    [​IMG] Thanks Paladin.. You know how some areas seem to have a nice feel about them?? Well this little bit of the local landscape has that. I love my walks, there is always something to see & usually different everytime...!!! ;) :D
    [​IMG] That is a beauty roders... I always think Swans look so gracefull, yet, somehow sophisticated ... :cool:

    [​IMG] Hi rosietu, No it isn't Meadow sweet it really is Milkmaid, Ladyââ?¬â?¢s Smock or Cuckoo Flower, Cardamine pratensis , the colour is a little pale in the photo. Probably the light. [​IMG]
    [​IMG] This is Meadow sweet.
    Meadowsweet, Filipendula ulmaria...

    Yes paladin, Ed is still with us, he pecked rhonda on the bum yesterday so his time is running out!

    Problem is I can eat/coock anything as long as it does not have a name. Local BIG WIG told me to get it shot yeaterday, may just have to have a word with the gamekeeper..............groan, why does it always have to be me that is the right ba***rd!

    Such a lovely collection of Spring piccies.
    Just thought I would add photo of daughter's new goslings. Was difficult to get a photograph as the parent birds were very protective!

    [​IMG] Rosietu I am sure that once the weather picks up & summer is here you will see plenty of wildflowers & herbs in Dorset. Being as southerly as it is. I take it you are in or near the countryside? I often take my little book when walking to identify plants & flowers Nearly always have to consult it. Even if it is only to check my memory!!!
