I feel privileged to live on a farm surrounded by native wildflower meadows. I’ve never been into flowers before, but now that they’re all around me, I find myself noticing the seasons more as the flowers come and go. I’m told this season is unusually warm, and as a result, the Snakeshead Fritillaries were both abundant and brief. They’re all a bit shrivelled and sad now, but I got a few good walks in to take some pictures and enjoy their brief visit.
To see some truly amazing photos of fritillaries, bluebells and more (many taken in my own neighborhood in North Wiltshire), visit my Flickr friend Eva’s blogs:
Eva and I stumbled across each other’s photos because we’d both uploaded pics taken on the farm. Now she gives me all kinds of wonderful tips on where to find native wildflowers in my neighborhood to enjoy and take pictures of. I hate to be a social media nerd bot, but it’s stuff like that which really makes social media supremely awesome. Oh but let’s face it – I AM a nerd bot. So be it!
