BLUE AND WHITE..

I have not had a chance to visit Wanstead Park this year to see the 'bluebell wood' . However I found this wonderful clump in the churchyard of St Mary the Virgin on Overton Drive. I was surprised to see a small group of white blooms amongst the blue, any thoughts?

GOODBYE UNTIL...

...next year. I popped over to Wanstead Park last evening to have a look at the bluebell wood, I just hadn't had a chance before. Although past their best I am certainly glad that I went and was able to take these photographs to show you. Going in the evening worked out quite well I was practically alone apart from the odd dog walker and jogger, being in a wood as it starts to get dark certainly makes for a different atmosphere.

ONE LAST BLUEBELL PHOTO...

I know I am a little bluebell fixated lately but I just couldn't resist this picture. As I have said, as soon as you enter the bluebell wood you feel you are surrounded. Where to start ? I thought I would try a panoramic photograph to get as much in as possible and I am really pleased with the result. I think it shows the expanse of the bluebells in conjunction with the forest really well. You can rarely do justice to a panoramic photograph showing it online so next week we will have a copy in the gallery at 'eightyfour'. If you would like to see it in it's full glory please pop in.

IN A WOODLAND GLADE...

While I was walking in the bluebell woods in Wanstead Park I came across this structure.  Made of branches I imagine it's for children to play in, the shape reminded me of a teepee used by the American Indians. Whatever it's use it's a beautiful shape and really fits in well with the woodland.

BLUEBELLS..

Here's another photograph from the bluebell woods. Bit more of a traditional view this time but getting in close works well. I really like the way the colour of the blooms leap out from the background. 

AS REQUESTED..

A follower suggested the Bluebell Wood in Wanstead Park would be worth a visit. Such a profusion it was difficult to know where to start, the pools of dappled light in the cool wood was perfect. I put the camera on the ground and shot upwards, I just really like the looming trees reaching for the sky. Watch out for another picture from the woods tomorrow. A thank you to my follower.
