Sheps Wildflowers

Thanks @Scroggin ...yes, it's the Canon and it's the first I've used it in ages and the first time on plants and flowers.

 

A few more from this morning...mostly taken with the 300mmf4LIS.

Cuckoo Flower



Garlic Mustard



Red Dead Nettle



Red Campion

 

@Sheps are these photos taken now or ones that you have done through the year? Reason for asking is that loving wildflowers we haven't seen so many of them in flower as yet. Superb photos.

 

Good evening @On the Levels yes, they were all flowering this morning and a few others too.

And thanks very much, pleased you like them.

Red Campion photographed this morning.

Images taken with the 70-200mmf4LIS which is very quickly becoming my favourite lens.

 

Amazing pictures, such clarity...

 

Thanks very much @DiggersJo pleased you like them.

I noticed the Cardamime starting to open around here yesterday. Mine isn't quite at that stage in your pix @Sheps , but shouldn't be too long. I love it.
It was nice to see the celandines opening in the sun too, especially in the really shady bit near the farm. They get virtually no sun because of the site, and it's only because the trees have no foliage yet, so it allows some sun through onto the bank/wall they're on. The ones in more open sites have been opening since earlier in the month. I even spotted some native bluebells starting to make an appearance in some areas. The Spanish ones are getting a grip though.

 

A selection of Bluebells from this morning.

As per...taken with 70-200mmf4LIS

 

Lovely one with the bee on the bluebell. Fabulous colour.

 

Thanks very much @On the Levels

The bee was fast asleep and probably very cold as it was -1°c at the time.

 

Amazing photos. The details are stunning.

 

Ta very much @Penny_Forthem
