In a Bluebell Wood

A fine and subtle spirit dwells
In every little flower,
Each one its own sweet feeling breathes
With more or less of power.
There is a silent eloquence
In every wild bluebell
That fills my softened heart with bliss
That words could never tell.
Anne Brontë


Most of these were taken on our property; a few are from the arboretum. I even braved our "scary woods" (scary to me, because of spiders – I am very allergic to them) to photograph the vacant hillside behind us.

Grateful thanks to each of you who stops by, and to the lovely new followers here. I know who each of you are! It still amazes me that you take the time from your busy lives to wander here. You are all fine spirits and I wish you a week of sunshine and hearts filled with bliss.

(Soon I will be writing more here, finishing a huge project now at which point I shall take a deep, deep breath and gather up all the threads of communication which have unravelled somewhat in recent weeks.)

  1. Dear Georgianna, I can now fully appreciate your beautiful photograpy. I have a new computer. Thank you for sharing and bringing beauty and sunshine to our house.
    We have not had a colder Spring, everything is late or frozen, except for my fantastic Hellebores.

  2. Oh ! All these lovely Bluebells ! You are so lucky to see them in this abundance ! I have planted a couple of these about 15 years ago, but only one survived - this one flowers just now too ! BTW - no, I did not yet find that Dogwood bush I want to plant, but I have not yet visited all the garden centers here around....wish me luck !

  4. This last bluebell image is breathtaking... the patina background, the stamp and cursive writing all work beautifully together to make that one sprig the star of the show;-)

  8. Yes, I think you may have a few more bluebells on your property than me! I have alot, and of course they spread like crazy!

    I love them when they're in bloom, but hate the chore of cleaning them up afterwards.

    I still have about 30 shots sitting on my computer that I haven't gone thru or posted, just of these little flowers. So much to do!

    Thanks as always for sharing your magic:)

  9. oh, g! i love all your bluebell shots so much! there's always so much to love when the flowers are blue or any other different color than the normal reds and pinks. the last photo captured me the most. i've always loved photos with stamps/envelopes.

  25. I don't even know what to say. I need to move. I need to pack up my family and my stuff and head across the country. I want to be your neighbor.

  26. That's so sweet, Relyn! You are welcome to visit anytime! There are a few places in my neighborhood for sale, but I think you would hate the traffic in Seattle. :)

Thank you so much for your visit and comments! I do my best to respond to everyone but with my travel schedule and other commitments, it might take me a few days. Thank you for being patient!
