This is that time of the year when forests in England are covered in a carpet of bluebells.
In England it is illegal - and imoral - to pick bluebells grown in the wild.

Beautiful photo of a very delicate flower! I love the blurred green background. I did a quick search for poems about bluebells, and here's the beginning of a poem by Emily Bronte (that gets a bit sad at the end but I like this part):
The Bluebell is the sweetest flower
That waves in summer air:
Its blossoms have the mightiest power
To soothe my spirit's care.
That fills my softened heart with bliss
That words could never tell.
Pretty little wildflower!
Bluebells are so lovely and delicate. This one is just perfect.
nice photo
Thank you all for enjoying this picture. I went to the woods specially to take a picture for you. Bluebells don't live for long...
Katie,
That was lovely...
I love Emily Bronte and wish she had written more.
