Micheldever Woods Bluebells
A second trip up to the woods at Micheldever over this weekend to see how the bluebells were coming on. The woods are large and there are many areas known to photographers for a good, extensive carpet of bells. In some places the bells go off into the distance for almost a mile.
On arrival the weather was cloudy with little chance of great light for highlighting the bells or the blossoming beech trees and their lime-green foliage.
I visited a number of areas and had to go to the far areas to get any good coverage. The bells this year seem very patchy and 2 or 3 of the main areas have been ruined by forest clearance work or the early frosts, or just too many folks walking over the flowers
This one was from the far side of the woodland, hidden away in an area not normally visited. The bells were not too bad and the thinning clouds from time to time, allowed a brighter light to pass over the trees and flowers.
Its worth another visit if I can get there again.
