloudy day I tweaked the 'film' settings from standard to vivid and also had to use the rear articulated camera screen as I can no longer get down to heather level (!), the 50mm portrait lens did a good job,

Would love to have seen this carpet!
