Meadows in all their grassy wildflower goodness

G and I went out for our daily walk up the lane near our house yesterday.  I love taking photos.  Sadly my camera is broken so these are taken with my mobile phone which has limited capability.  I might take out our youngest daughter's camera, she has a good one as she loves to take photos too.  I've never used it before, so it'll probably take me a bit to figure it out.

Yesterday I was amazed at how quickly the grass and flowers had grown in the local fields and how simply beautiful they are.  So, before the farmers cut it all down for hay, I took some photos.

Spiky old bush, it's not quite dead...

I love this little bluebell, it's like "I'm here too! I'm here too!" 

Isn't this cute?

Fields like these are so important for the local ecology and essential to bees and other insects.  We can all help the environment by letting a small part of our garden grow a bit wild, allow leaves to pile up for a hedgehog to hide in, plant native species of plants and flowers.  

Our local council are doing their bit by letting the verges at the side of the road grow long and planting out wildflowers on them.  They look prettier to me than the carefully manicured, sterile mown verges.

How are you helping out the local wildlife? Is there anything you especially like to do?
