“Hello, I am Sadie. I am trying to find my way through this cloud of cow parsley”

Lovely bright buttercups … “Oh yes, I definitely like butter”

Salisfy … “they’re nice with butter too”

Plantain … “If only my Mum would stop picking them for catapults”

Ox-eye daisies … “They are fun ‘cos they bounce back as I pass”

Cow parsley … “Great for hiding in”

Dandelion clocks … “Not sure what the time is though”

Red clover … “Oh good luck for me, I’ve found one with four leaves”

Flowering meadow foxtail grass … “Excuse me while I sneeze!”

The ditch … “Better wash off all that pollen. Now I am ready to go home!”
What a fab place. Hope Sadie wasn’t too smelly after her bath in the ditch!
Well she probably was … but she always gets hosed down at the door!
Lovely blog and photos!
Thank you!
Sweet! Nothing like a meadow in May!
Agreed … shame I couldn’t post the sound of the skylarks too!
Okay, so I had to go look it up its song…it’s lovely and very energetic! 🙂 https://youtu.be/8Yz2_baQnpo
At school we used to play lawn tennis to that sound. I love it.
I’ve kept the site marked, so I can work with it in the background. Cheerful and soothing. 🙂
What a cute dog and she’s a good writer, too. Love that last shot!
Thanks. It could have been worse. The ditch further up is full of thick black silt which seems to stain!
It’s delightful to see that plantain. I have the same species growing in a vacant lot across from me. It’s always fun to see the similarities among far-flung places.
I agree! I love it when I spot things in common, like starlings for instance, on blogs based on the other side of the globe!
The May wild flowers are wonderful this year, specially the buttercup meadows.
I think is partly nature in catch-up mode, but you are right about the buttercups this year. There are literally acres of them lighting up the lambing fields at Wimpole.
Great photos and I love the dog’s eye view. Great post!
Thanks.
Sadie’s view of the world is inspiring, wonderful that there are so many wild flowers still around. Here the Vetch is incredible this year. I must try to photograph it.
That’s interesting … ‘cos here it has been far less overwhelming in our meadow than last year.
