Spent some of this afternoon sitting and looking at this 😊

A peak on Dartmoor, looking beautifully rugged in the sunshine.

I love the combination of gorse and heather on Dartmoor at the moment. #Dartmoor

Bright yellow heather and maroon and reddish-purple gorse growing together and looking absolutely stunning on Dartmoor.

Please can someone tell me what the flowers growing next to this bluebell are. I have lots in the garden suddenly. I love them. I’ve tried googling them but I’m still not sure.#Wildflowers #gardens #gardeners

A bluebell growing in my garden with a very pretty, unknown plant with bluey purple spikes of flowers. I want to know what they are. Can anybody tell me?

Some pictures from beautiful local garden #SW #SWEnglad #garden #trees #nature #beauty

A sunny day in a beautiful SW England garden. A stream flows by and there is pink blossom on the trees.

Under a tree little pink, star shaped flowers carpet the ground.

The new leaves on the trees are almost white in the sunshine.

A view across the grass alongside a stream, with all the fruit trees in blossom.

#SWUK #garden A garden with a river running through it. #hiddengem

This beautiful garden has a river running through it with woods in the distance. The trees are bare, but just about to get their spring leaves.

#SWUK #garden This walled garden is beautiful and the blossom will be out very soon. I’ll be going back! #hiddengems

A corner of an old walled garden with veg beds and fruit trees. It will be full of blossom in a couple of weeks time.

People can be very hard to understand sometimes 😳. Give me straightforward dogs and cats anyday!

Whilst it rains sideways, I’m thinking of summer days and stretchy cats. Both missed.

A Wiltshire view in November several years ago.

A panoramic picture of November trees in different shades of yellow and red against a blue sky with a few pink-tinged clouds. A little old house sits amongst the trees in the centre of the photo.

We have snow! It’s a rare event here. You can barely see it, except in the spider’s webs on the fir tree. But I’m excited 😂🤣⛄️

A rare event of snow. Hardly visible except on the spiders’ webs in the fir tree.
