dew bells

I could not resist taking a photo of these bluebells sparkling in the morning sun.

I went out in the garden this morning to capture the new bluebells in the dew. Have a great weekend, everyone!

Sometimes a daring bluebell will pop up somewhere on the flat part of our property, but it usually doesn’t last more than a day before being nipped off by a hungry deer. However, the flowers have managed to colonize a steep rock face down by the water, where the deer can’t get at them, and I look forward to their bloom every spring.

A patch of bluebells, left to its own devices over the summer, has produced these quite beautiful seed pods: delicate papery chalices filled with droplets of blackest black.

Sometimes it’s fun to get lost in your own back yard.
