Photographs from July

We had some wonderful summer days.  I am posting this selection of photographs in October, on a still calm and dreich day, and these photographs remind me of summer, like a dream now.

Wild flowers in May

I am trying to catch up on the blog.. too much going on!! 

I wish I had done this throughout the summer as it makes a good pictorial of what flowers we have seen during May.   It is not complete, as I have missed out Greater butterfly orchid and Fragrant orchid, but they might appear in June's photographs.
