My Bluebells and Ferns #linocut print was inspired by Middleton Woods in #Ilkley, which I shared photos of yesterday.

Trees in an English woodland are upstaged this month by the stupendous carpet of deep blue as millions of Bluebells cover a slope. Later the trees will dominate the scene again.

The deep purple of an English wild Bluebell flower with its narrow individual bell-like blooms, curling up at the ends into frills, seems to weigh heavily on the slender green stalk. Camera: IPhone 15 Pro.

Gorgeous English #bluebells in Middleton Woods in #Ilkley. The sound of birdsong & those vibrant colours are good for the soul. 😍

The Bluebell army advances in the shade of trees in the woodland among the greenery of the leaves. Fallen trees on the woodland floor are no obstacle to the mighty Bluebell army. The Bluebell army is even colonising the banks alongside village lanes, shrugging off the attempts to be outflanked by a battalion of white Stichwort infiltrators.

Carpets of bluebells in the woods today. A sweet smell, the sound of chiff chaffs and bumble bees. We go to this ancient woodland every year at bluebell time, near where we live and known only to locals, and it feels holy to me.

The first #PurpleFriday in April has to include the #EnglishBluebells that, despite the name, are now forming carpets of purple across the ancient woodlands in the area where I live in Surrey South of London.

English Bluebells with their thin bell-like purple drooping blooms glow in afternoon sun in a clearing beside a woodland bridle path. The flower’s colours contrasts perfectly with the deep greens of the leaves and slender stalks of the plants. The background of shaded trees is blurred in this mode.

Today I climbed the steep hill at the top of the village to bring you the invasion update. The troops are massing up there.

It won’t be long. Anyone else counting the days until our English woodlands are again carpeted in the lush blue and green of the Bluebells? I can’t wait, so here’s a brief injection of April in the depths of February. You’re welcome.

The forest floor is awash with the verdant fresh greens of new growth but it plays second fiddle to the swathes of almost purple English Bluebells dissecting the frame beneath tall thin trees that are just setting the first green leaves of Spring. Tree branches at right foreground are mostly bare but still hang on to some faded orange-coloured leaves from last autumn. Camera: iPhone 11 Pro

The quiet serenity of an English Bluebell wood in Spring. The kind of picture that keeps us going when the days start darkening early and winter approaches.

A sloping field in Kent woodland is filled with Bluebells, growing in early Spring before the leaves have formed on the trees. The scene is sunlit and a path to the right is dappled by shadows but there are no other people around on this day.

Then, again, some are different. Most Bluebells are blue or deep purple but every now and then you come across a patch of white ones.

My favourite bluebell picture, taken not in a wood but at a National trust garden not far from our home across the county border in Kent a few years ago.
A carpet of Bluebells stretches across the woodland floor down a slope next to a path. Many trees rise through the carpet but most are still almost bare as the leaves are just arriving, giving the Bluebells plenty of light to thrive in the Spring sunshine.

The woods are beginning to come alive. Just a sheen of blue among the green foliage at the moment but by the end of the week it will be a sea of bluebells. Early this year, perhaps because of the unseasonal sunshine, warmth and lack of rain. These ancient woods are bliss.
Morning sun illuminates woodland trees, which are beginning to leaf while the floor is filled with green foliage and the haze of bluebells just emerging. In the foreground a larger tree casts a dark shadow. A few bluebells have begun to flower among the thousands of other green plants growing on the woodland floor. On the right foreground the dead branch of a tree is caught in the morning sun. Behind a few tree trunks can be seen.

More from yesterday’s walk in our local ancient woodland where the bluebells are flowering in such profusion that the scent is overwhelming. Sun is out and birds are singing. Guess where we are going again today? Have a great Friday.
A forest floor is covered in a carpet of English bluebells, appearing purple in the distance. Sun filters through the branches of trees, which are beginning to show light green leaves. Dark purple English bluebells stand in the sunlight next to a woodland path. The ground is covered in the green leaves of the plants. In the background, the trees are beginning to get their leaves. The bright afternoon sun lights up some English bluebells standing tall on their green stalks near the trunk of a woodland tree.
