More flowers... Campion (dark pink and pale pink versions) and Bluebells - there is a lot of colour around just now.
I recently came across this quote from a nature writer of last century. He was writing for the Guardian during the First World War and spoke of his reluctance to write trivial pieces about nature at a time of great national crisis. I can empathise as someone who posts pretty pictures when everyone around me posts angry, earnest political opinions on the state of the world.

I was looking at the beautiful dandelion heads when an orange tip butterfly showed up. His orange tips are hidden by the folded wings.
A few minutes later I stood for a happy 10 minutes watching a pod of dolphins go by. No photos of that I'm afraid - they were binocular distance.
