Bluebells!



Weeleyhall Wood Nature Reserve (Taken by my husband, Tim)


"In the soft light of the wood they glow like phosphorescent waters, casting a misty blue penumbra like the moon's at a change in the weather." 

Roger Deakin




"I do not think I have ever seen anything more beautiful than the bluebell I have been looking at. I know the beauty of our Lord by it. Its inscape is full of strength and grace." 

 Gerard Manley Hopkins 

 




"Though as a man I inherit great evils and the possibility of great loss and suffering. I know that my life is blessed and graced by the yearly flowering of the bluebells. How perfect they are! In their presence I am humble and joyful. If I were given all the learning and all the methods of my race I could not make one of them, or even imagine one." 

Wendell Berry
