This is a set of photos I took in Old Spring Wood which is just outside of Thorpe Salvin in South Yorkshire. They look pretty good but I think they were still a week or two away from their best. A couple of weeks before I was in the woodland when the wood anemone and celandine were out so I feel I have been blessed this year by seeing the it at it's best. Neighbouring Hawk's Wood is renowned for it's snowdrops and wild garlic; I saw the snowdrops but I fear I will miss the garlic this year as it will be out at the moment and I can't get down.
I have included a nice little poem about a bluebell forest although I must point out that Old Spring Wood has birds aplenty and its never quiet!
In the bluebell forest
There is scarce a sound.
Only bluebells growing
Everywhere around.
I can't see a blackbird
Or hear a thrush sing.
I think I can almost
Hear the bluebells ring.
- O. Enoch
