Hi Everyone, been away for a while busy at work but back now and getting my Shuttertalk fix!
Every year is a gamble on when to go to the various fantastic woodlands in my local area to catch the spring bluebells in full flower.
They literally only stay like this for a week or so and it varies on the weather we have had and the amount of rain as to when they bloom. This year we have had a very warm spring and the flowers came a little earlier.
I was looking for some classic spring woodland views and also some other items of interest.
It is such an amazing time of year in England, I will miss it when I go
Hope you all enjoy!

Beautiful overview of this forest with bluebells...
These flowers have beautiful color, pity they last in the forest so short time.
Very impressive and beautiful tree in your last picture. The black of the trunk and branches contrast so nicely with the rest of the landscape.

Fantastic colours. The third shot is my favourite.

Did you use a filter or Photoshop or something to get your bluebells looking blue?

Hi Alastair no filters just some v.minor cooling of the raw image and tweaking the contrast and saturation a little in Photoshop. They really were that blue!
