English Meadow

I've had a truly wonderful holiday in Spain with my family - already missing them!

We got up at 4 am this morning to catch our early morning flight, so I was home by about 9:30 am! I love being able to use a small airport and only having a short journey time either end of the flight :) I was picked up from the airport by lovely friends, who then invited me round to share their Sunday roast this evening - what a great welcome home!

I love being on holiday but I also love coming home. You can't beat the English countryside and this meadow seems to me to be the epitome of 'Englishness'. It shows a green-winged orchid - rather beautiful and not seen so very often. I rather liked the smudgy effect created by shooting through the grass at ground level - and yes, I found myself lying on the ground again for this shot, sleeves rolled up so as not to dirty my pale cardie and hoping that the grass was dry as I had nothing to protect the rest of my clothing! The little yellow flower is a yellow rattle.

 Thank you so much for sticking with me whilst I've been on holiday, despite a distinct dearth of commenting on my part - I'm off to peruse some of your journals now but I'm not sure how long I'll last tonight after my early start, even though I had a short siesta this afternoon! Catch up with you all soon :))
