Here in the Cotswolds the hills and the houses are made of the local limestone; the alkaline soil allows many meadow flowers to appear from around now.
Here's a couple I took today at f22 for the depth of field.
There are cowslips(yellow) and bluebells(oddly enough for a woodland flower)...also the rare pyramid orchid(I think it's called this).

Very reminiscent of parts of derbyshire, especially the limestone architecture. #2 is my favorite of the 2.

Very elegant shots that really exploit the DOF. What lens was this, Z?

[Zig]

That's got me thinking, Craig...yes, I remember Derbyshire as a child...a bit of millstone grit and other stuff too; I think it's the same "band" of limestone that resurfaces throughout Britain.
S'funny, but I thought that #1 was the stronger shot; I have to say, I'm a little nonplussed on occasion with my conversions to websize...ne'er mind....
Thank you Toad; yes, I should have said; #1 is the Canon 50 f1.8; #2 the Tamron 90mm f2.8 macro.
Given that there are swathes of greenery that are flower-free, it took a lot of crawling about to get these; eye-level for both shots was no more than 10 or 12 inches off the ground(sorry, I'm a pre-metric guy..handy for chatting to Trans-Ponders!)

I love these landscape pictures, Zig.
Both are great! You live in a beautiful place, and you show its beauty wonderfully...

Thanks a lot for sharing.

Your probably right about the limestone, Derbyshire is mostly limestone or Sandstone in the south.
